Summary
This study describes a nursing curriculum based on Parse's human becoming theory. The California Baptist University School of Nursing successfully implemented this paradigm, growing significantly and guiding nursing practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Nursing Theory
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- Dr. Constance Milton conceptualized a nursing curriculum rooted in Parse's human becoming theory.
- California Baptist University School of Nursing established in 2006 with 40 students.
- The school now educates over 650 students in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a nursing curriculum integrated with Parse's human becoming theory.
- To illustrate the application of the human becoming paradigm in nursing education.
- To showcase student work reflecting the art of nursing through this theoretical lens.
Main Methods:
- Curriculum development based on Parse's human becoming theory.
- Analysis of graduate nursing student work from early and late semesters.
- Qualitative description of the curriculum's implementation and impact.
Main Results:
- The human becoming paradigm provides a unique framework for nursing education.
- Student work demonstrates an evolving understanding and application of the theory.
- The curriculum fosters a distinct approach to the art of nursing.
Conclusions:
- Parse's human becoming theory offers a robust foundation for nursing curricula.
- The California Baptist University School of Nursing exemplifies successful implementation of this paradigm.
- The curriculum effectively guides students in living the art of nursing.

01:24Humanistic Psychology

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.

The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

1.2K
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

01:24Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...
