Humanistic Nursing Theory
|
Dr.
Josephine Paterson |
Dr.

Dr.
Susan Kleiman
PhD; RN; CS; NP
Assistant
Professor of Nursing Lehman College City University
of New York. Dr. Susan Kleiman is the
standard-bearer of Humanistic Nursing Theory as
formulated, articulated, and handed down by
Josephine Paterson and Loretta Zderad who have both
retired. Susan Kleiman has been handed the task of
mentoring their nursing theory. Many of Paterson's
and Zderad's unpublished papers and personal
interviews are in Susan Kleimans’ possession. She
offers meta-theoretical discussion and welcomes
questions about the many concepts of Humanistic
Nursing Theory, which is based on the idea that the
defining event in nursing is the interaction between
the patient and nurse (Paterson & Zderad, 1976).e |
Humanistic nursing practice theory
proposes phenomenology, a descriptive approach to
participants in the nursing situation as a method for
studying, interpreting, and attesting the nature and
meaning of the lived events...Words and conceptualized
ideas are the tools of phenomenology. Protection of
distinct persons and meaningful communications can be
augmented through the utilization of abstractions,
metaphors, analogies, and parables. So humanistic
nurses, as practitioners and researchers, are
inherently responsible for their manner of being,
responding, and consciously sculpturing knowledge into
words. (P & Z, p. 54)
