Erwin Böhm (born May 16, 1940 in Vienna ) is an Austrian nursing scientist .

life and work

Böhm became a qualified psychiatric nurse in 1963 . In 1978 he got disciplinary proceedings for taking a patient from the clinic to his old apartment and leaving it there.

In 1979, his transitional care project was officially launched as a pilot project and implemented as a separate department of the newly founded Board of Trustees for Psychosocial Services (PSD) under the direction of the internationally renowned psychiatrist Stephan Rudas , who Böhm was head of nursing from 1987 to the end of 1992. With the successful expansion of the PSD, Rudas and Böhm also gave the starting signal for a paradigm shift in psychiatric specialist care and for a comprehensive and decentralized psychiatric reform in Vienna, which was politically supported and promoted by City Councilor Alois Stacher.

In 1983 he developed the Austrian care model: “Reactivating Care according to Böhm”, which was recognized in 1985 by the World Congress for Geriatrics in New York.

In 1990 he founded the “Austrian Society for Geriatric and Psychogeriatric Specialized Nursing and Applied Nursing Research”, or AGPK for short, as a non-profit organization. Ms. Maria Riedl was appointed as the club's representative. While Böhm specialized in theory, Maria Riedl took over the practice.

In 2000 he founded Böhm-Negel GmbH in Germany together with Armin Negel.

In 1996, Böhm was appointed training officer of the Vienna Hospital Association (KAV) for transitional care and the "Psychobiographical Care Model according to Böhm" until his retirement in 2000. In May 2000 he was awarded the "LAZARUS honorary award for his life's work" at a specialist conference in the VAZ St. Pölten (Lower Austria), and with the resolution of the Federal President of May 4, 2000, the professional title Professor .

In 2002 Böhm left the AGPK to found the "European Network for Psychobiographical Nursing Research according to Erwin Böhm", based in Bochum .

Psychobiographical care model according to Böhm

Böhm's care model is very different from conventional care models. Böhm himself says that it is not a care model in the classic sense. Instead, his model lives "on its empirical values": "The model must also develop further, because the people, the zeitgeist, the traditions and customs are also evolving."

In his model, Böhm assumes that body, soul, spirit, social environment and personal history are constantly connected; they condition one another and act on one another. The people involved in the nursing process are not dealing with a "line of diseases", but, according to Böhm, "with people who live under the condition of an illness." The basic principle of the approach developed by Böhm is to give the client independence again, to reactivate him.

Normality principle

Böhm also coined the concept of the principle of normality. Böhm assumes that every person, shaped by their socialization, culture and experiences, develops a personal way of life from which their picture of normal behavior and action emerges:

  • how and what he eats
  • how he relates to others
  • what he's doing and how to do it
  • in which he sees the meaning of life
  • how he dresses

The normality principle according to Böhm assumes that people with dementia increasingly fall back on the norms and behavior from their earlier life.

Criticism of the model

One problem in day-to-day nursing is that with the Böhm model, all persons (doctor, departmental assistant, nursing assistant, temporary work) must be trained according to Böhm on a ward, which is difficult or impossible to implement in practice. In long-term care in particular, implementation is almost impossible due to cost reasons. However, the opposite is proven by the homes that are certified according to the Böhm ENPP seal (see ENPP website).

Copyright Infringement

In 2002, Böhm left the Austrian Society for Geriatric and Psychiatric Nursing and Applied Nursing Research, which led to disputes with the AGPK that continue. Two years earlier there were problems about a copyright dispute with the previous company Böhm-Negel GmbH. Here, text passages for the homepage were taken from a course script by Maria Riedl without Ms. Riedl's consent.
