INTRODUCTION
Theory of Unitary Human Beings is a theory of nursing
Current focus is on analyzing this theory checking application in nursing
Background and description will be provided in the first part
It was presented by Martha E. Rogers
Detailed analysis will be given of application in healthcare

The theory of Unitary Human Beings is the Theory of Nursing. This theory of nursing was presented by the late Martha E. Rogers. The current focus of the theory now a day is basically to check how this theory can be applied in nursing, to what extent this theory can be applied in nursing and to how much and to what extent this theory can be applied in the field of nursing. It is also worth mentioning that scientists are also finding new ways and applications of this remarkable theory. Moving on with the presentation now, in the first part of the presentation, I will provide the background of the theory and its related description and in the second part of the theory, a detailed analysis on the application of this theory in healthcare will be provided.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE
To understanding the theory presented by Martha E. Rogers
To understand application of theory in Nursing
To discuss importance of the theory in healthcare
To carry out critique on the theory discussing strengths and weaknesses
4
The learning objectives of this presentation is to understand the or science of Unitary Human Beings that have been presented by Martha E. Rogers. Another objective of this presentation is to understand how this theory can be applied in real-time nursing practice and what is its application in the field of nursing. The third objective of this presentation is to understand what importance does this theory holds in the field of healthcare and the last objective of this presentation is to carry out a critique on the theory or science of unitary human beings in which the strengths and weaknesses of the theory will be discussed and the theory will be analyzed.

MAIN ELEMENT OF THEORY
Strong link is present between a human and its environment where such environment needs to be taken into account while treating a patient
Environment greatly influences the process of change which leads towards better health (Watson & Smith, 2002)
It is not possible to separate environmental factor from a patient while treating illness
5
The main element of the theory states a few things. The first thing that this theory states is that there is a Strong link is present between a human and its environment where such an environment needs to be taken into account while treating a patient. The second main element of this theory is that it says that the environment greatly influences the process of change which leads towards better health and the last main element that this theory states or which is a part of this theory are that it is not possible to separate environmental factor from a patient while treating illness.

RELEVANCE IN HEALTHCARE
Theory of Roger provides in dept analysis of health of a person describing it as expression of life
Two dimensions are present in the theory which link with nursing
It describes nursing from perspective of art and science showing a creative perspective for curing people
Clear steps have been described for the nursing process which helps make effective assessment
7
The theory of Unitary Human Beings is very relevant in healthcare. The theory provides an in-depth analysis of the health of a person while describing it as an expression of life. There are two dimensions present in the theory which is linked to the field of nursing. The theory describes the field of nursing from the perspective of art and science showing a creative perspective for curing people. In this theory, clear steps have been described for the nursing process which helps to make an effective assessment of the subject.

APPLICATION IN NURSING – ENERGY FIELD
Energy has been defined as the potential for process or change where this boundary is present for living and non-living
It is not possible to separate out a living person from his environment for which both aspects need to be taken into account
Hence nurses need to take into account environmental factors while treating patients devising appropriate approach
8
Moving on to the applications of this theory in the different fields of nursing, I will start with discussing the application of this theory in the field of nursing and its energy field. Energy has been defined as the potential for processor change where this boundary is present for living and non-living. It is not possible to separate a living person from his environment for which both aspects need to be taken into account. Hence nurses need to take into account environmental factors while treating patients devising an appropriate approach. This is the application of this theory in the Energy Field of Nursing

APPLICATION IN NURSING - RESEARCH
Rogerian theory has found application in number of researches where it turned out to be relevant
Can be researched in various areas such as finding optimum environment in which energy is homogenized allowing patient to relax

The Rogerian theory has found application in several kinds of research where it turned out to be relevant. It Can be researched in various areas such as finding the optimum environment in which energy is homogenized allowing the patient to relax. This is the application of this theory in the field of Research Field of Nursing.

APPLICATION IN NURSING – HOMODYNAMIC PRINCIPLES
Hemodynamics indicates balance between life process and environment
Humans are viewed as a unitary being with three features effecting behavior
Resonance says that wave patterns are continuously shifting in the environment (Rogers, 2011)
Change process if often unpredictable at times where change can be brought continuously
Integrality state that it is continuously a mutual process

Hemodynamic indicates a balance between the life process and environment. Humans are viewed as a unitary being with three features of effecting behavior. Resonance says that wave patterns are continuously shifting in the environment. The change process is often unpredictable at times where change can be brought continuously. Integrality state that it is continuously a mutual process. This the application of this theory in the Homodynamic Principles Field of Nursing.
10
APPLICATION IN NURSING – CLINICAL PRACTICE
Number of environmental factors relating to the patient are under control of nurses such as humor, therapeutic touch, music etc.
Greater emphasis should be put by nurses on management of pain, rehabilitation and supportive therapy
Nurses interact for considerable duration with patients for which they should show more care towards such elements

Number of environmental factors relating to the patient are under control of nurses such as humor, therapeutic touch, music, etc. Greater emphasis should be put by nurses on management of pain, rehabilitation, and supportive therapy. Nurses interact for the considerable duration with patients for which they should show more care towards such elements. This is the application of this theory in the Clinical Practice Field of Nursing.
11
APPLICATION IN NURSING - EDUCATION
Emphasis should be directed towards teaching the case of patient energy and how it carries influence on patient
Proper training should be provided on how to control environmental factors so that it is more suitable for patients (Rogers, 1994)
12
Emphasis should be directed towards teaching the case of patient energy and how it carries influence on the patient. Proper training should be provided on how to control environmental factors so that it is more suitable for patients. This is the application of this theory in the Education Field of Nursing.
12
CRITIQUE
Framework provided in theory of Roger seems to be weak where it does not define any particular hypothesis
In such a case, it is difficult to determine whether it holds true or not given that it cannot be tested
Concept of power and energy mentioned is hard to contemplate for common people having limited application
13
Several People have critiqued on this theory of nursing. Framework provided in theory of Roger seems to be weak where it does not define any particular hypothesis. In such a case, it is difficult to determine whether it holds true or not given that it cannot be tested. Concept of power and energy mentioned is hard to contemplate for common people having limited application.
13
STRENGTHS
Broad viewpoint is present for nursing in Rogers concepts where it proposes specific relationship between situations
Principle that is applied by Roger in his theory can be tested with relative ease
14
The strength of this theory is that it presents a broad viewpoint for nursing in Rogers concepts where it proposes a specific relationship between situations. The principle that is applied by Roger in his theory can be tested with relative ease. These are the strengths of this theory
14
WEAKNESSES
Testing basis of this theory is questionable from several angles mainly because its concepts are not measurable
Theory is believed to be profound with extremely abstract concepts hard to contemplate
Role of nurses in curing patients was not clearly defined by Rogers
15
The weaknesses of this theory are that the Testing basis of this theory is questionable from several angles mainly because its concepts are not measurable. The Theory is believed to be profound with extremely abstract concepts hard to contemplate. The Role of nurses in curing patients was not clearly defined by Rogers.
15
CONCLUSION
Rogers concept has been analyzed checking it from nursing perspective where it finds wide number of applications
Science of Unitary Human beings finds application in various areas of nursing such as practical treatment, teaching and research
Theory lacks sound theoretical standing due to which it is difficult to test its validity
16
Rogers concept has been analyzed checking it from a nursing perspective where it finds a wide number of applications. Science of Unitary Human beings finds application in various areas of nursing such as practical treatment, teaching, and research. Theory lacks sound theoretical standing due to which it is difficult to test its validity. So this is the conclusion of this theory.
