In her latest book the renowned nursing scholar Rosemarie Rizzo Parse revisits the concepts first presented in her seminal work Man-Living Health: A Theory of Nursing and prepares the groundwork for further exploration as we enter the twenty-first century. Developing from philosophical foundations laid down by Martha Rogers and the existential phenomenologists, Parse's theory of human becoming has evolved into a school of thought, enabling nurses and nursing scholars to understand people and their universe in a unique way, thus providing (...) a human science context for nursing research and practice.

Concisely, humanistic nursing practice theory proposes that nursesconsciously and deliberately approach nursing as an existentialexperience. Then, they reflect on the experience and phenomenologicallydescribe the calls they receive, their responses, and what they come toknow from their presence in the nursing situation. It is believed thatcompilation and complementary syntheses of these phenomenologicaldescriptions over time will build and make explicit a science ofnursing.Notice: This Book is published by Historical Books Limited (www.publicdomain.org.uk) as a Public Domain Book, if you have any inquiries, requests (...) or need any help you can just send an email to [email protected] This book is found as a public domain and free book based on various online catalogs, if you think there are any problems regard copyright issues please contact us immediately via [email protected].

Vorgestellt wird eine alternative Pflegetheorie basierend auf den Humanwissenschaften. Der Mensch wird darin als Teilhabender in der Pflegesituation verstanden. Hervorgehoben wird die Interaktion im Pflegeprozess zwischen dem Mensch, seinem Umfeld und seiner Gesundheit. Diskutiert werden die Auswirkungen, die diese Sichtweise auf die praktische Anwendung in der Pflege, auf die Pflegewissenschaft und auf die Ausbilung haben.

The goal of this book is to provide the reader with the research findings from international qualitative human science studies on hope conducted in nine countries including Australia, Canada, Finland, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Taiwan, The United Kingdom, And The United States. The findings from these qualitative research studies enhance the knowledge base on the phenomenon of hope, shed new light on its meaning, and expand understanding of human becoming theory.

The influence of liberal political ideology on nursing sciencePrevious notions of science as impartial and value-neutral have been refuted by contemporary views of science as influenced by social, political and ideological values. By locating nursing science in the dominant political ideology of liberalism, the author examines how nursing knowledge is influenced by liberal philosophical assumptions. The central tenets of liberal political philosophy — individualism, egalitarianism, freedom, tolerance, neutrality, and a free-market economy — are primarily manifested in relation to: (i) the (...) individualistic focus of our science; (ii) our view of society as essentially egalitarian and equitable; (iii) our preference for politically neutral knowledge development, and (iv) an economy of knowledge development that supports rather than challenges the status quo. I argue that exposing, rather than ignoring, the liberal ideological values inherent in nursing science will render these assumptions open to debate, stimulate ongoing development of critically oriented knowledge, and increase our capacity to influence the social, political and economic determinants of health.
