In this paper the authors evaluate the Johnson Behavioural System Model of Nursing by applying the assessment criteria described m an earlier paper Data for the evaluation were collected by one of the authors (W R) at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and Hospital, and the UCLA School of Nursing, Los Angeles The major focus of this paper relates to how nurses at the above facilities apply the Johnson Behavioural System Model of Nursing and how that relates to the questions posed m a previous paper which should be asked by clinicians when assessing the relevance of a model to clinical Nursing practice namely, (a) to what extent does the model assist with the identification of the range of human responses to actual or potential health problems? (b) How does the model enable a nursing diagnosis to be made, and what is the basis of that diagnosis? (c) Does the model explain why individuals respond to health problems m the way that they do? (d) Does the model inform clinicians of the nursing interventions required to enable the client to move towards optimum health? (e) Does the model help to provide an understanding of the desired outcome of Nursing intervention?
