Imogene King (1923-2007) was a major 20th-century thought leader for professional nursing practice. The texts and articles she wrote challenged nurse scholars to think conceptually about nursing practice. King’s Conceptual Systems and Theory of Goal Attainment were formative in the nursing theory movement which was a part of the professionalization of the nursing practice. This text, the first book that originates from within the King International Nursing Group, makes the systems framework and theory of Imogene King relevant for today’s practitioners and displays the value of this theory to improve clinical nursing practice. The personal and professional biographical content is broad and broaches such topics as spirituality, vulnerable populations, ethics, nurse listening behaviors as foundational nursing practice, philosophy, professional role, and shared governance reflecting the continued relevance of King’s work both in the United States and around the globe with a focus on outcomes.

Diana Newman has applied the King Systems framework and other nursing models and theories throughout her career as a Nurse Educator, Researcher, and Practitioner. She is the lead editor of this book.

Beverly J. Whelton is an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy teaching part-time at Wheeling University, USA. She received her MSN, MA and PhD in Philosophy from the Catholic University of America.

Stacey Marye synthesizes her research results through the lens of King’s Interactive Systems framework to identify how nurses can help to resolve asthma treatment inequities when they occur among individual, interpersonal, and social systems.

Nancy Loos has used King’s theoretical models in her scholarship involving patient perception of nurse listening behaviors and their effect on patient outcomes and continues to find its usefulness in other patient-focused situations.
