Joyce Travelbee (1926-1973) developed the Human-to-Human Relationship Model
presented in her book Interpersonal Aspects of Nursing (1966, 1971). She dealt with the interpersonal aspects of nursing. She explains human-to-human relationship is the means through which the purpose of nursing if fulfilled

Travelbees mentor, Ida Jean Orlando, is
one of her influences in her theory. Orlandos model has similarities to the model that Travelbee proposes. The similarities between the two models are shown in Travelbees statement: the nurse and patient interrelate with each other and by her description of the purpose of Nursing. She stated that the purpose of nursing is to assist an individual, family or community to prevent or cope with the experience of illness or suffering, and if necessary, to find meaning in these Free Powerpoint Templates experiences.

Travelbee based the assumptions of her theory on the concepts of existentialism by Soren Kierkegaard and logotherapy by Viktor Frankl. Existential theory believes that that humans are constantly faced choices and conflicts and is accountable to the choices we make in life Logotherapy theory was first proposed by
Viktor Frankel, a survivor of Auschwitzand other Nazi concentration camps , in his book Man's Search for Meaning (1963) in which a patient is actually confronted with and reoriented toward the meaning of his Free Powerpoint Templates life.

Frankls concept is based on the premise that the primary motivational force of an
individual is to find a meaning in life. The following list of tenets represents basic principles of logotherapy: Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones. Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life. We have freedom to find meaning in what we do, and what we experience, or at least in the stand we take when faced with a Free Powerpoint Templates situation of unchangeable suffering

categories. Nurses should remember that patients are human beings who differ from other human being only in requesting the assistance of other human beings believed capable of helping them solve health problems. Relationships are established when both partners perceive each others uniqueness.

1. Original Encounter Characterized by first impressions by the nurse of the ill person and the ill person of the nurse. Emotional knowledge colours impressions and perceptions of both nurse and patient during initial encounters. The task is to break the bond of categorization in order to perceive the human being in the patient and vice versa.(Travelbee, 1966, p.133)

The spiritual values of the nurse or her philosophical beliefs about illness and suffering will determine the extend to which she will be able to help patients to find meaning [or no meaning] in these situations.

Analysis
Clarity is not consistent in clarity and origin. 1. Definition of terms came from dictionaries and books etc. 2. Used different terms for the same definition. 3. Focus more on adult individuals who are sick and the nurses role in helping them to find meaning in their sickness and suffering. 4. Deals in families and their needs but not in the community

Simplicity not simple. 1. Contains different variables.
Generality has wide scope of application but applicable only to those patients in distress and life changing events.

Empirical Precision low measures of empirical soundness. 1. Result of lack of simplicity.
2. Defines concepts theoretically but does not define them operationally. 3. The model has not been tested.

Derivable Consequences development of quality of caring.
1. It is useful because of its ability to describe, explain, predict and control a phenomena. 2. Explains the variables that affect the establishment of a therapeutic relationship between nurses and patients.
