May 1914 and died in Phoenix, 13th march 1994. For 21 years, Dr. Professor and Head of the division of Nurse Education at New York University. She was active in numerous professional organizations, received many awards and honors, and published extensively in numerous Nursing journals. ROGERS’S DEFINITION OF NURSING:
Nursing, “is a humanistic and
humanitarian science directed towards describing and explaining the human beings in synergistic wholeness, and in developing the hypothetical generalization and predictive principles basic to knowledgeable practice. This science of nursing is a science of humanity- the study of irreducible human being and their environments” - Martha E. Rogers BASIC ASSUMPTIONS:
The human being is a unified whole
possessing an individual integrity and manifesting characteristics that are more than and different from the sum of the parts. Extensive knowledge of sub system is ineffective in enabling one to determine the properties of the living system- human being BASIC ASSUMPTIONS Contd…
Second, it is assumed that the individual and
the environment are continuously exchanging matter and energy with each other. Environment for any individual is defined as an “irreducible” energy field identified by pattern and integral with the human field. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS Contd…
Thethird assumption holds that the life
process of human being evolves reversibly and unidirectional along a space-time continuum. The individual can never go backward or be something he or she previously was. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS Contd…
The fourth assumption is that pattern
identifies individuals and reflects their innovative wholeness. Identifying individuals and reflecting their wholeness are life’s patterns. These patterns allows for self- regulation, rhythemicity, and dynamisms. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS Contd…
Finally,the fifth assumption is that the human
being is characterized by the capacity for abstraction and imagery, language and thought, sensation and emotion. ROGERS THEORY: PRINCIPLES OF HOMEODYNAMICS
Although Rogers offers no theoretical statement, she
ground her principles of Homeodynamics in the five basic assumptions and four building blocks. The principles of Homeodynamics are composed of three separate principles- Integrality
Resonancy
Helicy Integrality:-
The first principle is that of integrality.
Because of the inseparability of human being and their environment, sequential changes in the life process are continuous revisions occurring from the interactions between human being and their environment. Thus, integrality is the continuous, mutual, simultaneous interaction process between human and environment fields. Resonancy:-
The next principle, resonancy, speaks to the
nature of the changes occurring between human and environmental fields. The change in the pattern of human beings and environment is propagated by a wave that moves from longer waves of lower frequency to shorter wave of higher frequency. Helicy:-
The principle of helicy deals with the nature and
direction of change in the human – environment field. The human- environment field is a dynamic, open system in which change is continuous due to the constant interchange between the human and the environment. This is also innovative. Because of constant interchange, an open system is never exactly the same at any two moments; rather, the system is continually new or different. APPLICATION OF ROGERS’ THEORY
Focus on person’s wholeness.
Seek to promote symphonic interaction between the two energy fields (Human and environment) to strengthen the coherence and integrity of person. Coordinate the human field with rhythemicity of environment. Direct or redirect the pattern of interaction between two energy fields to promote maximum health potential. LIMITATIONS OF ROGERS’S PRINCIPLES OF HOMEODYNAMICS
Even though basic assumptions are provided and the
principles are defined, the system remains abstract. Terms have not been sufficiently operationalized to provide for clear understanding Because of lack of operational definitions, research done to support or verify the principles provides questionable result. Operational definitions are need for the development of hypotheses that test the theoretical concepts involved, but without such definitions just what was confirmed or not confirmed by these studies is in doubt. USES OF ROGERS’S PRINCIPLES IN THE NURSING PROCESS
If the profession of nursing is viewed as concerned with unitary
human beings, the principle of homeodynamics provide guidelines for predicting the nature and direction of the individual’s development as responses to health-related problems are made. Using these guidelines, the professional practice of nursing would then seek to promote symphonic integration of human beings and there environments, to strengthen the coherence and integrity of the human fields, and to direct and redirect patterning of the human and environmental fields for the realization of maximum health. These goals would be reflected in the Nursing Process. To successfully use the principles of homeodynamics, there needs to be a consideration of the nurses and involvement of both the nurse and the client in the nursing process. This involvement in nursing process by the nurse demonstrate concern for the total person rather than one aspect, one problem, or a limited segment of need fulfillment. In the nursing assessment phase of the nursing process, all the facts and opinion about the individual are collected. Which is achieved by asking and seeking the response from the collected data. As a result of nursing assessment, a conclusion is drawn about the individual. This conclusion is the nursing diagnosis, the second step in the nursing process, and it reflects the principles of homeodynamics. Rhythms, patterns, diversity, interactions and life- process variations become evident. Resonancy requires that the nursing plan be geared towards supporting or modifying variations in the life process of the whole human being. Because the human life process is unidirectional phenomenon, the interventions cannot be aimed at returning the individual to a former level of existence; rather, the nurse helps the individual move forward to a higher more diverse level of existence. Nursing planning in the helicy requires an acceptance of individual differences as an expression of evolutionary emergence. The strategies geared to supporting or modifying rhythms and life goals, to aquire this need an active participation of client in nursing process. The aim of the nursing plan is attainment of an optimum state of health for the individual. This state of health may not be the ideal but will be maximum health that is potentially possible for the individual. If attainment of an optimum health is the aim of the nursing plan, then it becomes the focus for nursing evaluation, the final step of nursing process SUMMARY Building on the broad theoretical base from a variety of disciplines, Rogers develop the principles of homeodynamics. Inherent in the principles are five basic assumptions: The human being is the unified whole, possessing individual integrity and manifesting characteristics that are more than and different from the sum of the parts. The individual and the environments are continuously exchanging matter and energy with each other The life process of human being evolves irreversibly and unidirectional along a space time continuum. Pattern identifies human being and reflects their innovative wholeness.
The principle of integrality, helicy and resonancy are compared to general
system theory, developmental theories and adaptation theories. Ways to use the principles in the nursing process are explored. The difficulty is the lack of understanding and operational definitions, and inadequate instruments for measurement are the major limitations to the effective use of this theory. CONCLUSION:
Martha E. Rogers (1970) considered the
individual as an energy field coexisting within the universe. The individual is in continuous interaction with the environment and is a unified whole, possessing personal integrity and manifesting characteristics that are more than the sum of the parts.
