The primacy of caring is a model proposed by Patricia Benner and Judith Wrubel. Caring is central. Roy's model is to help the person adapt to changes in physiological needs, self-concept, role function, and relations. The goal of Orem's theory is to help the patient perform self-care. Roger's theory considers the individual as an energy field coexisting within the universe.
