MARTHA ROGERS
born in 1914 in Dallas, Texas.
MARTHA ROGERS
*received her nursing diploma from the Knoxville General Hospital School of Nursing in 1936, then earned her Public Health Nursing degree from George Peabody College in Tennessee in 1937.
MARTHA ROGERS
died on March 13, 1994.
MARTHA ROGERS
worked as a professor at New York University’s School of Nursing
MARTHA ROGERS
Human being is considered as united whole
- WHOLENESS
A person and his environment are continuously exchanging matter and energy with each other
OPENNESS
The life process of a human being evolves irreversibly and unidirectionally along a space time continuum (from birth to death)
UNIDIRECTIONALITY
Pattern identifies individuals and reflects their innovate wholeness
PATTERN AND ORGANIZATION
Humans are the only organisms able to think, imagine, have language, and emotions
SENTENCE AND THOUGHT
Refers to the balance between the dynamic life process and environment. It should be understood as a dynamic version of homeostasis. These principles help to view human as unitary human being.
HOMODYNAMIC PRINCIPLES
is an arrangement for human and environment that undergo transformation. The constant change in flow from a lower to higher frequency.
- nurses might incorporate activities such as art and music to assist a patient who is ill in an attempt to help them adjust to change flow.
RESONANCE
is the nature of change is unpredictable, continuous and innovative. Any small change in any of the environmental fields causes a ripple effect, which creates larger changes in other fields
-as a nurse even the smallest of our actions can make a difference including the simplest of things such as spending time with our patient, and the way we speak to them.
HELICY
is the energy fields of human and environment in a continuous mutual process. Human and environmental energy fields that are mutually and continuously changing-we effect our environment and our environment effect us.
-as a nurse, we share a connectedness with our patient, and we share the mutual simultaneous experience. Person and environment become one field.
-meditation and humor work to produce a positive environment
INTEGRALITY
Defined person as
The life process of the unitary human being is one of wholeness and continuity as well as dynamic and creative change. Pan-dimensional energy field.
MARTHA ROGERS
Defined environment as
Defines as irreducible pan dimensional energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics different from those of parts.
There is an energy field that is to be considered, not just the person. The energy field provides a way to view different people and environment as pure entities. It is naturally scientific field as each individual influences the environment.
MARTHA ROGERS
Defined health as
Symbolize wellness and the absence of disease and major illness.
MARTHA ROGERS
Defined nursing as
Is both art and science and the nurse are a factor in healing environment. Science with the practice of nursing to care for and to improve the patient outcomes. It gives a nurse a theoretical structure to integrate patients in relationship with their environment.
MARTHA ROGERS
As the fundamental unit of the living and the non-living. Persons and the environment are energy fields. Human beings do not have an energy field, they are an energy field.
- ENERGY FIELD
There is no boundary or barrier that can inhibit the flow of energy between human and environment which leads to the continuous movement or matter of energy. A person and his environment are continuously exchanging with each other, so it refers to the qualities exhibited by open systems human beings in their environment
OPENNESS
Is the characteristic of an energy field that is seen as a single wave. It is an abstraction, and it gives identity to the field. It is continually changing and may manifest diseases, illness, feelings, or pain.
- PATTERN
Non-linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes, non-linear, transcends the traditional notions of time and space. The parameters that human use in language to describe events are arbitrary.
- PANDIMENSIONALITY
Self-care deficit
