Helvie energy theory of nursing and health

The Helvie Energy Theory of Nursing and Health is a nursing theory developed by Carl O. Helvie's lifelong cross-cultural exposure to various ways of assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating health with application to individuals, families, and to specific communities across the world.^[1][2][3]

Following publication of an advanced practice registered nursing textbook using the theory as a framework,^[4] the theory was cited and discussed in graduate nursing textbooks,^[5][6][7][8] in graduate nursing courses and in nursing agency manuals.^{[9][10][11][12][13]} Likewise the Helvie Energy Theory has been widely appropriated for use in Alternative Health literature.^{[14][15][16][17][18]}
