2. Introduction
This theory describe by Helen Erickson
and Mary Ann Swain’s its focus on
Modeling and role modeling in nursing
Sciences.

3. Overview of Modeling and Role
Modeling Theory
MRM is based in several nursing principles
that guide the assessment, intervention, and
evaluation aspects of practice. These principles
reflected in the data collection categories are linked
to intervention aims and goals. Nursing
interventions should have intent ; nurses should
aim to make something happen that facilitates
health and healing when they interact with
clients.

4. Modeling
The modeling process involves assessment of a
client’s situation. It starts when we initiate an
interaction with an individual and concludes with
an understanding of that person’s perspective of
their circumstances.

5. Purpose of modeling
1- learn how that individual describes the situation.
2- what he or she expects will happen.
3- his or her perceived resources and life goals.
4- modeling is use to build a mirror image of an
individual’s worldview.
This worldview helps us understand what that
person perceives to be important, what has caused
his or her problems, what will help, and how he or
she wants to relate to others.

6. Relations Among Principles, Data Categories,
Intervention Goals, and Aims
Relations Among Principles, Data
Categories, Intervention Goals, and
Aims
The nursing
process requires
that trusting
and functional
relationship exist
between nurse
and client.
Descripti
on of
the
situation
Develop
trusting and
relationship
between self
and your
client
Build trust.

7. Role-Modeling
The role-modeling process requires both objective
and artistic actions. First, we analyze the
data using theoretical propositions in the MRM
Model.

8. Categories of Data and Purpose
for Obtaining Data
A- Description of the Situation:
1.An overview of client’s perception of the
problem
2.The etiology of the problem including stressors
and distressors
3.Client’s perceived therapeutic needs.
B- Expectations:
1.Immediate expectations.
2.Long-term expectations.

9. C- Resource Potential:
1.External: Social network, support system, and
health-care system.
2.Internal: Self-strengths, adaptive potential,
feeling states, physiological states.
D- Goal and Life Tasks:
1.Current goals.
2.Plans for future.

10. Selected Theoretical Propositions
in MRM Theory
1.Developmental task resolution is related to basic
need status.
2.Growth depends on basic need status and is
facilitated by growth need satisfaction.
3.Basic need satisfaction leads to object
attachment.
4.Object loss leads to basic need deficits.
5. Feelings of worth result in a sense of futurity.
6. Development of self-care resources is related
to basic need satisfaction.
