Abstract:
The purpose of this praxis research was to address the process of a researcher's partnering with practicing nurses to incorporate Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness as a guide for nursing practice. Initially the nurses were bound by their commitment to help clients within a philosophy of cure, but as they began to engage in a caring relationship of pattern recognition with clients, they experienced the clients' transformations in a way that was transformative for them and that pervaded the total realm of their nursing practice. The process illustrates the immediate applicability of Newman's theory.
