Rationale : The dominant view of nursing theories is considered the "stability model" (Hood & Leddy, 2003). These theories use systems or stress/adaptation as frameworks. The theories of Callista Roy, Betty Neuman, and Imogene King would fit in the stability model. The emerging view is considered the "growth model" with theories using caring or complexity as frameworks. This model includes the theories of Dorothea Orem, Jean Watson, Hildegard Peplau, Martha Rogers, and Rosemarie Parse.
