Abstract

To achieve the study's objectives, a model for a comprehensive support model for HBCWs providing care to the community was  developed through five phases: caring, which is a central idea of Watson's (2017) theory of human caring; a poor positive work  environment; poor; support, poor supervision; and a lack of resources. The results showed that a lack of resources, a bad supportive  work environment, inadequate supervision, and a lack of care fundamental component of Watson's (2017) theory of human caring model  development, were present. An evaluation phase was also included. The six components of the practice theory, as described by  Dickoff, James, and Wiedenbach's (1968) survey list, which was mentioned by Maputle (2010), were used to categorise, and conceptualize  the detected concepts. Context, actor, recipient, dynamic, method, and terminus are some of these components. The joint assertions that  came after each of the six concepts was conceptualized were reached using a logical analysis and synthesis process. Six components  were used in the development of the comprehensive support model for HBCWs providing care to the community. These  components were agents, recipients, context, process, dynamics, and outcomes from practice-oriented theory, as described in Chinn and  Kramer's (1999; 2008; Walker and Avant, 2013). Experts in community health practice and model production assessed the model in  compliance with the methodology of Chinn and Kramer (2014, quoted in Aluko, 2016). It was discussed how the study's original  contribution to the corpus of knowledge was justified. Concerning the research that was given, operationalization requirements for the  model, and future research, limitations were noted, and recommendations were made.
