MARTHA ROGERS- SCIENCE IF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS

Question 1

WHEN WAS SHE BORN

Answer 1

May 12, 1914, Dallas, Texas, USA

Question 2

diploma

Answer 2

Diploma : Knoxville General Hospital School of Nursing(1936)
Graduation in Public Health Nursing : George Peabody College, 1937

Question 3

What are the 5 assumptions of THEORY OF UNITARY BEUNGS

Answer 3

1) Man is a unified whole possessing his own integrity and manifesting characteristics that are more than and different from the sum of his parts.
(2) Man and the environment are continuously exchanging matter and energy with one another.
(3) The life process evolves irreversibly and unidirectionally along the space-time continuum.
(4) Pattern and organization identify the man and reflect his innovative wholeness. And lastly,
(5) Man is characterized by the capacity for abstraction and imagery, language and thought sensation, and emotion.

Question 4

INVOLVES CARE OF THE UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS

Answer 4

nursing

Question 5

HUMAN BEINGS ARE CONCEPTUALIZED AS DYNAMIC, CONSTANTLY EVOLVING ENERGY FIELDS RATHER THAN AS HOMEOSTATIC BEINGS

Answer 5

human beings

Question 6

FOCUS ON PEOPLE AND THE MANIFESTTION THAT EMERGE FROM THE MUTUAL HUMAN/ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD PRICESS

Answer 6

nursing

Question 7

“Nursing is both science and an art. The uniqueness of nursing, like that any other science, lies in the phenomenon central to its focus. Nurse’s long-established concern with people and the world they live is a natural forerunner of an organized abstract system encompassing people and their environments. The irreducible nature of individuals from the sum of the parts. The integralness of the people and environment that coordinate with a multidimensional (pandimensional) universe of open system points to a new paradigm: the identity of nursing as a science. The purpose of nurses is to promote health and well being for all persons wherever they are. The art of nursing is the creative use of the science of nursing for human-betterment.”

Question 8

Expression of the life process. ILLNESS AND HEALTH ARE PART OF THE SAME CONTINUUM, AND THE EVENTS OCCURRING THROUGHOUT THE PATIENT’S LIFE SHOW HOW THE PATIENT IS ACHIEVING HIS /HER LIFE POTENTIAL.

Answer 8

Health

Question 9

4 majors concepts

Answer 9

ENERGY FIELD
OPENNES
PATTERN
PAN DIMENSIONALITY

Question 10

3 major principles
Homeodynamic Principles

Answer 10

Resonancy
Heirchy
Integrity

Question 11

It is inevitable part of life. Human and environment both have energy field which is open i.e. energy can freely flow between human and environment

The potential for process, movement and change
•Fundamental unit of both living and non living.
Provides a way to percieve people and their environment as irreducible whole
• The energy field continuously varies in intensity density and extent

Answer 11

ENERGY FIELD

Question 12

There is no boundary or barrier that can inhibit the flow of energy between human and environment which leads to the continuous movement or matter of’energy.

Answer 12

OPENNESS

Question 13

-DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ENERGY
FIELD PERCIEVED AS A SING WAVE.
-PATTERNING IS THE DYNAMIC/ACTIVE PROCESS OF THE LIFE OF THE HUMAN BEING THAT | ACCESIBLE TO SENSES
-PATTERN MANIFESTATION INCLUDE A PERSONS EXPERIENCES, EXPRESSIONS, PERCEPTIONS AND PHYSICAL, MENTAL, SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL DATA

Pattern is defined as the distinguishing characteristic of an energy field perceived as a single waves
• “pattern is an abstraction and it gives identity to the field”

Answer 13

PATTERN

Question 14

Pan dimensionality is defined as “non linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes”
• Human being are pan dimensional being and have more than three dimension.

Answer 14

Pandimensionality

Question 15

Death anxiety
Spirituality
Be a part of something larger

Answer 15

Existential dimension

Question 16

Psychological dimension

Answer 16

Focus stress anxiety stimulation work excitement job satisfaction frustration social support

Question 17

Comfort energy levels peacefulness relaxation overall well being

Answer 17

Body mind dimension

Question 18

Breathing pain

Answer 18

Physical dimension

Question 19

refers to the balance between the dvnamic life process and environment.

Answer 19

Homeodynamic principles

Question 20

Wave patterns are continuously changing in environmental and human energy fields.

Answer 20

Resonancy

Question 21

The nature of change is
unpredictable, continuous, and an innovative.

Answer 21

Helicy

Question 22

Energy fields of humans and environment are in a continuous mutual process.

Answer 22

Integrality

Question 23

A unitary human being is open systems which continuously interact with environment. A person cannot be viewed as parts, it should be
considered as a whole.

Answer 23

Unitary Human Being (person)

Question 24

It includes the entire energy field other than a person.
These energy fields are irreducible, not limited by space and time, identified by its pattern and organization.

Answer 24

Environment

Question 25

Expression of the life process. They are the characteristics and behavior emerging out of mutual, simultaneous interaction of human and environment fields.

Bad interaction or misplacing of energy leads to illness.

Answer 25

HEALTH

Question 26

2 dimensions – Independent science of nursing & Art of nursing practice
Nursing is a learned profession
Nursing is both science and art.
Purpose of nurses is to promote health and well-being for all persons and groups
Heath services should be community based

Answer 26

NURSING

Question 27

use of theory

Answer 27

Rogers’s theory can be a source of motivation for nurses facing burnout, allowing them to see the importance of their work in a greater scope. But it is also a model that can be applied to nurses themselves and which dictates that nurses are inherently linked in health to those around them. If the nurse is unhealthy, so too will be the patient.
