The nursing metaparadigm framework, which includes person, environment, health, and nursing, is effectively reflected in the theory you have proposed regarding individuals facing challenges with mobility, transportation, and living in underserved communities. The personmetaparadigm is represented by individuals in these underserved areas who are significantly impacted by barriers to healthcare access due to mobility and transportation issues. These challenges directly affect their ability to manage their health effectively. The environmentmetaparadigm highlights how external factors, such as the lack of healthcare infrastructure in underserved communities, contribute to these difficulties. The healthmetaparadigm focuses on the theory's goal of improving access to healthcare, enabling individuals better to manage their health and well-being despite environmental challenges (Sadeghvaziri et al., 2024). Finally, the nursingmetaparadigm underscores the critical role of nurses in addressing these issues. Nurses can advocate for improved healthcare access, educate patients, and work on preventive measures to reduce health disparities. By focusing on social determinants of health, nursing can be instrumental in improving outcomes and supporting underserved populations. This theory provides an insightful perspective on how nursing can address broader societal health issues and work toward reducing health inequities (Sadeghvaziri et al., 2024).ReferenceSadeghvaziri, E., Javid, R., & Jeihani, M.
