Abstract

Objective: to gain deeper knowledge on the perception that professionals and nursing students have regarding the practical use of Nursing models and theories.
Material and method: cross-sectional, descriptive study. The sample was comprised of healthcare professionals and students enrolled in the schools that carried out clinical practice sessions in the Parc Taulí Health Corporation during 2006/2007.
Results: The model learned during the training period was the Henderson model in both groups. In regards to the use of the model in healthcare practice, 62% of students and 23% of professionals claimed that they used the models. In terms of whether they identified with the care model used, 88% of students and 83% of professionals responded affirmatively.
Conclusions: both groups showed high variability and confusion in certain concepts. The use of a certain model or theory during training does not necessarily lead to identification with the studied author’s concepts. The nursing meta-paradigm is not shaped by one exclusive model.
