ask why not? The creation of it has been long and arduous, but with many moments of joy.
INTRODUCTION
The theory was based on Dr. Parses lived experience in nursing and its poor fit with the existing paradigms. The theory focuses on the HumanUniverse- Health Process and is based on the premise that the human being pursues and creates his own process of being with the world. The uniqueness of the theory is its perspective on paradoxes of human becoming. The theory emphasizes the relationship between human and with paradoxical rhythmical patterns. The human becoming theory posits quality of life from person's own perspective as the goal of nursing practice.
ASSUMPTIONS
RHYTHMICITY
Human Becoming is co creating rhythmical patterns of relating in mutual process with the universe.
TRANSCENDENCE
PRINCIPLES
STRUCTURING MEANING multidimensionally is cocreating reality through the languaging of valuing and imaging.
CONCEPTS
Languaging
Valuing
Imaging
COCREATING RHYTHMICAL PATTERNS of relating is living the paradoxical unity of revealing-concealing and enabling-limiting while connecting-separating.
COTRANSCENDING with the possible is powering unique ways of originating in the process of transforming.
Powering Originating
Transforming
Structuring Meaning
This principle suggest that that the way people see the world, their imaging of it , is their reality, and they create this with others, and they show or language their reality in the ways they speak and remain silent and in the ways they move and stay still.
Languaging
Is the concept that relates to how human
beings symbolize and express their imaged realities and their value priorities. Example: A man diagnosed with terminal cancer finds the strength to talk with his wife about his fears and concerns
Valuing
This concept is the confirmingnot confirming of cherished beliefs in light of the person worldview.
Imaging
Is a personal interpretation of
meaning, possibility, and consequence Example: An infertile couple believes there are many children who are in need of loving homes and plan to adopt.
This principles means that human beings create patterns in day-to-day life and these patterns tell about personal meanings and values.
Revealing-concealing
Is disclosing-not
disclosing all-at-once
Enabling-limiting
Represents the freedoms and
opportunities that surface with the restrictions and obstacles of everyday living.
Connecting-Separating
Relates to the ways persons create
patterns of connecting and separating with people and projects.
COTRANSCENDING
The meaning of this principle is that persons are always engaging with and choosing from infinite possibilities about how to be, what attitude or approach to have, who to relate with , what interest or concerns to be bothered with.
Powering
Is a concept that conveys meaning about
struggle and life and the will to go on despite hardship and threat.
Originating
Is a concept about human uniqueness and
holds two paradoxes:
conforming-not conforming
certainty-uncertainty
Example: A woman campaigns to raise money for breast cancer in honor of her grandmother
Transforming
Is about change and the shifting views that people
have about their lives.
THEORETICAL MODEL
Parse, R.R. (1981(. Man-living-health: A theory of nursing (P. 69). New York, NY: John Wiley & Sons
MAN
Multi-faceted, decisive entity, autonomous Perception = their reality Patterns in a persons life demonstrate personal meanings and preferences, and involve engagements and disengagements. Complexity increases with time
Structuring meaning, co creating rhythmical patterns of relating, and ENVIRONMENT co transcending Personal process only known by the self
HEALTH
a universe; perceived by the person physical environment = persons decisions perceived environment = understanding of the physical environment a service to human kind practiced in relationships with individuals, groups, and communities in their process of becoming emphasis: present when a client discovers personal meanings
NURSING
IMPLICATIONS
NURSING PRACTICE
A transformative approach to all levels of nursing Differs from the traditional nursing process, particularly in
that it does not seek to fix problems
RESEARCH
Enhances understanding of human lived experience, health, quality of life and quality of nursing practice
Expands the theory of human becoming Builds new nursing knowledge about
universal lived experiences which may ultimately contribute to health and quality of life
EDUCATION
Provide knowledge to the learner on how to
become human in term of living into reality.
THEORY UTILIZATION
Theoretical Framework
Parses research methodology is developed on the principles of the Theory of Human Becoming. The Parse methodology is generically phenomenological in that entities for study are experiences as described by people who have lived them. These entities in the Parse method are to be universal lived experiences of health such as grieving, feeling, restricted-feeling free, and suffering. The participants are persons who can describe through words, symbols, metaphors, poetry, or drawings the meaning of the experience under study
The Theory of Human Becoming is designed to guide research and practice. Three theoretical structures are identified:
1) powering emerges with the revealing-concealing of imaging, 2) originating emerges with the enabling-limiting of valuing, and 3) transforming emerges with the languaging of the connectingseparating .
With the first theoretical structure, Parse describes the process where the nurse family relationship enables the family to share their thoughts and feelings about the situation they are experiencing. This in turn reveals and conceals what they know about the struggle with their personal goals. When the significance of the situation is revealed then the meaning of the situation also changes for the family.
The second theoretical structure is the nursing practice focus with the person or family that identifies ways of being alike and different from others in changing values. By combining rhythms, transcendence is achieved and the participants discover ways to be together and the choices result, according to Parse, in transcendence.
The third theoretical structure allows for the illumination of relating ways for the nurse and the person or family to be together as different perspectives shed light on the familiar perspective but also identify new possibilities. Parse suggests that by relating the values to the nurse through speech and movement the person or familys views change and by mobilized transcendence the ways of relating change.
RESULTS
Caregivers demonstrated forging aheadholding back, living with conformity by addressing their childrens lead poisoning but nonconformity by going around the system to protect their children.
