The Human Becoming Theory was developed by Rosemarie Rizzo Parse as a nursing theory to guide practice with a focus on quality of life from the patient's perspective. The theory posits that nursing aims to help patients transcend limits and emerge through rhythmic co-creation between the person and their environment. It was influenced by European philosophers and the Science of Unitary Human Beings. The theory is structured around the themes of meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence.
Newman’s theory of health as expanding consciousnessحسين منصور
The theory of health as expanding consciousness stimulated by concern for those for whom health as the absence of disease or disability is not possible, (Newman, 2010).
The theory has progressed to include the health of all persons regardless of the presence or absence of disease, (Newman, 2010).
The theory asserts that every person in every situation, no matter how disordered and hopeless it may seem, is part of the universal process of expanding consciousness, (Newman, 2010).

Running Head: PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF NURSING
PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF NURSING
Personal Philosophy of Nursing
Personal Philosophy of Nursing
Keeping in mind the end goal to compose a philosophy of nursing, I trust that initial one must choose what philosophy intends to nurse practitioners. I think Meehan, (2012) expressed it best when she stated that philosophy is an approach toward life and realism that advances from every nurse practitioner convictions. This explanation gives me the opportunity to apply my own convictions. I don't need to acknowledge what another person has chosen. Scientists have been debating for quite a long time whether nursing is an art or a science. For what reason would it be able to not be both? I trust that to be a successful nurse practitioner someone must have the capacity to give the "art" of caring, and have the ambition to proceed to achieve and use the knowledge of "science" all through nursing profession. According to Jasmine (2009), nursing can be recognized as both science and art, in which caring formulates the nursing’s theoretical framework. Nursing and caring are based on a relational unity, understanding, and association between the patient and professional nursing. This idea is also echoed by Rose and Whitman (2003) in their article Using Art to Express a Personal Philosophy of Nursing. Whitman and Rose (2003) argue that one approach of isolating the influential and sensitive parts of nursing is to manage caring as the art of nursing. Without caring, the nurses and nurse practitioners can't unite with the patient. On the off chance that the practitioner can't unite, confidence won't develop. Without this faith in connection, helpful nursing won't occur. In this manner caring is at the focal point of all-effective nursing experiences. This isn't to make light of the worth of science. A proficient medical practitioner must have the capacity to utilize technical means accessible. The nursing practitioner ought to know about the life structures and physiology of the human body, pathology and recent rules for pharmacological treatment. This is a consistently changing body on learning. Science likewise incorporates the ability required to perform specialized undertakings. Nurse Educator model clarifies the science behind proficiency achievement. As medical practitioners we are all on a field to accomplish "expertise" in to each of the seven domains of skills.
As a nurse, I should first consider the idea of individuals. A man is substantially more than a person made through genomic technology and environmental impacts. They are considerably more prominent than the whole of his or her parts. They are a portion of the family, philosophy and society. I trust that adopting a patient focused strategy enables all people to be tended to, regarded and urged to achieve their maximum capacity. It is fundamental that the nurse practitioner perceive culture assorted range and racial variations, endeavoring to tre ...
1. Human Becoming Theory
Rosemarie Rizzo Parse
This page was last updated on October 27, 2011
INTRODUCTION
The Parse theory of human becoming guides nurses
In their practice to focus on quality of life as it is
described and lived (Karen & Melnechenko, 1995).
The human becoming theory of nursing presents an
alternative to both the conventional bio-medical
approach and the bio-psycho-social-spiritual (but still
normative) approach of most other theories of
nursing.(ICPS)
The human becoming theory posits quality of life
from each person's own perspective as the goal of
nursing practice.(ICPS)
Rosemarie Rizzo Parse first published the theory in
1981 as the "Man-living-health" theory (ICPS)
The name was officially changed to "the human
becoming theory" in 1992 to remove the term "man,"
after the change in the dictionary definition of the
word from its former meaning of "humankind."

in 1981
Name changed to Theory of Human Becoming in
1992
Editor and Founder, Nursing Science Quarterly

THEORY DEVELOPMENT
The human becoming theory was developed as a
human science nursing theory in the tradition of
Dilthey, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and
Gadamer and Science of Unitary Human Beings by
Martha Rogers .
The assumptions underpinning the theory were
synthesized from works by the European
2. philosophers, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty,
along with works by the pioneer American nurse
theorist, Martha Rogers.
The theory is structured around three abiding themes:
meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence.
ASSUMPTIONS
About man
The human is coexisting while coconstituting
rhythmical patterns with the universe.
The human is open, freely choosing meaning in
situation, bearing responsibility for decisions.
The human is unitary, continuously coconstituting
patterns of relating.
The human is transcending multidimensionally with
the possibles
About Becoming
Becoming is unitary human-living-health.
Becoming is a rhythmically coconstituting humanuniverse process.
Becoming is the human’s patterns of relating value
priorities.
Becoming is an intersubjective process of
transcending with the possibles.
Becoming is unitary human’s emerging
Three Major Assumptions of Human Becoming
Meaning
o Human Becoming is freely choosing personal
meaning in situations in the intersubjective
process of living value priorities.
o Man’s reality is given meaning through lived
experiences
o Man and environment cocreate
Rhythmicity
o Human Becoming is cocreating rhythmical
patterns of relating in mutual process with the
universe.
o Man and environment cocreate ( imaging,
valuing, languaging) in rhythmical patterns
Transcendence
3. o
o
o
Human Becoming is cotranscending
multidimensionally with emerging possibles.
Refers to reaching out and beyond the limits
that a person sets
One constantly transforms
SUMMARY OF THE THEORY
Human Becoming Theory includes Totality
Paradigm
o Man is a combination of biological,
psychological, sociological and spiritual
factors
Simultaneity Paradigm
o Man is a unitary being in continuous, mutual
interaction with environment
Originally Man-Living-Health Theory
NURSING PARADIGMS AND PARSE'S THEORY
Person
o
Open being who is more than and different
from the sum of the parts
Environment
o Everything in the person and his experiences
o Inseparable, complimentary to and evolving
with
Health
o Open process of being and becoming.
Involves synthesis of values
Nursing
o A human science and art that uses an abstract
body of knowledge to serve people
SYMBOL OF HUMAN BECOMING THEORY
Black and white = opposite paradox significant to
ontology of human becoming and green is hope
Center joined =co created mutual human universe
process at the ontological level & nurse-person
4. process
Green and black swirls intertwining = humanuniverse co creation as an ongoing process of
becoming
STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES
Strengths
Differentiates nursing from other disciplines
Practice - Provides guidelines of care and useful
administration
Useful in Education
Provides research methodologies
Provides framework to guide inquiry of other
theories (grief, hope, laughter, etc.)
Weaknesses
Research considered to be in a “closed circle”
Rarely quantifiable results - Difficult to compare to
other research studies, no control group, standardized
questions, etc.
Does not utilized the nursing process/diagnoses
Negates the idea that each person engages in a
unique lived experience
Not accessible to the novice nurse
Not applicable to acute, emergent care
APPLICATION OF THE THEORY
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
Ability to see patients perspective allows nurse to “be
with” patient and guide them toward desired health
outcomes
Nurse-person relationship cocreates changing health
patterns
Research
Enhances understanding of human lived experience,
health, quality of life and quality of nursing practice
5. Expands the theory of human becoming
Builds new nursing knowledge about universal lived
experiences which may ultimately contribute to
health and quality of life
CRITIQUE
Congruence with personal values
o Nurse must subscribe to this world view to
truly use it
Congruence with other professional values
o Complements and competes with other health
care professionals’ values
o Exoteric foundations
o Esoteric utility
Congruence with social values
o Fulfills society’s expectations of nursing role
Social Significance
o Makes a substantial difference in the lives of
clients and nurses
