Illumination of Parse's theory of humanbecoming: modern literature as situation study
1Salem State University, USA.
Abstract:
The theory of humanbecoming can be illuminated through utilizing popular literature as a situation study. The living experience of Morrie Schwartz as related in Tuesdays with Morrie, serves as exemplar for lingering presence, the emerging now, and the three themes of meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence. This exemplar formed the basis for an educational session for graduate nursing students in a nursing theory course. The response to this teaching methodology suggests popular literature can be used successfully in teaching nursing theory.
