  2. WHY THE CONCEPTUAL MODEL - SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS (SUHB)? Rogers felt “there had to be a body of knowledge that was specific to and unique to nursing”. Her aim was to develop “a conceptual system that would give identity to nursing as a knowledgeable endeavor”.

  3. KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT IN NURSING WHILE SUHB WAS BEING DEVELOPED During the 1970’s, the decade Rogers introduced the theory of SUHB, major nurse theorists were coming together at nursing theory conferences, groups were growing, organizations were formed, and conferences were developed around the work of a particular theorist (p. 45).

  4. A NEW WORLDVIEW IS REQUIRED Totality Worldview Person is a holistic being with - biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual components. Person and environment influence each other. Health is “well-being or wholeness that results from the human- environment interaction” (Fulton & Lyon, 2010, p. 30). Simultaneity Worldview Moves away from a particulate view of man (Peterson, 2009, p. 12) Whole means unitary, one cannot be understood by looking at the parts, and humans cannot be separated from the universe (Wright, 2007, p. 64). Health is a social construct , “thus it has no inherent value in itself” (Fulton & Lyon, 2010, p. 30).

  5. HOW SIMULTANEITY UNDERPINS THE THE CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF SUHB cell therapy to field Theory entropic to negentropic universe 3-dimension to pandimensional person-environment as dichotomous to person-environment as integral causation and adaptation to mutual process dynamic equilibrium to innovative growing diversity homeostatsis to homeodynamics waking as a basic state to waking as an evolutionary emergent closed to open-systems

  6. 5 ASSUMPTIONS /THEORETICLAL ASSUMPTIONS SUPPORTING ROGERS MODEL • “Man is a unified whole possessing his own integrity and manifesting characteristics more than and different form the sum of his parts. • Man and environment are continuously exchanging matter and energy with one another (openness). • The life process evolves irreversible and unidirectionally along the space-time (helicy). • Pattern and organization identify man and reflect his innovative wholeness (pattern and organization). • Man is characterized by the capacity for abstraction and imagery, language and thought, sensation, and emotion (sentient, thinking being)” (p. 211).

  7. FOUR FUNDAMENTAL POSTULATES “The Science of Unitary Human beings is rooted in a 4 dimensional, negentropic, non-causal, open system model in which human and environment fields are irreducible and integral with one another." Martha Rogers These postulates are: 1. Energy Fields 2. Openness 3. Pattern 4. Pandimensionality

  8. POSTULATES DEFINED 1. Energy Fields - living and non-living dynamic, infinite and continuously moving 2. Openness - open universe, no boundaries other than perpetual ones 3. Pattern - changing continuously while giving identity to each unique human-environmental field 4. Pan dimensionality - non-linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes, non-linear,transcends the traditional notions of time and space

  9. THREE PRINCIPALS OF SUHB CONCEPTAL MODEL HOMEODYNAMICS - term Rogers chose to convey a dynamic, ever changing life and world. Principal’s of HOMEODYNAMICS:1. RESONANCY - constant fluctuations in frequency and patterns in human and environmental fields 2. HELICY - unpredictable and increasing diversity in field patterns describing the nature of change 3. INTEGRALITY - changing environmental and human fields where person and environment are inseparable

  10. THEORIES IDENTIFIED BY ROGERS • Theory of Accelerating Evolution: “the only norm is accelerating change” (p. 197). • Theory of the Emergence of Paranormal Phenomena: “experiences commonly labeled ‘paranormal’ are actually manifestations of the changing diversity and innovation of field patterning” (p. 198). • Theory of Manifestation of Field Patterning in Unitary Human Beings: evolution is an irreducible, nonlinear process characterized by increasing diversity of field patterning” (p. 198).

  11. SUHB A CONCEPTUAL MODEL AS RESEARCH STIMULUSBy definition must be capable of generating theory..

  12. MIDRANGE ROGERIAN PRACTICE THEORIES Barrett’s Theory of Power as Knowing - Participation in Change “capacity to participate knowingly in the nature of change characterizing the continuous patterning of the human and environmental fields as manifested by awareness, choices, freedom to act intentionally, and involvement in creating change” (p. 199). Bultemeier Theory of Perceived Dissonance “highlights areas of harmony and dissonance in pattern appraisal, then identify possible patterning activities” (p. 199). Floyd’s Theory of Interactive Rhythms Studied in 1983, 1984 Findings “were not directly identified as being potentially significant for nursing practice” (Rogerian Science, 2008).

  13. SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENTS THAT INFLUENCED DEVELOPMENT OF SUHB • Nonlinear dynamics of quantum physics • General System Theory (von Bertalanffy) • Theory of Relativity (Einstein) • Electrodynamics Theory (Burr and Northrop)

  14. NONLINEAR DYNAMICS OF QUANTUM PHYSICS • Dynamics - deals with change, with systems that evolve in time” (p. 2). • Regardless if the change reaches an equilibrium, repeats, or becomes more complicated it is through analysis of dynamics that we come to know.

  15. GENERAL SYSTEMS THEORY • Von Bertalanffy introduced theory in the 1950’s, affecting the development of knowledge in all disciplines. • Goal is: • to “understand man and his environment as part of interacting systems” (p. 3). • to “study this interaction from multiple perspectives, holistically” (p. 3). • “Inherent to this approach is a comprehensive historical, contemporary and futuristic outlook” (p. 3). • Promotes a culture wherein science, philosophy and religion are not longer separated from each other” (p. 4). • Negentrophy - term to indicate increasing order, complexity, and heterogencity in direct contrast with the common view that the universe was winding down. • Rogers modified this thinking “denying hierarchal subsystems, the concept of single causation, and predictability of a system’s behavior through investigation of its parts” (p. 208).

  16. ELECTRODYNAMIC THEORY RELATING TO ELECTICAL FIELDS

  17. THEORY OF RELATIVITY • Challenged the accepted theory of the time, absolutism (i.e. not relative, dependent, or changeable). • The “traditional meanings of homeostasis's, steady state, adaptation, and equilibrium were seriously questioned” (p. 210). • “The closed system, entropic model of the universe was no longer adequate to explain phenomena, and evidence continued to accumulate in support of a universe of open systems” (p. 210).

  18. ECONOMY & POLITICAL INFLUENCES The 1970’s continued to see the rapid and radical social changes of the late 1960s. The Vietnam war, economic “stagflation,” energy crisis, Watergate scandal, and the Iranian capture of U.S. hostages dominated national headlines. Women and minorities were demanding and gaining in legal equality. U.S. Supreme court overturned all state laws limiting a women's right to an abortion in the first trimester. First Earth Day spurring environmental activism. Three Mile Island accident leading to antinuclear power demonstrations.

  19. HEALTH MOVEMENT American Heart Association (AHA) President Mark Berke was among health care leaders predicting the country would have a national health insurance program by the mid-1970s The AHA endorsed a sweeping statement on making communities healthier. It held members accountable for all health care needs in their communities and promoted the role of hospitals in disease prevention, health maintenance and consumer involvement. Nursing survival depends on being able to make a difference in promoting the health of people. Theories to help nurses conceptualize health in a new way to improve human well-being were needed. Nurses should become experts in noninvasive modalities to promote health. Nursing is both a science and art. The uniqueness of nursing, like that of any other science, lies in the phenomenon central to its focus (Rogers). Nurses long established concern with the people and the world they live is in a natural forerunner of an organized abstract system encompassing people and the environments (Rogers).

  20. SOCIAL CULTURAL FACTORS

  21. EFFECTIVENESS OF ROGERS IN EXPANDING HER BODY OF KNOWLEDGE Her conceptual model is responsible for numerous grand theories, mid range theories, and instruments while continuing to spawn further research. Society of Rogerian Scholars Visions: The Journal of Rogerian Nursing Science She identified many ideas for further research using her conceptual model.
