    VIRGINIA HENDERSON

    Virginia Avenel Henderson was born in 1897 in Kansas and passed away on March
    19, 1996 at the age of ninety-nine. She developed her interest in nursing after World
    War I. It is there where she stood out for attending her peers. She studied in
    Washington D.C.. In 1918 at the age of 21, she began her nursing studies at the
    Army School of Nursing.

    VIRGINIA THEORY

    Virginia Henderson formulated her own definition of Nursing. This definition was an essential starting
    point for nursing to emerge as a separate discipline from medicine. She is to say, she worked to
    define the profession and what nursing care was.

    For her, nursing is: “Helping the healthy or sick individual in carrying out activities that contribute to
    their health and well-being, recovery or to achieve a dignified death. Activities that he would carry out
    by himself if he had the necessary strength, will and knowledge. Make him help achieve
    independence from him as soon as possible.” The nurse's priority is to help people and their families
    (which she considered as a unit). Therefore, the nurse owns the care. In the postulates that support
    the model, we discover the point of view of the patient who receives care from the nursing staff.

    For Henderson, nursing is an independent profession whose main function is to help, but this work is
    not done alone but as part of the health team. It is a profession that needs and possesses biological
    and social science knowledge. The nurse also knows how to deal with new public health needs and
    knows how to assess human needs.

    She revolutionized the world of nursing by redefining the concept of nursing and cataloging the 14
    basic needs, with which she still works today, trying to completely cover the needs of the patient in
    the way that is possible; needs that would be common to every person, sick or well. The first nine
    needs refer to the physiological plane. The tenth and fourteenth are psychological aspects of
    communication and learning. The eleventh need is on the moral and spiritual plane. Finally, the
    twelfth and thirteenth needs are sociologically oriented to the occupational and recreational level. For
    Henderson, the independence of the patient is basic and fundamental as far as possible, and he
    directs his care so that he achieves it as quickly as possible. The patient, according to Virginia, has
    to be helped in the functions that he himself would perform if he had strength, will and knowledge
