Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Immigit Theory

A factor that causes important changes in a person’s life is when one experiences the self-realization

Inside the body the disturbances are twofold: (a) the relationships between and among the various body parts and biochemical processes; and (b) the relationship between the mind and the body. Outside the body, these relationships are also twofold: (a) the relationship between the individual patient and his or her environment, including the ecological, physical, familial, social, and political nexus of relationships surrounding the patient; and (b) the relationship between the patient and the transcendent.” (Sulmasy, 2002, p.26)

We create bigger more distinct goals, then what proceeds that? Transcendence. To achieve transcendence or become a transcendent one must learn to become more than just their self and their own goals, to expand one’s self. Not only do you have to see life from many different communities to achieve your full potential but one must also, “Share that self with ‘others’” (267, Mellix).

Considering just two of the following approaches - transpersonal psychology, parapsychology - indicate how they differ, how they overlap, and what they can offer to each other and to the study of exceptional human experiences. Critically evaluate both approaches' drawbacks and benefits to the psychology of EHEs.

Afterlife beliefs interpret transcendence as a simple transition from pre-death life to a post-death form. In a broader sense, Lifton speaks of a universal need to transcend death. Using the rubric of symbolic immortality he suggests five ways of accomplishing such a goal. The first is Biological Immortality that lets one live through offspring and descendants. The second is Theological Immortality or Religious Immortality that stresses spiritual attachment, the spirit over the body death. The third is Creative Immortality that is attained through one’s work and achievements; the lasting contribution one hopes to make to the future. The fourth is Nature Immortality that deals with continuation as a part of an undying, enduring, permanent nature. The fifth is Mystical Immortality that is a state so intense that in it time and death

Profound psychological events with transcendental and mystical elements, typically occurring to individuals close to death or in situations of intense physical or emotional danger. The elements include ineffability, a sense that the experience transcends personal ego, and an experience of union with a divine or higher principle.

Parse’s theory of human becoming is one of the influential theory in nursing. It basically helps to guides nurses as they care for the sick to concentrate on the quality of life their patients lived as they go through that difficult time. Parse’s theory of human becoming consisted of three structures, which are, meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence. Parse’s theory of human becoming described meaning as the experiences and reality that one lived (Nursing theory, 2011). On the other hand, Parse’s theory of human becoming described rhythmicity as “Human Becoming is co-creating rhythmical patterns of relating in mutual process with the universe” (Nursing theory, 2011). While Parse’s theory of human becoming described transcendence as going beyond certain limits that one possesses. This paper will discuss Parse 's theory of Human Becoming as well as another theory contribution to the advancement of knowledge in support or multidisciplinary science or teams.

Change is certainly not a concept that is easily accepted or achieved by most members of society because it requires efforts outside of what has become the “norm” or familiar and most comfortable for people. In regards to health promotion and improvement or maintenance, self-assessment, along with professional guidance, is necessary to examine a patient’s potential to change. Identifying in which stage of the Transtheoretical Model a patient exists is imperative to application of theory, to predict success as well as enable movement in a positive direction and promote a desirable outcome. For one patient, G. H., grief, depression, and genetic factors – none of which were of her own choosing or any fault of her own, have resulted in the

Transcendence is the experience we have in relation to our religious environment, something that pulls us out of ourselves to something objectively greater. Also, it is the aspiration to achieve something more. A way of life, prayer, and worship embodies spirituality. Including the gap between what we are, and what we aspire to be. In Greek, there is the concept of “Askesis” which is the art of living, and the Greeks aspired to theorize an art of living well. The Greeks had another concept of “Praxis” which is the idea that our “spiritual transcendent life needs to be worked on,” and comes through discipline. Citizens of Ancient Greece were focused on finding a theory and philosophy of what the universe was about. Their method of spirituality

In order to find the patients baseline an assessment of functionality is needed for comparison. When assessing a patient it is important to pay attention to the abilities of activities of daily living regularly. An assumption of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory is that a person’s knowledge of potential health problems is needed for promoting self- care behaviors (Nursingtheory.org, 2013).

Dorothea Orem created the self-care theory in 1959 and continued to build upon her theory until 2001. The purpose of Orem’s theory was to define nursing, discuss the relationship among the nurse and the patient, and to promote a clear understanding of the scope of nursing (Taylor, Self-Care Deficit Theory of Nursing, 2006). Today, Orem’s theory is widely known and is utilized in nursing curriculum, as well as continuing education topics for healthcare providers.

As people began       to experience reality as subjective, they became more isolated, and they       longed to connect with others. Transcendence shifted away from grace to a       process of joining with something outside of the self (Koster). In order       to experience God, people had to break through their own individuality.         Transcending the self became a central question for writers in the       Romantic, Victorian, and Modern eras.

The Science of Unitary Beings models has had a great impact on the nursing process. From this theory alone, has stemmed non-pharmaceutical approaches for

Eastern enlightenment religions have been gaining popularity throughout the western world for the past few decades, with many people attracted to a "different" way of experiencing religion. As with many other enlightenment religions, Buddhism requires disciples to understand concepts that are not readily explainable: one such concept is that of no-self. In this essay I shall discuss the no-self from a number of modern perspectives; however, as no-self is difficult to describe I shall focus on both the self and no-self. Beginning with psychological aspects, and neurophysiological research on transcendental meditation, I shall discuss the impact of modern brain science on our understanding of the self and transcendence. Next I will outline

Another category included in the first dimension is called “Self-Transcendence” and it is measured by how far we come in our spiritual journey transcending our physical needs. We humans, must sometimes take time to ourselves thought the day to put our mind and body in a calm state.
