Parse's theory in practice with a group in the community
Nursing Science Quarterly
|January 1, 1995
Summary
This study explores enhancing quality of life in community nursing using Parse's human becoming theory. It highlights true presence as a method for person-centered care with individuals experiencing genital herpes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Qualitative Research
- Community Health
Background:
- Traditional group nursing often focuses on problems and learning.
- A shift towards person-centered care emphasizes quality of life.
- Parse's theory of human becoming offers a framework for this shift.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a person-centered nursing practice focused on quality of life.
- To explore the application of Parse's theory in community-based practice.
- To examine the health experiences of individuals with genital herpes within a group setting.
Main Methods:
- A 10-week qualitative study guided by Parse's practice method.
- Focus on "living true presence" as a core intervention.
- Community-based group practice with individuals diagnosed with genital herpes.
Main Results:
- Emerging patterns of health were identified within the group.
- The practice demonstrated a focus on quality of life rather than solely on problems.
- "True presence" facilitated a unique therapeutic interaction.
Conclusions:
- Person-centered care, guided by Parse's theory, can enhance quality of life in community settings.
- "True presence" is a viable nursing intervention for promoting well-being.
- Further development of community-based nursing agendas is suggested.

01:32The Scientific Method
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...
02:40The Scientific Method
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
01:31In- and Out-Groups
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.
01:19Mass Analyzers: Common Types
The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four cylindrical metal rods arranged in a diamond carrying a DC voltage and a radio-frequency AC voltage. The motion of ions through the quadrupole depends on the field strength, causing only ions of a certain m/z to resonate successfully and strike the detector at a given field strength. Though the transmission rate for these analyzers is high, the exact elemental composition of the sample is not determined because of low resolution; however, they are...
01:18Parseval's Theorem
Parseval's theorem is a fundamental concept in signal processing and harmonic analysis. It asserts that for a periodic function, the average power of the signal over one period equals the sum of the squared magnitudes of all its complex Fourier coefficients. This theorem, named after Marc-Antoine Parseval, provides a powerful tool for analyzing the energy distribution in signals.
Interestingly, Parseval's theorem also holds for the trigonometric form of the Fourier series, which expresses a...

01:28Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...
