Systematic analysis of the Neuman Systems Model corroborates its significance for family caregivers of chronic disease, suggesting implications for nursing practice.
The Neuman systems model is a holistic framework consisting of stressors and related reactions that has been applied to family caregivers of people with chronic diseases. Given the lack of recent critique, this study systematically analyzes and evaluates the model according to Fawcett and DeSanto-Madeya's 2013 framework, including examination of its testability and empirical adequacy for family caregivers of people with chronic diseases. Although the model has limited internal consistency and lacks parsimony, it has clear concepts and propositions that reflect the nursing metaparadigm, and it has demonstrated its social and theoretical significance, testability, and empirical and pragmatic adequacy.
