Title
The McGill Model of Nursing: Health and Learning in Older Adults
Abstract
The author explores the concepts of health and learning in the McGill Model of Nursing by examining the relationships between sense of coherence, self-directed continuing learning, and psychological well-being in a sample of white, middle class, English-speaking, elderly adults in a large, urban, long-term care residence. The author also examines the testing of the measurement instruments for use in studies with older adults. Using a quantitative, nondirectional, correlational design, and a sample of convenience, she found a high positive correlation between sense of coherence and psychological well-being and a moderate positive correlation between sense of coherence and self-directed continuing learning. The author concludes that the results lend support to the relationship between health and learning in the McGill Model of Nursing and to the relevance of the model to gerontological nursing in long-term care.
