Theory of Bureaucratic Caring
Sherrilyn Coffman presents us with the following quote from an interview:
“Improved patient safety, infection control, reduction in medication errors, and overall
quality of care in complex bureaucratic health care systems cannot occur without
knowledge and understanding of spiritual-ethical caring, compassion and right action
for all patients and professionals” (M. Ray, personal communication, April 13, 2008).
Literature Overview of the Theory
Smith and Parker (2015) states, it is a discussion of contemporary nursing culture and shares theoretical view in nursing and those that correspond to the authors theoretical vision and development of professional nursing. The theory of bureaucratic caring is discussed first as a grounded theory (substantive and formal), then as a biological theory. It integrates the relevance of the theory in administrative and clinical practice (p. 462).

Chapter Review Chapter 28
Literature Overview of the Theory
According to Smith and Parker (2015), an overview of the theory Troutman-Jordan’s Theory of Successful Aging addresses successful aging or its accomplishment. Practical guidelines are provided for the promotion of successful aging. The impetus for developing the theory of successful aging was enhanced understanding of successful again, capture from the older adult’s perspective and identification of foci for intervention to foster aging. An emphasis was to improve health, function, and quality of life of the older adult.
Smith and Parker (2015) say that an overview of Troutman-Theory Jordan’s of Successful Aging talks about aging well or making it happen. There are suggestions for how to age well that can be put into practice. The idea for the theory of successful aging came from a better understanding of what it means to be successful, from the older adult’s point of view, and from figuring out where to focus interventions to help people age well. The focus was on helping older adults improve their health, function, and quality of life.
