Abstract

In 1975 Meleis set forth a conceptual framework for nursing practice centered on the concepts of role insufficiency and role supplementation. Later, Millor introduced a parental role sufficiency model for nursing research in child abuse and neglect. Based on the works of Meleis and Millor, a nursing practice model is proposed that focuses on maternal role sufficiency. It includes assessment of prenatal characteristics, measurement of developmental and health-illness outcomes, and preventive role supplementation intervention.
