Overview

  • Metaperspective
  • Original work was named Man-Living-Health: A Theory of Nursing (1981).
  • When the term mankind was replaced with male gender in the dictionary definition of man, the name of the theory was changed to human becoming (Parse, 1992).

*

Totality vs Simultaneity Paradigms

  • The totality paradigm frameworks and theories are more closely aligned with the medical model tradition.
  • Nurses practicing according to this paradigm are concerned with participation of persons in health care decisions but have specific regimens and goals to bring about change for the people they serve (Parse, 1999b).
  • In contrast, the simultaneity paradigm views the human as unitary–indivisible, unpredictable, and ever-changing (Parse, 1987, 1998a, 2007b), wherein health is considered a value and a process.
  • The ontology leads research and practice scholars to focus on, for example, energy and environmental field patterns (Rogers, 1992).
  • Nurses focus on power in knowing participation (Barrett, 2010; Rogers, 1992).

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Third Paradigm

  • In 2012, Parse identified a third paradigm, the humanbecoming paradigm (Parse, 2012a, 2013a).
  • This was created in as much as the ontology, epistemology, and methodologies of the humanbecoming school of thought have moved on from the traditional metaparadigm conceptualization and beyond the totality and simultaneity paradigms (Parse, 2013a).

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Humanbecoming Paradigm

  • With the humanbecoming paradigm in the ontology, humanuniverse is an indivisible, unpredictable everchanging cocreation, and living quality is the becoming visible-invisible becoming of the emerging now.
  • Nurses living the humanbecoming paradigm beliefs hold that their primary concern is people’s perspectives of living quality with human dignity

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Fundamental Idea

  • Humans are indivisible, unpredictable, ever-changing
  • Precludes any use of terms such as physiological, biological, psychological, or spiritual to describe the human.
  • Other words often used to describe people, such as, noncompliant, dysfunctional, and manipulative are not consistent with humanbecoming
  • Humanbecoming and humanuniverse are presented as one word (Parse, 2007b).
  • Joining the words creates one concept and further confirms the idea of indivisibility.

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

The Ontology

  • The assumptions, postulates, and principles of the humanbecoming school of thought (Parse, 2007b).

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Principles

  • Humans construct personal realities with unique choosings arising with illimitable humanuniverse options
  • Rhythmical humanuniverse patterns of relating
  • Revealing–concealing, Enabling-limiting, Connecting–separating
  • Humans are ever-changing, that is, moving on with the possibilities of their intended hopes and dreams.
  • Powering, originating, transforming.

*

Humanbecoming Research Methodologies

  • Sciencing humanbecoming is coming to know
  • It is an ongoing inquiry to discover and understand the meaning of lived experiences
  • Three research methods
  • Two basic research methods

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

The Basic Research Methods

  • The Parse Method (Parse, 1987, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1997a, 1998a, 2001)
  • Studying lived experiences from participants’ descriptions
  • The Humanbecoming Hermeneutic Method (Cody, 1995; Parse, 1995, 1998a, 2001, 2005).
  • Studying lived experiences from written texts and art forms

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company


Humanbecoming: The Art

  • The Goal of the Nurse
  • Living the humanbecoming beliefs is true presence in bearing witness and being with others in their changing health patterns.

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

True Presence

  • Lived nurse with person, family, and community in illuminating meaning, synchronizing rhythms, and mobilizing transcendence (Parse, 1987, 1992, 1994a, 1995, 1997a, 1998a).
  • The nurse with individuals or groups is in true presence with the unfolding meanings as persons explicate, dwell with, and move on with changing patterns of diversity.

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

True Presence (continued)

  • “True presence is an intentional reflective love, an interpersonal art grounded in a strong knowledge base” (Parse, 1998a, p 71).
  • Distinct from authentic presence, transforming presence, presencing, and other terms in the literature
  • True presence is a powerful humanuniverse connection.
  • Lived in face-to-face discussions, silent immersions, and lingering presence

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Humanbecoming: The Art

  • Humanbecoming nurses live the art of the science of humanbecoming.
  • The term nursing practice is antithetical to the ontology.
  • Nurses come to persons in true presence with an availability to be with and bear witness, as persons illuminate the meaning of the situation, synchronize rhythms, and mobilize transcendence (Parse, 1981, 1987, 1998a, 2007b).

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Humanbecoming Nurses

  • Believe persons know their way and live their health situations according to their unique value priorities.
  • Ask what is most important for the moment
  • Explore meanings, wishes, intents, and desires related to the situation from the perspective of the recipients
  • Humanbecoming nurses are with persons in ways that honor their wishes and desires

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Research & Practice

  • The humanbecoming school of thought is a guide for research, practice, education, and administration in settings throughout the world.
  • Scholars from five continents have embraced the belief system and live humanbecoming in a variety of venues, including health care centers and university nursing programs

Unique Focus of Nursing

  • Rogers (1994a) identified the unique focus of nursing as “the irreducible human being and its environment, both identified as energy fields” (p 33).
  • “Human” encompasses both Homo sapiens and Homo spatialis, the evolutionary transcendence of humankind as we voyage into space, and environment encompasses outer space.
  • This perspective necessitates a new worldview, out of which emerges the Science of Unitary Human Beings, “a pandimensional view of people and their world” (Rogers, 1992/1994, p 257).

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company


Postulates of Rogerian Nursing Science

  • Energy fields
  • Openness
  • Pattern
  • Pandimensionality (formerly called both four-dimensionality and multidimensionality)

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Pattern and Field

  • Pattern manifestations and characteristics are specific to the whole.
  • Because human and environmental fields are integral with each other, they cannot be separated.
  • They are always in mutual process.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Pandimensional Fields

  • The fields are pandimensional, defined as “a non-linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes” (Rogers, 1992, p 28).
  • Pandimensional reality transcends traditional notions of space and time, which can be understood as perceived boundaries only.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Pattern

  • Rogers (1992, 1994a) described pattern as changing continuously while giving identity to each unique human-environmental field process.
  • Although pattern is an abstraction, not something that can be observed directly, “it reveals itself through its manifestations” (Rogers, 1992, p 29).

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Principles of Homeodynamics

  • Like adaptation, homeostasis—maintaining balance or equilibrium—is an outdated concept in the worldview represented in Rogerian nursing science.
  • Rogers chose “homeodynamics” to convey the dynamic, ever-changing nature of life and the world.
  • Her three principles of homeodynamics-resonancy, heliacy, and integrality-describe the nature of change in the human-environmental field.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Resonancy

  • Resonancy specifies the “continuous change from lower to higher frequency wave patterns in human and environmental fields” (Rogers, 1990a, p 9).
  • Resonancy presents the way change occurs.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Helicy

  • Helicy is the “continuous innovative, unpredictable, increasing diversity of human and environmental field patterns” (Rogers, 1990a, p 8).
  • This principle describes the nature of change.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Integrality

  • Integrality is “continuous mutual human field and environmental field process” (Rogers, 1990a, p 8).
  • It specifies the context of change as the integral human-environmental field process in which person and environment are inseparable.

Resonancy-Helicy-Integrality

  • Together, the principles suggest that the mutual patterning process of human and environmental fields changes continuously, innovatively, and unpredictably, flowing in lower and higher frequencies.
  • Rogers (1990a, p 9) believed that they serve as guides both to the practice of nursing and to research in the science of nursing.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Theories Derived from the SUHB

  • Rogers clearly stated her belief that multiple theories can be derived from the Science of Unitary Human Beings.
  • They are specific to nursing and reflect not what nurses do, but an understanding of people and our world (Rogers, 1992).

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Selected Rogerian Theories

  • In addition to the processes of the unitary pattern–based practice method, a number of Rogerian theories have been developed that are useful in informing the pattern manifestation knowing and appreciation and voluntary mutual patterning processes.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Theory of Accelerating Change

  • The theory of accelerating change suggests that the only “norm” is accelerating change.
  • Higher frequency field patterns that manifest growing diversity open the door to wider ranges of experiences and behaviors, calling into question the very idea of “norms” as guidelines.
  • Human and environmental field rhythms are speeding up.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Theory of Emergence of Paranormal Phenomena

  • The theory of the emergence of paranormal phenomena suggests that experiences commonly labeled “paranormal” are actually manifestations of the changing diversity and innovation of field patterning.
  • They are pandimensional forms of awareness, examples of pandimensional reality that manifest visionary, beyond waking potentials.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Manifestations of Field Patterning

  • Rogers’ third theory, Rhythmical Correlates of Change, was changed to Manifestations of Field Patterning in Unitary Human Beings.
  • Rogers suggested that evolution is an irreducible, nonlinear process characterized by increasing diversity of field patterning.
  • She offered some manifestations of this relative diversity, including the rhythms of motion, time experience, and sleeping-waking, encouraging others to suggest further examples.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

The Theory of Kaleidoscoping in Life’s Turbulence (Butcher, 1993)

  • Focuses on facilitating well-being and harmony amid turbulent life events. Turbulence is a dissonant commotion in the human–environmental field characterized by chaotic and unpredictable change. Any crisis may be viewed as a turbulent event in the life process.

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian Science: Practice

  • The goal of nursing practice is the promotion of well-being and human betterment.
  • Nursing is a service to people wherever they may reside.
  • Nursing practice—the art of nursing—is the creative application of substantive scientific knowledge developed through logical analysis, synthesis, and research.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian View: Nursing Process

  • Nursing diagnoses are particularistic and reductionistic labels describing cause and effect (i.e., “related to”) relationships inconsistent with “nonlinear domain without spatial and temporal attributes (Rogers, 1992, p 29).

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian View: Nursing Process

  • The nursing process is a stepwise sequential process inconsistent with a nonlinear or pandimensional view of reality.
  • In addition, the term “intervention” is not consistent with Rogerian science.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian View: Nursing Process

  • Outcomes are also inconsistent with Rogers’ principle of helicy: that expected outcomes infer predictability.
  • The principle of helicy describes the nature of change as being unpredictable.
  • Within an energy field perspective, nurses in mutual process assist clients in actualizing their field potentials by enhancing their ability to participate knowingly in change (Butcher, 1997).

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian View: Nursing Process

  • Given the inconsistency of the traditional nursing process with Rogers’ postulates and principles, the Science of Unitary Human Beings requires the development of new and innovative practice methods derived from and consistent with the conceptual system.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Barrett’s Rogerian Practice Method

  • Barrett’s two-phase Rogerian practice methodology for health patterning is the accepted alternative to the nursing process for Rogerian practice and is currently the most widely used Rogerian practice model.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Elizabeth Barrett’s Rogerian Practice Method

  • Barrett’s (1988) practice model was derived from the Science of Unitary Human Beings and consisted of two phases:
  • Pattern manifestation appraisal
  • Deliberative mutual patterning

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Richard Cowling’s Rogerian Practice Constituents

  • Cowling (1990) proposed a template comprising 10 constituents for the development of Rogerian practice models.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

The Unitary Pattern–Based Praxis Method

  • Butcher (1997, 1999a, 2001) synthesized Cowling’s Rogerian practice constituents with Barrett’s practice method to develop a more inclusive and comprehensive practice model.
  • The unitary pattern-based practice method consists of two nonlinear and simultaneous processes:
  • Pattern manifestation appreciation and knowing, and
  • Voluntary mutual patterning

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Unitary Pattern–Based Practice

Unitary pattern–based practice

  • begins by creating an atmosphere of openness and freedom so clients can freely participate in the process of knowing participation in change

Approaching the nursing situation with an appreciation of the uniqueness of each person, unconditional love, compassion, and empathy can help create an atmosphere of openness and healing patterning.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Unitary Pattern–Based Practice (continued)

  • A unitary perspective in nursing practice leads to an appreciation of new kinds of information that may not be considered within other conceptual approaches to nursing practice.
  • The nurse is open to using multiple forms of knowing including pandimensional modes of awareness (intuition, meditative insights, tacit knowing) throughout the pattern manifestation knowing and appreciation process.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Unitary Pattern–Based Practice (cont)

  • The pattern manifestation knowing and appreciation is enhanced through the nurse’s ability to grasp meaning, create a meaningful connection, and participate knowingly in the client’s change process (Butcher, 1999a).

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Unitary Pattern–Based Practice (cont)

Voluntary mutual patterning

  • process of transforming human/environmental field patterning.
  • facilitate each client’s ability to participate knowingly in change
  • harmonize person/environment integrality
  • promote healing potentialities, lifestyle changes, and well-being in the client’s desired direction of change without attachment to predetermined outcomes

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Unitary Pattern–Based Practice (cont)

  • The process is mutual in that both the nurse and the client are changed with each encounter, each patterning one another and co-evolving together.
  • Evaluation is continuous and is integral both to pattern manifestation knowing and appreciation and to voluntary mutual patterning.
  • The nurse is continuously evaluating changes in patterning emerging from the human/environmental field mutual process.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Science of Unitary Human Beings Research

  • Research is the bedrock of nursing practice.
  • As new practice theories and health patterning modalities evolve from the SUHB there remains a need to test the viability and usefulness of Rogerian theories and voluntary health patterning strategies

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Science of Unitary Human Beings Research

  • Some debate among Rogerian scholars and researchers concerning the choice of an appropriate methodology in Rogerian research.
  • Rogers (1994) maintained that both quantitative and qualitative methods may be useful for advancing Rogerian science.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Research

  • The nature of the question and the phenomena under investigation should guide the selection
  • Rogers cautioned that neither is totally adequate for the new worldview and encouraged the development of new methods.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Potential Rogerian Research Designs

  • Cowling (1986) was among the first to suggest a number of research designs that may be appropriate for Rogerian research, including philosophical, historical, and phenomenological ones.
  • Qualitative and/or phenomenological methodology has demonstrated increasing congruence with Roger’s SUHB; whereas, the assumptions of causality in quantitative methodology is a bit more problematic

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Selecting a Focus of Rogerian Inquiry

  • In selecting a focus of inquiry, concepts that are congruent with the Science of Unitary Human Beings are most relevant.
  • The focus of inquiry flows from the postulates, principles, and concepts relevant to the conceptual system.

Selecting a Focus of Rogerian Inquiry (continued)

  • Guided imagery
  • Therapeutic touch
  • Humor
  • Sound
  • Dialogue
  • Affirmations
  • Music
  • Massage
  • Journaling
  • Exercise
  • Nutrition
  • Reminiscence
  • Aroma, light, color, artwork
  • Meditation
  • Storytelling, literature, poetry,
  • Movement and dance

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Measuring of Rogerian Concepts

  • Human Field Motion Test (HFMT)
  • The Power of Knowing Participation in Change Tool (PKPCT)
  • Diversity of Human Field Pattern Scale (DHFPS)
  • Assessment of Dream Experience Scale
  • Temporal Experience Scale

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian Inquiry

  • Creativity, mystical experiences, transcendence, sleeping-beyond-waking experiences, time experience, and paranormal experiences as they relate to human health and well-being are also of interest in this science.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian Process of Inquiry

Carboni (1995b) developed the Unitary Process of Inquiry-

  • Evolution centered and focuses on changing configurations of human and environmental field patterning
  • Pandimensional Unitary Process Report-special criteria for trustworthiness to ensure scientific rigor

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian Process of Inquiry

Butcher (1994, 1996, 1998, & 2005) the Unitary Field Pattern Protrait Research Method (UFPP)

  • Create a unitary understanding of the dynamic kaleidoscopic and symphonic pattern manifestations emerging from the pandimensional human/environmental field mutual process
  • Part of the Unitary Pattern-based Praxis Method
  • There are eight essential aspects and three essential processes in the method.

UFPP (continued)

Essential Aspects

  • Initial engagement
  • A priori nursing science
  • Immersion
  • Manifestations of knowing and appreciation
  • The unitary field pattern profile
  • The unitary field pattern portrait
  • Theoretical unitary field pattern portrait

Essential Processes

  • Creative Pattern Synthesis
  • Immersion and Crystallization
  • Evolutionary Interpretation

*

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Rogerian Science in the Future

  • There is an ever-growing body of literature demonstrating the application of Rogerian science to practice and research.
  • Rogers’ nursing science is applicable in all nursing situations.
  • Rather than focusing on disease and cellular biological processes, the Science of Unitary Human Beings focuses on human beings as irreducible wholes that are inseparable from their environment.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Practice

  • Rogers identified noninvasive modalities as the basis for nursing practice now and in the future.
  • Nurses must use “nursing knowledge in non-invasive ways in a direct effort to promote well-being” (Rogers, 1994a, p 34).
  • This focus gives nurses a central role in health care rather than medical care.
  • Noted that health services should be community based, not hospital based.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company

Toward the Future

  • The Science of Unitary Human Beings reflects Rogers’ optimism and hope for the future.
  • Envisioned humankind poised “on the threshold of a fantastic and unimagined future” (Rogers, 1992, p 33), looking toward space while simultaneously engaging in a transformative Rogerian revolution in health care on Earth.
  • Goal: Establishment of autonomous Rogerian nursing centers here on Earth and ultimately in space.
