Science of Unitary Human Beings
|
Dr.
Martha E. Rogers
1914 - 1994
|
The Science of Unitary
Human Beings provides a radical vision of nursing
reality. It provides a framework for nursing practice,
education and research that promises a move away from
the previously predominant medical model approach to
the delivery of nursing care. The framework provides
an alternative to the traditional view of nursing
which could be described as reductionistic,
mechanistic and analytic. It has been said that it has
"guided nursing out of a concrete, static, closed
system world view" (Smith, 1989) and as a result has
started to challenged many preconceived ideas about
nursing. Indeed, when the theoretical framework was
first published, it was "in clear contradiction to all
the nursing theories in use at that time" (Sarter,
1988a).
