According to the research, it "is defined as a practice-based ethic that is patient centered, It is an individualistic ethic that unites the reason why a decision is made with the action itself and the foreseeable consequences of that action," (Brown, 2010). In this the theory also shares with Parse's theory the importance of individual decision making and choices. One of the main differences is the notion of how we relate to one another. We have a freedom from aggression, known as negative right, based on this relationship, where we are not scared of others acting out irrationally against us. As such, the health care professionals do not act to harm the patients, but the patients also have the strict role of being the patients, thus "to fulfill his responsibilities in the treatment plan and not to place any unreasonable demands on the healthcare professional" (Brown, 2010). This is different from the first theory explained. Much in contrast to the Human Becoming theory, this theory believes that there is "an agreement that exists between all rational beings" (Brown, 2010). In this agreement, there wiggle room for relativity,...
The nurse is supposed to use better judgment based on a patient-centered model that changes from one individual to another.
From a personal perspective, I believe that the first theory, Human Becoming, is a slightly more realistic approach based on what I have seen in the contemporary nursing field. I would like to believe that all individuals share the freedom from aggression, but the truth is, some people simply are out to harm others. Thus, when dealing with an aggressive or irrational patient, the Sympohonological Bioethical Theory becomes difficult to practice. This makes the Human Becoming theory a little more well rounded and applicable in actual nursing practice.

In fact, its utilization led to the development of the Goal-Oriented Nursing Record (GONR), which is used as a procedural step that would guide the nurse throughout his/her conduct of care service provision and evaluation. Orlando's theory of functional nursing, meanwhile, focuses on one concept considered vital in King's goal attainment theory: perception. In her theory, Orlando explicated the importance of a perceptive nursing, which is a basic requirement and
Nursing Theory from the View of a Mirror, Microscope and Telescope The objective of this work is to examine perspective of nursing theory from the view of a mirror, a microscope, and a telescope. Theories are described as "a set of interrelated concepts that give a systematic view of a phenomenon that is explanatory and predictive in nature." (Nursing Theories, 2010) Theories are stated to be composed of "concepts, definitions, models, propositions
Ruland and Moore's (1998) work on Peaceful End of Life Theory is similar in many aspects to the Theory of Caring. Both are middle range theories which are like seeds that are expected to grow into a more general understanding. Both of these theories emphasize caring and standards of care as important benchmarks in the evolution of nursing. Peaceful end of life theory developed in a different manner and ultimately has
One of the major theoretical models for healthcare delivery is the Parse theory of human becoming, created by Rosemarie Rizzo Parse—originally titled the man-living-health theory (2011). This theory focuses on healthcare and the human through the lens of quality of life. This theoretical premise for delivering and receiving healthcare was able to gain steam as a result of its alternative to the more standard bio-medical method and the biological-psychological-social and
Nursing Grand Theory Grand Theory The nursing grand theory is the framework which guides and organizes the knowledge in nursing and explains the nursing phenomena at a more specific level. The nursing grand theory was put forth by Afaf Meleis who constructed on theory which combines the set of concepts, relationships, definitions and assumptions or propositions which are derived from the models of nursing in order to give a systematic view of
Nursing Theorist: Sr. Roy Adaptation Model The Roy Adaptation model for Nursing had its beginning when Sister Callista Roy happened to get admitted in the Masters Program of pediatric nursing in the University of California, Los Angeles, in the year 1964. At that time, Sr. Callista was familiar with the idea of 'adaptation' in nursing, and it must be mentioned that Sr. Callista's adviser at that time was Dorothy E. Johnson,
