Adapted Concepts of Bevis’ Curricular Framework
Philosophical Foundation and Key Theoretical Concepts
Introduction
The University of Windsor, St. Clair and Lambton Colleges have adopted the key concepts from
Em Bevis’ Curricular Framework (1973, 1983) as the theoretical basis for the collaborative
nursing program. This brief outline provides the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of
the collaborative program.
Philosophical Foundation
The philosophical underpinnings of the curriculum are important in that they provide insight into
nursing’s beliefs about persons, environment, health and nursing, as well as knowledge and
ethics which underlie nursing practice. The theoretical foundation for Bevis’ concepts is based
on a humanistic existentialism philosophy.
Humanism
Humanism emphasizes the value, beauty and importance of being human and a concerned action
geared to human ideals, human existence and quality of life. Humanism is characterized by a
value system that places great importance and high priority on caring about people.
Existentialism
Existentialism holds that each person is unique and inexplicable by science or philosophy. It is a
natural part of holistic philosophy and proposes that the whole of a human being is different from
his/her parts. Existentialism proposes that human are thinking beings who make choices.
The tenet that a human is free (freedom to choose) is the most basic of all freedoms. Two other
attributes spring from this freedom. Freedom of choice makes a human being a suffering
individual and unpredictable. Freedom to choose and being a thinking being implies
accountability. If one makes one’s own choices, then one is accountable to self and other human
beings.
Theoretical Basis
The theoretical base for Bevis’ concepts is “General Systems Theory”. A system is anything that
functions as a unit of “wholes” because its parts are interdependent. Persons have open systems
in that energy and matter are imported from other systems and free exchange causes the system
to achieve more complexity and heterogeneity. All open systems have subsystems and all but
the largest have supra systems. Systems have inputs (energy and information going into the
system) and outputs (energy and information going out of the system).
63-272 Course Outline – F06

63-272 – Official 2006F
The key concepts for the collaborative nursing program are outlined below:
Person: Individuals are unique holistic persons with inherent dignity and are worthy of respect
and care. Individuals are capable of entering reciprocal relationships that foster health, growth
and self-actualization.
Environment: The milieu within which individuals, families and communities strive to achieve
optimal health. As persons attempt to mature and adapt, there are dynamic interactions that can
serve as a source of growth.
Health: Is a dynamic process whereby the individual, family or community is able to realize
aspirations, satisfy needs and change or cope with the environment. Health is a resource for
everyday life. It is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources a well as
physical capacity. Health is the goal of all nursing behaviours.
Nursing: Is a process. Its purpose is to promote optimal health through nursing activities. These
activities are carried out with three client systems-individuals, families and communities.
Nursing’s role is to facilitate maturation and adaptation in these client systems. The tools with
which nurses function are: communication, caring, problem-solving/decision-making,
management/change and teaching/learning. Nurses are autonomous health professionals, who
collaborate with other members of the health care team for the benefit of clients. They are
accountable for their activities; they monitor and regulate the quality of nursing care given and
prove each other with mutual protection, nurturing and facilitation of growth. The purpose of
nursing is “the highest possible level of health or self-actualization for clients/patients”. (Bevis).
LIFE PROCESSES: Bevis has identified two life processes: (maturation and adaptation) which
are health-producing tasks.
Maturation: Clients/patients are involved in maturational tasks that influence health.
Individuals, families and communities have tasks to achieve to continue to grow. Clients,
developing beings, move through life from one level to another, each level progressively
differentiated from the other and integrated with the other at more advanced levels.
Developmental status is one of the variables that influence nursing care because health and
consequently nursing care impinge on, encourage or inhibit development as it moves from
differentiation to integration.
Adaptation: Is the outcome of the interaction of variables with the dynamics of stress as it
influences persons, families and/or communities. Stress is a physical and emotional state always
present in the person, one influenced by various environmental, psychological, and social factors
but uniquely perceived by the person and intensified in response when environmental change or
threat occurs internally or externally and the person must respond. The stress response is always
an attempt at adaptation. For example, eustress is the stress that comes with successful
adaptation and that is beneficial or promotes development and self-actualization. Distress is
negative, noxious, unpleasant, damaging stress that results when adaptive capacity is decreased
or exhausted.

63-272 – Official 2006F
FIVE TOOLS OF NURSING PRACTICE
Problem-Solving/Decision Making: Problem solving, a process, is used to arrive at a place
where decision can be made. Decision-making presupposes that problem solving has taken place
and is the end product of problem solving. Problem solving involves all of the analytical
processes including the nursing process and research. Decision-making is the acquiring,
ordering and selecting of tools, resources, or alternatives for reaching goals or fulfilling needs.
Problem solving is the system/process used to arrive at a place where decision can be made.
Decision-making involves all of the analytical processes, including the nursing process and
research process and utilizes critical thinking abilities of participants.
Communication: Communication involves a series of processes such as becoming self-aware,
sensitive and responsible to oneself and others. There are overt and covert signs and symbols as
well as verbal and nonverbal cures to promote message-sending, an receiving activities plus
processing, intuiting activities and the sending of feedback messages.
Teaching/Learning: Learning is a change in behaviour, perception, insights, attitude, or a
combination of these that can be repeated when the need is aroused. The change in behaviour
may/may not be directly observable; however, the effects of learning are always observable.
Teaching is a purposeful activity designated to facilitate learning and hence, becomes linked to
learning.
Caring: “Caring gives comprehensive meaning and order to one’s life (Mayeroff, 1971). Caring
is one of the basic drives of life is to complete oneself. It is manifested in the drive to grow, to
fulfill, to transcend one’s “prison of self”. The conditions of caring and the caring process
enable mutual growth.
Management/Planned Change: The process of management/planned change subsumes the
processes of leadership, organizational structure and management. Planned change is the
purposeful planned adaptation to a shift in the environment. “Planned” indicated collaborative
and cooperative endeavours. The phrase “shift in the environment” means an increase in the
number and complexity of variables as opposed to the stability of the environmental factors.

Course Requirements, Evaluation Methods and Grading System.
63-272 will be offered on a pass/non-pass basis.
Each week students will have a laboratory experience during which there will be casestudies, technical skills, calculation skills and critical thinking exercises presented.
Students are expected to read the assigned readings and have a good understanding of the
theoretical basis of the skills prior to each lab. There will be skills evaluation session
related to technical skills and theoretical knowledge as well as two written medication
calculation quizzes in which the student must obtain 100%. The above evaluation
methods will constitute the Competency Performance Evaluation (CPE) for the
laboratory experience. All CPE’s and all of the critical elements must be passed. If
unsuccessful in CPE skills, students must set aside time to practice and will be retested on
one further opportunity to demonstrate progress from a “Non-Pass” to a “Pass”. If
students are unsuccessful in calculation quizzes, they must set aside time to review and
will be given two further opportunities to pass.
Each week, students will also have the opportunity to care for clients in the clinical area.
These clients will include young adults, adults, and older adults experiencing acute and
long-term health needs. Students will be expected to practice both professional and
technical skills. Students will be expected to demonstrate both UC’s and Course
Competency Outcomes (CPE’s) and their critical elements at an acceptable level (see
evaluation format). There will be a written mid-term performance evaluation. If a
student obtains a non-pass, a written plan will be devised by the student and instructor in
order to assist the student to obtain a “Pass” grade. There will also be a final written
performance evaluation. Students are expected to pass all critical elements indicated in
the CPE’s.
All Universal Competencies must be passed. All Competency Outcome Elements
(CPE’s) must be passed.
A pass in BOTH the laboratory and the clinical experience must be obtained in order for
the student to obtain a Pass in 63-272.
The written assignments (CPAs) for the 63-272 clinical experience are as follows:
CPA #1 – Learning Plan
1. A written learning plan is to be handed to the clinical instructor by Week 2. The plan
should consist of an evaluation of the learning plan from first year as well as 2 new
goals relevant to 63-272. Students are required to submit their revised learning plan
and their portfolio for the instructor to assess.
CPA #2 – OR Assignment
1. Pre and post-op assessment. Completion of Peri-operative Case Study assignment.
