Martha E. Rogers
The theory views nursing as both science and an art as it provides a way to view the unitary human being who is integral with the universe.
The Science of Unitary Human Beings ( Martha E. Rogers)
The unitary human being and his or her environment are one. Nursing focuses on people and the manifestation that emerge from mutual human environmental field process
The Science of Unitary Human Beings (Martha E. Rogers)
Which is the knowledge specific to the field of nursing that comes from scientific research.
Science in Nursing
Which invloves using the science of nursing creatively to help better the lives of the patient
Art of Nursing
Assumptions that Human being is considered as united whole
Wholeness
Assumptions that a person and his environment are continuously exchanging energy with each other
Openness
Assumptions that the life process of human being evolves irreversibly and unidirectional i.e from birth to death
Unidirectionality
Assumptions that pattern identifies individuals and reflects their innovative wholeness
Pattern and organization
Assumptions that humans are the only organisms able to think, imagine, have language and emotions
Sentence and thought
What are the major concepts
Energy field
Pandimensionality
Openness
Pattern
Should be understood as a dynamic version of homeostasis ( a relatively steady of internal operation in the living system)
Homeodynamics
Postulate a way of viewing unitary human beings
Homeodynamics Principles
What are the 3 principles of homeodynamics?
Resonance, Helicy, and Integrality
It speaks to the nature of the change occuring between human and environmental fields. The life process in human beings is a symphony of rhythmical vibrations oscillating at various frequencies.
Principle of Resonancy
Identifies the human field and the environmental field by wave patterns manifesting continuous change from longer waves of a lower frequency to shorter waves of a higher frequency
Principle of Resonancy
The human environment field is dynamic, open system in which change is continuous due to the constant interchange between the human and the environment
Principle of Helicy
This change is also innovative. Because of constant interchange, an open system is never the same at any two moments ratger it is continually new or different
Principle of Helicy
Because of the inseparability of the human beings and their environment, sequential changes in the life processes are continuous revisions occuring from the interactions between hujan beings and their environment.
Principle of Integrality ( Synchrony + Reciprocity)
