Nursing knowledge for the 21st century: an international commitment.

This article sets forth some assumptions about 21st century trends in science, communication systems, and lifestyle patterns. Further, it offers speculations about the relationship of these trends to future health care. Nursing knowledge in light of the assumptions and speculations is addressed and a nursing science curriculum proposed. A complex of centers to replace today's health care system is described in an effort to make explicit the contribution of the professional nurse to the health care of individuals and families in the 21st century. The author calls for an international commitment from nurses of all nations to use extant nursing theories and frameworks, rather than the biomedical model, as guides to research and practice in order to expand the base of nursing knowledge while specifying the uniqueness of the discipline.

Human becoming: Parse's Theory of nursing.

This article updates Parse's theory of human becoming (formerly man-living-health) and the congruent practice and research methodologies. The language of the assumptions and principles is revised to be in keeping with the change in name, from "man-living-health" to "human becoming." No other aspects of the theory are changed. Assumptions underpinning the Parse research method are specified for the first time. Specific examples are included to illustrate the practice methodology and references named to demonstrate the research methodologies. The practice and research methodologies are presently evolving, and it is anticipated that the evolution and use of these methodologies will enhance the theory. The ontology and the congruent methodologies are offered as a contribution to the evolution of nursing science.

Health: a personal commitment.

Health as a personal commitment is a view that evolves from Parse's theory of man-living-health. This article describes different models of human nature and explains health from the perspectives of each, describes a view of health from the man-living-health theory supported by other contemporary works, and posits some implications for nursing practice and research related to this view of health. The author elaborates on ways human beings move beyond the moment to change patterns of health through creative imagining, affirming self, and spontaneous glimpsing of the paradoxical. The meaning of true presence is discussed as well as some basic suggestions for the study of phenomena using the Parse research methodology.
