Parse’s Human Becoming Theory

Sample Solution

• The nurse would focus on the meaning of the experience for Ann and Ben. She would listen to their stories and try to understand their perspectives on Ann's death. She would also be aware of her own biases and assumptions, and she would strive to create a safe space for Ann and Ben to share their thoughts and feelings.
• The nurse would respect Ann and Ben's choices. She would not try to impose her own beliefs or values on them. She would support their decisions, even if she disagreed with them.

• The nurse would encourage Ann and Ben to be present in the moment. She would help them to focus on their experiences and to savor the time they had left together.
• The nurse would be open to new possibilities. She would not assume that she knew what was best for Ann and Ben. She would be willing to explore new options and to try new things.

Here are some characteristics of a human becoming nurse:

• They are open to new ideas and possibilities. They are willing to challenge the status quo and to think outside the box.
• They are respectful of the client's choices. They do not impose their own beliefs or values on the client.
• They are present in the moment. They focus on the client's experience and they do not get caught up in the past or the future.
• They are creative. They are not afraid to try new things and to come up with innovative solutions.

Here are some strengths and weaknesses of Parse's theory of nursing:

• Strengths:
  • It is a holistic theory that takes into account the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions of the person.
  • It is a strengths-based theory that focuses on the client's resources and abilities.
  • It is a flexible theory that can be adapted to different settings and populations.
• Weaknesses:
  • It can be difficult to operationalize the concepts of the theory.
  • It is not a well-known theory, so it may not be widely accepted by nurses.
  • It is a complex theory, so it may be difficult to understand and apply.

Here are some challenges that exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach:

• Cost: It can be expensive to train nurses in this new approach.
• Time: It takes time to implement a new nursing approach.
• Resistance: Some nurses may be resistant to change and may not be willing to adopt this new approach.

Parse's understanding of transcendence can guide the nurse as Ann's death became a reality to Ben. Transcendence is the ability to go beyond the limitations of the present moment and to experience a sense of connection with something larger than oneself. In this case, Ben may find transcendence through his faith, his memories of Ann, or his connection with nature. The nurse can support Ben's transcendence by being present with him, listening to his stories, and helping him to connect with his spiritual beliefs.

In addition to Parse's theory of Human Becoming, I would also apply the Neuman Systems Model to this case study. The Neuman Systems Model is a holistic model that views the person as a system that is constantly interacting with its environment. The model can be used to assess the client's strengths and vulnerabilities, and to develop a plan of care that addresses the client's physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs.

The following is a plan of care that includes both Parse's theory of Human Becoming and the Neuman Systems Model:

• Goal: To help Ben cope with Ann's death and to find meaning in her life.
• Interventions:
  • Provide emotional support to Ben.
  • Help Ben to connect with his spiritual beliefs.
  • Encourage Ben to talk about his memories of Ann.
  • Help Ben to identify his strengths and resources.
  • Develop a plan of care that addresses Ben's physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs.

I believe that this plan of care is comprehensive and holistic, and that it will help Ben to cope with Ann's death and to find meaning in her life.
