The Mid-Range Transition Model
Transition is a central concept in nursing. The case in this article was about a study that was conducted in order to assess the phychosocial distress that a patient endures when placed in a four bed ward in a critical care setting. The participants 'described a sense of disconnection” due to the lack of understanding, awareness, and sensitivity shown by the nurses. The mid-range transition model was used to analyze the experience by the patient. The nursing ratio was about one nurse per six to eight patients. The theory was used to acknowledge the challenges between clinicians and patients and their transition did not only account for the specialty of care ,but also the transition of being independent to dependent care.
