Margaret Newman: Health as Expanding Consciousness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780803947979)

As nursing expands its scientific base and moves into more qualitative approaches, it is important that nursing students have the opportunity to know more about the nurse theorists that offer qualitative theories and methods. One such theorist is Margaret Newman. In Margaret Newman, Joanne Marchione offers an exceptional discussion on this preeminent nursing theorist. Marchione skillfully describes the origin of Newman′s theory, the assumptions underlying the theory, the major concepts of meta-paradigm of nursing--including the nursing process--and propositions of the conceptual model itself. Also included are examples for application to practice and research (based on the author′s years of continuous experimentation and application of Newman′s theory), a bibliography of classic works, critiques and research, and a glossary of important terms.
