THEORY OF UNITARY HUMAN BEING
Provides a way to view the unitary human being,
who is integral to the universe. Nursing focuses
on people and the manifestations that emerge
from the mutual human-environmental field
process
THEORY OF UNITARY HUMAN BEING
4 MAJOR CONCEPTS of Unitary of Human Being
Energy Field
Pattern
Universe of Open System
Pandimensionality
- Human Field: persons, patients
- Environmental Field: external
- They are both in a process of continuous
mutual change. Integral to each other
Energy Field
- identifies energy field
Pattern
- Perception, behavior, knowledge, problem,
diseases
Pattern
- integral and infinite
Universe of Open System
- spaceless, timeless, limitless, nonlinear, infinite
Pandimensionality
*Universe of Open System and Pandimensionality are
constant (T OR F)
True
*both energy field and pattern can manipulate or change (T OR F)

THEORETICAL ASSERTIONS
Resonancy
Helicy
Reciprocy
Synchrony
the continuous change from lowerhigher frequency wave patterns in human and
environmental fields
Resonancy
continuous, innovative, unpredictable,
increasing diversity in human and environmental field
patterns
Helicy
continuous mutual interaction between
the human and environmental fields
Reciprocy
change in human field and
simultaneous state of environmental field at any given
point in space-time
Synchrony
irreducible, indivisible, pandimensional energy
field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics
that are specific to the whole.
Person (unitary human being)
– she uses the term passive health to symbolize
wellness and the absence of illness
Health (unitary human being)
– specific to its given human field.
Environment (unitary human being)
seeks to promote symphonic interaction
between human and environmental field. Should
strengthen the integrity of human field.
Nursing (unitary human being)
MUTUAL PATTERNING IN HUMAN FIELD
- Sharing of knowledge
-Offer choices or options - Empower your patient
- Evaluate your patient
*manipulate the environmental field by mutual patterning
