ROGER`S SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS NURSING CONCEPTUAL MODEL Flashcards

1
Q

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.

Q

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.

Q

The 3 principles of Homeodynamics as proposed by Rogers

A

Resonancy
Helicy
Integrality

17
Q

should be understood as a dynamic version of HOMEOSTASIS (a relatively steady state of internal operation in the living system)

A

Homeodynamics

18
Q

Speaks to the nature of the change occurring between human & environmental fields that undergoes continuous dynamic metamorphosis in the human-environment process.
The life process of human beings is a symphony of rhythmical vibrations oscillating at various frequencies.
Is continuous change from lower to higher frequency wave patterns in human and environmental fields

A

RESONANCY

19
Q

Describes the unpredictable but continuous, nonlinear evolution of energy fields as evidenced by nonrepeating rhythmicities due to constant interchange between human & the environment
This change is also innovative; because of constant interchange, an open system is never exactly the same at any two moments; rather, the system is continually new or different
The life process evolves in sequential stages along a curve that has the same general shape
Is continuous innovative, unpredictable, increasing diversity of human & environmental field patterns

A

HELICY

20
Q

Is a continuous mutual human & environment field process
Change occurs by continuous repatterning of the of the human & environmental fields by resonance waves
The fields are one and integrated but unique to each other

A

INTEGRALITY

21
Q

Man is a unified whole possessing his own integrity & manifesting characteristics that are more than & different from the sum of his parts
Man & environment are continuously exchanging matter & energy with one another
The life process evolves irreversibly & unidirectional along the space-time continuum
Pattern & organization identify the man & reflect his innovative wholeness
Man is characterized by the capacity for abstraction and imagery, language & thought sensation & emotion

A

ASSUMPTIONS

Q

Limitation: model ____ particular hypotheses or theories for it is an abstract, unified & highly derived framework

A

does not define

23
Q

Limitation; Concepts validity

A

questionable

24
Q

Limitation: The theory was believed to be _______ because the concepts are extremely abstract

A

profound & was too ambitious

25
Q

limitation: Rogers claimed that nursing exists to serve people, however…

A

nurses roles are not clearly defined
