MYRA ESTRIN LEVINE (Conservation to exist and to survive)



One of the best and simplest theory formulated that even me might be able to discover such theory, the “ Conservation Model “ as discussed that we can only conserved if we have already what to conserve. If we could go straight to the very significant aspect of our life which is health. Our health depends on what we eat, there are many books, magazines, lectures, seminars, advertisements etc. which will tell us who, what, when, where to do with our health this is to conserve your willingness to survive. The environment we are in are factors to consider in the conservation of the health we have. If we have a good health, we conserve our life. The primary focus of conservation is keeping together of the wholeness of the individual. Although nursing interventions may deal with one particular conservation principle, nurses must also recognize the influence of the other conservation principle. Conservation focuses on achieving a balance of energy supply and demand within  the biological realities which humans do differs from each other. Nursing care is based on the scientific knowledge and nursing skills. Our body needs rest so to speak that we sleep at night and work in a broad daylight or the other way around case to case basis. We cannot force out body to work straight till such time that your body can no longer function normally. The system will tell that you reach the capacity and that we need to conserve the energy within us for the next number of ours that we are awake. Even the knowledge that we are having inside our brain are subject to conservation theory for which we tend to keep when a situation arises for us to use the common termed “stock knowledge”. The Levine’s theory will not only be applicable in the nursing world but to our daily existence. Even the simple savings to sustain and survive for the next pay day is also part of conservation.  A beach outing will take place five days from now and you were so excited to join such activities. You tend to save money , keep yourself not to get sick so that when that day comes , you will have all the excitement you are expecting days before. To conserve is to do something which you can again able to perform when need arises.
