ROGER`S SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS NURSING CONCEPTUAL MODEL Flashcards
The theory views nursing as both as science and an art as it provides a way to view the unitary human being who is integral with the universe.
SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS (SUHB)
is defined as an irreducible, indivisible, multidimensional energy fields identified by a pattern & manifesting characteristics that are specific to the whole & & which cannot be predicted from knowledge of the parts.
person
is also a unified whole, having its own distinct characteristics that can
t be viewed by looking at, describing or summarizing the parts
person
expression of the life process.
Health
An irreducible, indivisible, pan dimensional energy field identified by pattern & integral with the human field.
ENVIRONMENT FIELD
The study of Unitary, irreducible, indivisible human & environmental fields: people & their world.
Nursing is a learned profession that is both a science & an art
Focus is the care of people & the life process of human beings
Its purpose is to identify & examine the phenomenon that is central to its concern, the unitary human being.
NURSING
The concept of nursing encompasses 2 dimensions
Independent Science of Nursing
Art of Nursing Practice
is the unified concept
Field
signifies the dynamic nature of the field; a field is in continuous motion & is infinite
Energy
Refers to qualities exhibited by open systems; human beings & their environment are the open systems
OPENNESS
The distinguishing characteristics of an energy field perceived as a single wave. Rogers call it “an abstraction” that gives identity to the field.
PATTERN
include “a person`s experiences, expressions, perceptions and physical, mental, social & spiritual data
Pattern manifestations
is the dynamic or active process of the life of the human being” that is “accessible to the senses
Patterning
A nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes; The parameters in language that humans use to describe events are arbitrary; The present is relative, there is no temporal ordering of lives
PANDIMENSIONAL
The unique behavior of hole systems, unpredicted by any behaviors of their component functions taken separately.
Human behavior
