Abstract

This article discusses the utilization of Imogene M. King's (1981) theory of goal attainment with a group of elderly clients who were living in a nursing home and experiencing many of the chronic health problems frequently associated with advanced age. Group members met weekly for 10 weeks to explore methods to promote continuous health restoration. Application of King's theory of goal attainment, utilizing interactions, transactions, perceptions, and expressions of self, facilitated mutual nurse-client goal identification and achievement.
