Case Study of Parse's theory of Human Becoming?

The hospice nurse sat with Ann's husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room's only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann's bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. "She would ride like the wind was chasing her." Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears "Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling." Ben turned "Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie's husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night." Ben turned back as a deep sigh escaped from Ann's lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.

  • Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse's theory of Human Becoming?
  • What are characteristics of a human becoming nurse? What are strengths and weaknesses to this theory of nursing?
  • What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?
  • How might Parse's understanding of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann's death became a reality to Ben?
  • From the nursing theories we have discussed, what additional theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)

NURSING THEORY & NURSING PRACTICE

Overview

Death and the dying process are one of the most challenging situations that human beings
have to pass, and there is no way of avoiding it. Therefore, nurses need to have adequate
knowledge of knowing how to help patients and their family how to deal with the situation
without caused a lot of psychological distress (Smith & Parker, 2015). A good example is the
case of Ann's family. She appears to be dying and leaving a husband who was stressed because
they had lost a daughter who had died giving birth to a child who also died. Therefore, for Ben, it
will be challenging to lose another person. However, the nurse can use Parse's theory of human
development to help Ben pass through this challenging time and continue with his life in a way
that it does not affect his health.

Actualizing the Theory

Parse theory helps nurses on focusing on the quality of life of patients according to how it
is described and lived. It means that the nurse sees a patient as an open being and how they
interact and interpret the environment as different parts and the things that happen and health is
the process of being and becoming which is comprised of synthesizing of set values. The nurse is
the part that is human science or art figure that is there to help out through using an abstract of
knowledge. The founder of the theory, Rosemarie Rizzo, stated that a being is a unitary being
that experiences a persistent and mutual interaction with the environment through a system of
multiple paradigms. The paradigms are the psychological, biological, spiritual, and sociological
factors (Ahmad).

Therefore, the hospice nurse, as human science or art and synthesizing the theory, can use
her knowledge to see the world at the perspective of Ben in all the human being paradigms. By
this, it means that the nurse needs to place herself in the view of Ben of all the human paradigms
to help him develop a process of understanding the different events of the environment as it
keeps changing. The nurse can actualize the theory by being there for Ben and Ann throughout
