Career and Appointments

Orlando had a diverse career, working as a practitioner, consultant, researcher, and educator in nursing. Orlando devoted her life to mental health and psychiatric nursing, working as a clinical nurse and researcher.

Orlando used to work in a hospital exclusive for childbirth in a short span of time.After receiving her master’s degree in 1954, Orlando went to the Yale University School of Nursing in New Haven, Connecticut as an associate professor of mental health and psychiatric nursing for eight years. She was awarded a federal grant and became a research associate and the principal project investigator of a National Institute of Mental health Institute of the United States Public Health Service’s grant entitled “Integration of Mental Health Concepts in a Basic Curriculum.” The project sought to identify those factors relevant to the integration of psychiatric-mental health principles into the nursing curriculum.

From 1962-1972, Orlando served as a clinical nurse consultant at Mclean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. In this position, she studied the interactions of nurses with clients, other nurses and other staff members and how these interactions affected the process of the nurse’s help to clients. Orlando convinced the administration that an educational program for nurses was needed, whereupon Mclean Hospital initiated an educational program based on her nursing model.

She was also a project consultant for the Mental Health Project for Associate Degree Faculties created by the New England Board of Higher Education. Finally in 1992, Orlando retired and received the Nursing Living Legend award by the Massachusetts Registered Nurse Association.

Deliberative Nursing Process Theory

Main Article: Ida Jean Orlando’s Deliberative Nursing Process Theory

Orlando developed her theory from a study conducted at the Yale University School of Nursing, integrating mental health concepts into a basic nursing curriculum. She proposed that “patients have their own meanings and interpretations of situations and therefore nurses must validate their inferences and analyses with patients before drawing conclusions.”

The theory was published in The Dynamic Nurse-Patient Relationship: Function, Process, and Principles (NLN Classics in Nursing Theory) in 1961. Her book purposed a contribution to concern about the nurse-patient relationship, the nurse’s professional role and identity, and the knowledge development distinct to nursing.

Orlando’s nursing theory stresses the reciprocal relationship between patient and nurse. What the nurse and the patient say and do affects them both. She views the professional function of nursing as finding out and meeting the patient’s immediate need for help.

Master of Arts degree in mental health consultation from Teachers College, Columbia UniversityShe also described her model as revolving around the following five major interrelated concepts: function of professional nursing, presenting behavior, immediate reaction, nursing process discipline, and improvement. The function of professional nursing is the organizing principle. Presenting behavior is the patient’s problematic situation. The immediate reaction is the internal response. The nursing process discipline is the investigation into the patient’s needs. And lastly, improvement is the resolution to the patient’s situation.

The Deliberative Nursing Process has five stages: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Nurses use the standard nursing process in Orlando’s Nursing Process Discipline Theory to produce positive outcomes or patient improvement. Orlando’s key focus was the definition of the function of nursing. The model provides a framework for nursing, but the use of her theory does not exclude nurses from using other nursing theories while caring for patients.
