ABSTRACT
Nurses play a crucial role in healthcare services and are responsible for providing high-quality care based
on theories and models. Numerous models are available for nurses to plan care with. The Neuman systems
model approaches the individual from a holistic and systematic perspective and is widely used in the nursing
process. In this case study, nursing care based on the Neuman systems model was planned for a patient
tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), which is a challenge the whole world is facing today.
However, it is even riskier for pregnant women. Stressors were determined using the “six basic questions”
in the Neuman systems model. Then, appropriate nursing interventions were planned to help the case
experience less stress and adapt to the new situation more quickly. Nursing care consisted of primary,
secondary, and tertiary protection.
This was a case report of a pregnant woman tested positive for COVID-19. The Neuman systems model
was used to plan nursing care within the nursing process. We believe that the results will serve as a guide
for nurses facing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
