The Symptom Management Theory was conceived in 1994 by the University of California, San Francisco, nursing faculty to create a collaborative framework to propel research and clinical intervention in symptom management. A symptom, although a subjective experience, encompasses both subjectively and objectively the following domains of functioning: biological, physiological and psychosocial. The onset of a symptom is often the point of entry for individuals into the health care system; both assessment of the underlying mechanism and effective management intervention is imperative for comprehensive care. The originators of this theory aptly noted that a synergistic approach to symptom management was needed as symptoms do not exist alone. The experience of symptoms includes the interplay of 3 constructs: symptom experience, symptom management strategies, and system status outcomes; these which are encompassed by the reciprocal dimensions of nursing science: person domain, health and illness domain and environmental domain. Underlying the premise of effective symptom management is the ability to address an individual’s knowledge of symptom appraisal and ability to self-manage. Perhaps the most unique aspect of this theory is the paradigm shift with the patient at the helm of symptom management, and nurse scientists, clinicians and educators’ role as advocates in effective management strategies.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.
