Beings
Introduction to Theory

5. Science of Unitary Human
Beings
She believed that Human being
and environment are ONE!
Introduction to Theory

6. Nursing Process according to
SUHB:

7. 1. Pattern Appraisal is a
comprehensive assessment of the
patient that incorporates
cognitive input, sensory input,
intuition, and language.
Also evaluates the
manifestation of the human
environment rhythms.
Nursing Process according to
SUHB:

8. Those rhythms are exchanging
(eating, elimination, breathing,
giving and receiving),
communication (verbal, non-verbal),
relating (spacing, touching, eye
contact, belonging, referencing).
Nurse validate the entire appraisal
along the patient.
Nursing Process according to
SUHB:

9. 2. Mutual Patterning is a proper
patterning of the energy field
between the human and environment.
It is a voluntary process between
patient and nurse where patient
naturally choose to participlate in
the awareness way of his/her well-
being.
Nursing Process according to
SUHB:

10. Nursing goal is to identify the
area of dissonant (pain,
discomfort, anxiety) and
implement the patterning
processes.
Patterning processes such as
awareness, choice, freedom, and
involvement are essential of the
Nursing Process according to
SUHB:

11. 3. Evaluation is ongoing and
encompassed a repetition of the
appraisal process.
-Helps to identify the
dissonance and harmony.
-It validates appraisal with
patient by identifying areas of
dissonance and harmony and by
including patterning activities.
Nursing Process according to
SUHB:

12. Assumptions
• Human being is considered as
united whole
wholeness
• A person and his environment
are continuously exchanging
energy with each other
openness
• The life process of human
being evolves irreversibly
and unidirectional i.e from
birth to death
Unidirectionality
• Pattern identifies
individuals and reflects
their innovative wholeness.
Pattern and
organization
• Humans are the only
organisms able to think,
imagine, have language and
emotions
Sentence and
thought

13. Major
Concepts
Energy field
Openness
Pattern
Pan-
dimensionality

14. Energy
field
• It is inevitable
part of life.
Human and
environment both
have energy
field which is
open i.e. energy
can freely flow
between human
and environment

15. Openness
• 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

16. Pattern
• Pattern is
defined as the
distinguishing
characteristic
of an energy
field perceived
as a single
waves
• "pattern is an
abstraction and
it gives
identity to the

17. Pan dimensionality
• Pan
dimensionality
is defined as
"non linear
domain without
spatial or
temporal
attributes"
• Human being are
pan dimensional
being and have
more than three

18. Homeodynamic principles
Three principle of homeodynamics
Resonancy Helicy integrality
These principles help to view human as unitary
human being.
Homeodynamics refers to the balance between the
dynamic life process and environment.

19. 1. Resonancy
• Wave patterns are continuously
changing in environmental and
human energy fields.
2. Helicy
• The nature of change is
unpredictable, continuous, and
an innovative.
3. Integrality
• Energy fields of humans and
environment are in a continuous
mutual process.

20. Roger’s theory and nursing
metaparadigm
Person
Environment
Health
Nursing

21. 1. Unitary Human Being (person)
• A unitary human being is open systems which
continuously interact with environment. A
person cannot be viewed as parts, it should
be considered as a whole.
2. Environment
• It includes the entire energy field other
than a person.
• These energy fields are irreducible, not
limited by space and time, identified by its
pattern and organization.

22. 3. Health
• Not clearly defined by Rogers. It is
determined by the interaction between
energy fields i.e. human and
environments.
• Bad interaction or misplacing of energy
leads to illness.
4. Nursing
• Nursing exists to serve people.
• Nursing is both science and art.
• It is the direct and overriding
responsibility to the society

23. Summary
and
Conclus
ion
Summary:
• The Science of Unitary Human Beings is highly
generalizable as the concepts and ideas are not
confined with a specific nursing approach unlike
the usual way of other nurse theorists in
defining the major concepts of a theory.
• Rogers gave much emphasis on how a nurse should
view the patient. She developed principles which
emphasizes that a nurse should view the client
as a whole.
• Her statements, in general, made us believe that
a person and his or her environment are integral
to each other. That is, a patient can’t be
separated from his or her environment when
addressing health and treatment.
