Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms

[edit]

The theory of unpleasant symptoms is a mid range nursing theory developed by Lenz et al. to describe the relationships between physiological, psychological, and situational factors and patient symptoms.[1] The authors of the theory argue that many symptoms can exist simultaneously and can by addressing contributing factors a nurse can influence symptom experience and patient outcomes[2] The authors would later go on to discuss the reciprocal relationships of symptoms, outcomes, and factors on one another[3]
