Overview

Metaperspective
Original work was named Man-Living-Health: A Theory of Nursing (1981).
When the term mankind was replaced with male gender in the dictionary definition of man, the name of the theory was changed to human becoming (Parse, 1992).
*

Totality vs Simultaneity Paradigms

The totality paradigm frameworks and theories are more closely aligned with the medical model tradition.
Nurses practicing according to this paradigm are concerned with participation of persons in health care decisions but have specific regimens and goals to bring about change for the people they serve (Parse, 1999b).
In contrast, the simultaneity paradigm views the human as unitary–indivisible, unpredictable, and ever-changing (Parse, 1987, 1998a, 2007b), wherein health is considered a value and a process.
The ontology leads research and practice scholars to focus on, for example, energy and environmental field patterns (Rogers, 1992).
Nurses focus on power in knowing participation (Barrett, 2010; Rogers, 1992).
*Tenets of the Theory of Humanbecoming

Third Paradigm

In 2012, Parse identified a third paradigm, the humanbecoming paradigm (Parse, 2012a, 2013a).
This was created in as much as the ontology, epistemology, and methodologies of the humanbecoming school of thought have moved on from the traditional metaparadigm conceptualization and beyond the totality and simultaneity paradigms (Parse, 2013a).
*

Humanbecoming Paradigm

With the humanbecoming paradigm in the ontology, humanuniverse is an indivisible, unpredictable everchanging cocreation, and living quality is the becoming visible-invisible becoming of the emerging now.
Nurses living the humanbecoming paradigm beliefs hold that their primary concern is people’s perspectives of living quality with human dignity
*

Fundamental Idea

Humans are indivisible, unpredictable, ever-changing
Precludes any use of terms such as physiological, biological, psychological, or spiritual to describe the human.
Other words often used to describe people, such as, noncompliant, dysfunctional, and manipulative are not consistent with humanbecoming
Humanbecoming and humanuniverse are presented as one word (Parse, 2007b).
Joining the words creates one concept and further confirms the idea of indivisibility.
*Tenets of the Theory of Humanbecoming

The Ontology

The assumptions, postulates, and principles of the humanbecoming school of thought (Parse, 2007b).
*

Principles

Humans construct personal realities with unique choosings arising with illimitable humanuniverse options
Rhythmical humanuniverse patterns of relating
Revealing–concealing, Enabling-limiting, Connecting–separating
Humans are ever-changing, that is, moving on with the possibilities of their intended hopes and dreams.
Powering, originating, transforming.
*

Humanbecoming Research Methodologies
Sciencing humanbecoming is coming to know
It is an ongoing inquiry to discover and understand the meaning of lived experiences
Three research methods
Two basic research methods
*

The Basic Research Methods

The Parse Method (Parse, 1987, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1997a, 1998a, 2001)
Studying lived experiences from participants’ descriptions
The Humanbecoming Hermeneutic Method (Cody, 1995; Parse, 1995, 1998a, 2001, 2005).
Studying lived experiences from written texts and art forms
*

Humanbecoming: The Art
The Goal of the Nurse
Living the humanbecoming beliefs is true presence in bearing witness and being with others in their changing health patterns.
*

True Presence

Lived nurse with person, family, and community in illuminating meaning, synchronizing rhythms, and mobilizing transcendence (Parse, 1987, 1992, 1994a, 1995, 1997a, 1998a).
The nurse with individuals or groups is in true presence with the unfolding meanings as persons explicate, dwell with, and move on with changing patterns of diversity.
*

True Presence (continued)

“True presence is an intentional reflective love, an interpersonal art grounded in a strong knowledge base” (Parse, 1998a, p 71).
Distinct from authentic presence, transforming presence, presencing, and other terms in the literature
True presence is a powerful humanuniverse connection.
Lived in face-to-face discussions, silent immersions, and lingering presence
*Tenets of the Theory of Humanbecoming

Humanbecoming: The Art
Humanbecoming nurses live the art of the science of humanbecoming.
The term nursing practice is antithetical to the ontology.
Nurses come to persons in true presence with an availability to be with and bear witness, as persons illuminate the meaning of the situation, synchronize rhythms, and mobilize transcendence (Parse, 1981, 1987, 1998a, 2007b).
*

Humanbecoming Nurses

Believe persons know their way and live their health situations according to their unique value priorities.
Ask what is most important for the moment
Explore meanings, wishes, intents, and desires related to the situation from the perspective of the recipients
Humanbecoming nurses are with persons in ways that honor their wishes and desires
*

Research & Practice

The humanbecoming school of thought is a guide for research, practice, education, and administration in settings throughout the world.
Scholars from five continents have embraced the belief system and live humanbecoming in a variety of venues, including health care centers and university nursing programs
