1. MARTHA ROGERS INNOVATED VIEW & HOLISTIC IMPLICATIONS SHIRLEY ECKES BSN, RN, CCRN MARIA PEREZ BSN, RNC-OB

2. WHY THE THEORY - SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS (SUHB)?  Rogers felt “there had to be a body of knowledge that was specific to and unique to nursing”.  Rogers aim was to develop “a conceptual system that would give identity to nursing as a knowledgeable endeavor”.

3. KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT IN NURSING WHILE SUHB WAS BEING DEVELOPED During the 1970’s, the decade Rogers introduced the SUHB, major nurse theorists came together at nursing theory Conferences, groups were growing, organizations were formed, and conferences were developed around the work of a particular theorist (p. 45).

4. A NEW WORLDVIEW IS REQUIRED  Simultaneity Worldview  Moves away from a particulate view of man (Peterson, 2009, p. 12)  Whole means unitary, one cannot be understood by looking at the parts, and humans cannot be separated from the universe (Wright, 20047, p. 64).  Rogers, Watson, Parse, and Newman  Holistic, humanistic, client focused, grounded in the notion of caring as the core of nursing.  Totality Worldview

5. HOW SIMULTANEITY UNDERPINS THE THEORY OF SUHB

6. FOUR FUNDAMENTAL POSTULATES “The Science of Unitary Human beings is rooted in a 4 dimensional, negentropic, non-causal, open system model in which human and environment fields are irreducible and integral with one another." Martha Rogers These components became: 1. Energy Fields 2. Openness 3. Pattern 4. Pandimensionality

7. POSTULATES DEFINED 1. Energy Fields - living and non-living dynamic, infinite and continuously moving 2. Openness - open universe, no boundaries other than perpetual ones 3. Pattern - changing continuously while giving identity to each unique human-environmental field 4. Pan dimensionality - non-linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes non-linear transcends the traditional notions of time and space

8. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF THE THEORY OF SUHB HOMEODYNAMICS - term Rogers chose to convey a dynamic, ever changing life and world. Principal later is described with labels of: 1. RESONANCY - constant fluctuations in frequency 2. HELICY - unpredictable and increasing diversity in field patterns describing the nature of change 3. INTEGRALITY - changing environmental and human fields where person and environment are inseparable

9. Theory of Emergence of Paranormal Phenomena  The world (environment) is every changing a different speeds than humans can adapt to, due to living longer  Aging is a continuous and creative process of growing diversity of field patterns  Aging becomes a potential for growth, wisdom, accomplishments, involvement through experiences  Roger (2010) “asserts that within the Science of Unitary Human Beings, psychic phenomena becomes “normal” rather than “paranormal” (p. 258).  Through a deep interconnectedness the evolution, physics, cosmology, consciousness, paranormal phenomena, healing and prayer surpass mere quantum effects and provide understanding of the paranormal by a non-linear domain Parker & Smith (2010)

10. MIDRANGE ROGERIAN PRACTICE THEORIES  Theory of Power as Knowing - Participation in Change  Theory of Perceived Dissonance  Theory of Kaleidoscoping in Life’s Turbulence  Enfolding Health-as-Wholeness-and- Harmony  Personalized Nursing LIGHT Practice Model

11. Theory of Power as Knowing Participation in Change  Is the principle of choices, freedom to act intentionally, interweaves awareness of the surroundings and involvement in creating change  Power is dynamic and ever changing, it has the influence to change or prevent change. It helps the client identify the need for change and the direction of change they desire  Voluntary mutual patterning includes meaningful dialogue, journaling, movement, dancing, imagery, humor and therapeutic touch.  Theory of Power as Knowing Participation in Change Is the principle of choices, freedom to act intentionally, interweaves awareness of the surroundings and involvement in creating change. Power is dynamic and ever changing, it has the influence to change or prevent change. It helps the client identify the need for change and the direction of change they desire. Voluntary mutual patterning includes meaningful dialogue, journaling, movement, dancing, imagery, humor and therapeutic touch.

12. Theory of perceived dissonance

13. Theory of Kaliedoscoping in Life's Turbulence  Kaliedoscoping is a mutual process of engaging with a client who is having a turbulent life event. Turbulent life events are chaotic in nature and unpredictable and leads to transformation. Examples illness, divorce, loss of loved one and medical uncertainty. ; It cultivates purpose involves assisting the client identify and reach their goals through a defined action plan or series of strategies devised to promote harmony and facilitate actualization of well-being.

14. Enfolding Health-as- Wholeness-and-Harmony

15. Personalized Nursing LIGHT Practice Model

16. Theory of Emergence of Paranormal Phenomena  Verify this is one. I do not see it in my book

17. HEALTH MOVEMENT  Nursing survival depends on being able to make a difference in promoting the health of people  Science of Unitary Human Beings help the nurses conceptualize health in a new way to improve human well-being  Nurses should become experts in noninvasive modalities to promote health

18. ECONOMY & POLITICAL INFLUENCES

19. SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENTS THAT INFLUENCED

20. SOCIAL CULTURAL FACTORS

21. PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW  “Nursing science to creatively develop innovative new modalities and research approach that would promote the betterment of humankind” Parker & Smith (2010)

22. BASIC ASSUMPTION OF THE THEORY  Human beings and environmental are conceptualized as irreducible-fields, open with the environment  Universe open system  Energy fields are continuously open  Infinite  Integral with one another  Change is predictable or probabilistic (PROBABILISTIC WAS CHANGED TO UNPREDICTABLE, WRIGHT ARTICLE P. 65)  Yields to change is diverse, creative, innovative and unpredictable

23. UNITARY-TRANSFORMATIVE PARADIGM

24. EFFECTIVENESS ON NURSING  Transformative practice  Develop autonomy  Community-based nursing centers  Inclusive and reflective  Changing in relationship to environment  Open to unfolding patterns and  Pandimensional experiences  Everything is integrated and changing

25. Theories derived from SUHB  The perspective rhythm model (Patrick 1983)  Theory of health as expanding consciousness (Neuman 1986)  Theory of creativity, actualizaton and empathy (Alligood 1991)  Theory of transcendence (Reed 1997)  Power as knowing participation in change (Barrett 1998)
