Martha Rogers Flashcards
What did Martha Rogers developed?
SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS
She was one of the first to identify human beings as
the central phenomenon of interest to nursing.
Martha Rogers
(True or False) Rogers stated that humans are more than the sum of their parts and cannot be understood by only having knowledge
of their parts.
True
(True or False) Rogers stated that humans are more than the sum of their parts and cannot be understood by only having knowledge
of their parts.
True
Name the 4 building blocks that Rogers postulated for her model.
Energy Field
A universe of open systems
Pattern
Four dimensionality.
In 1983, why did Rogers changed her wording from that of unitary man to unitary human being?
To remove the concept of gender
This constitutes the fundamental unit
of both the living and the nonliving. This are also
infinite and pandimensional.
Energy field
(True or false) Only human can change continuously, creatively, and integrally.
False. Both human and environmental fields can change continuously, creatively, and integrally.
Two fields are identified in the energy field: the human field and the environmental field. What’s the difference?
The unitary human being (human
field) is defined as an irreducible, indivisible,
pandimensional energy field.
The environmental field is defined as an irreducible,
pandimensional energy field
This holds that energy fields are infinite, open, and
integral with one another.
Universe of Open Systems
This holds that energy fields are infinite, open, and
integral with one another.
Universe of Open Systems
(True or False) The human and environmental fields are in continuous process and are open systems.
True
This identifies energy fields. It is the distinguishing characteristic of an energy field and is perceived as a single wave.
Pattern
It is a nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes. “essentially a spaceless and timeless reality”
Pandimensionality
It best expresses the idea of a unitary whole.
Pandimensionality
