Martha Rogers Flashcards
What is Martha Rogers’s science?
Science of Unitary Human Being
Four concepts:
- energy fields
- openness
- pattern
- pandimensional
Three principles of homeodynamic
- integrality
- resonancy
- helicy
Assumptions of Rogers:
Human being is considered as _______ which cannot be viewed as subparts
whole
Assumptions of Rogers:
The life process of human is _________ and ________
irreparable, one way
Assumptions of Rogers:
__________ and _________ are the continuous expression of the life process.
Health, illness
Assumptions of Rogers:
The energy ________ between individual and environment
flows freely
Assumptions of Rogers:
Human beings have the ability to _______ according to changes in environment.
adapt
Assumptions of Rogers:
________ possess the ability to think, imagine, sense, feel, and use language for expression
Human being
Assumptions of Rogers:
All human beings are viewed as an ___________
integral part of the universe
Assumptions of Rogers:
Human beings and the environment have _________
energy field
Assumptions of Rogers:
Nursing action is directed towards _________ and ________ energy fields.
patterning, maintaining
Inevitable part of life where both the human and environment has this and is open
Energy fields
No boundary or barrier that can inhibit the flow of energy between human and environment which leads to continuous movement or matter of energy
Openness
Distinguishing character of energy field
Pattern
Undeviating field which is not considered space or time, it is an infinite domain without boundary
Pandimensional
Balance between dynamic life process and environment, help view human as unitary human being
Homeodynamics
Energy fields are dynamic and constantly interact with human and environment
Principle of Integrality
In principle of integrality, ______ and _______ works to produce a positive environment
meditation, humor
rhythm, constant change in pattern of energy field from a lower to higher frequency
Principle of resonancy
In principle of resonancy, movement of energy can be made by ____________, _____________, ___________, ___________, and ___________
human touch, guided imagery activities, drawing, storytelling, other active use of imagination
Any minute change in the environment which leads to a ripple effect, results in a larger change in other field
Principle of helicacy
Unitary human being is open system which continuously interact with environment
Person
Entire energy field other than a person — irreducible, not limited by space and time, identified by pattern and organization
Environment
Not clearly defined but determined by interaction between energy fields
Health
Bad interaction/misplace energy leads to _____
illness
constantly maintains energy field which is conducive for patient
Nursing
Nursing is both _______ and _______
science, art
Application of SUBH
practice, education, research
Nursing action is always focused on unitary human being and change the energy field between human and environment
Clinical Practice
Nursing interventions include all _________ such as ___________, __________, ___________, _________
noninvasive actions
guided imaginary, humor, therapeutic touch, music
Emphasis should be given on the understanding of the patient and self, energy field and environment
Nursing Education
Training should lay more focus on teaching __________ such as ________, _________, _________, ___________
non-invasive modalities
therapeutic touch, meditation, humor, regular in-service education program
Rogerian theory has been used in many research works and has always been found testable and applicable
Nursing Research
Nursing process according to SUBH
- Pattern appraisal
- Mutual patterning
- Evaluation
inclusive assessment of human-env energy fields, organization, identification of areas of dissonance
Pattern appraisal
Pattern appraisal examples:
appraisal of nutrition, rest and sleep, exercises, discomfort, relation with others
interaction between client and nurse, can be done by suggesting various alternatives, educating, empowering
Mutual patterning
By repeating the pattern appraisal after the mutual patterning
Evaluation
