Aims & Objectives
•
•
•
•
•
•
how and why the model was formulated
its structure
rationale for its content
draw and label the model
describe the model’s axes
differentiate between the model’s care
domains and their scope
While developed in health and social care, Hodges model has universal potential

Why bother?
1. Models are no longer flavour of the month.
2. In this age of multidisciplinary teams and
integrated care surely nursing models have no
role to play except possibly within nurse
education.
3. If there was little or no time in the 80s and 90s
for models in practise, then there certainly isn’t
now.
4. And even if you are old enough to have the
experience and things really do go round in
circles this is one turn to many.
Peter Jones 2006
Hodges model:
developed to address four problems
1. To produce a curriculum development tool.
2. To help ensure holistic assessment and
evaluation.
3. To support reflective practice, individually
and in a group.
4. To reduce the theory-practice gap.
Peter Jones 2006
Brian Hodges’ questions:
• Who do nurses care for?
– Individuals
– Groups and whole populations: global health
• What do nurses do?
– Mechanistic: tasks, procedures, treatments
– Humanistic: personal, empathy, caring

Model diagrammatic formulation
• Paper exercise - output:
Peter Jones 2006
Key assumptions:
1. Physical care informed by the
SCIENCES
2. Emotional care informed by
INTERPERSONAL – Psychology
3. Health and Social Care theory and
practice are centred on the individual and
the situations encountered.
Peter Jones 2006
Care Domains & Content
• SCIENCES
• POLITICAL
• SOCIOLOGY
• INTERPERSONAL
Peter Jones 2006
Closing Questions
• Sciences domain individual focus and yet
groups must also be considered – public
health. Is this a weakness of the model, or
does it highlight the transition from
individual care to care of groups which
instantly becomes politicised?
• Is there a concept common across all
domains that constitutes a fourth
assumption?
