Some of Our Team Member's Opinion and Insights About the Theory

“The theory give a certain level of explanations on the complexity of human which in turn give rise to questions like: how we are going to manage these complexities? The theory is not that useful in a culture where the person usually seeks medical advice only during an acute or emergent phase.” – MARVIN REPATO-

"The Human Becoming Theory deals about the real and true presence of the nurse, and that is to act as a witness, help them to look into their reality,  to be with them in their most difficult times and to guide them and just to be with them. Sometimes if not most of the times, to provide them a non-controlling environment and a set-up where their opinions, thoughts and feelings are brought to the open should be given to them freely, thus giving them the chance too to reflect on their current situations and transcends to a much better situation and a much better them. Truly, it is not only a gift but it also a skill to be in the real meaning and feelings of other people and such as great nurses do, where they approach nursing care holistically, just merely being aware and be reminded of this theory creates a great significance to us all. Thus, a real nurse cares for a patient not just for their illness but for a man as a whole, and that includes their spiritual, sociological & psychological well being, then that is the only time that we can say we provided a genuine care and support."- CELESTE MAE ROSCO-

“In Nursing Education, understanding Parse’s human becoming theory teaches essential insights to nursing students. It teaches them the importance of seeing the patient’s perspective during nursing care. Nursing is not a one-sided discipline. It is a cooperative act between the nurse and the patient in which both are directed towards improving the latter’s quality of life. In a clinical setting, Parse’s human becoming theory provides alternative methods of providing patient care. It guides the nurse by directing them towards not only on the physiological direction of “fixing” the patient but more importantly on striving on “being with” the patient. This simple nursing act strengthens the nurse-patient relationship if utilized properly. It allows the nurse to fully unfold the patient’s perspective in relation to his current condition and his life. By understanding the perspective of the patient, the nurse is more likely to provide a more effective nursing care by effectively guiding the patient towards positive health behavior changing patterns. This results to the attainment of human becoming. Lastly, in Nursing Research, utilizing Parse’s human becoming theory helps the nurse in gaining a deeper understanding on individualized human experiences. These unique experiences widen the nurse’s perspective on human life thus increasing a nurse’s appreciation while at the same time equipping the nurse with a deeper understanding on life itself which will prove useful once in the clinical setting.”- MARIA VICTORIA RAMOS-

"We nurses, are always aiming for the best quality care we could provide to all our clients, and  not only the listening ear but the listening heart plays a great role, not only to transcend to be more humane  but TO BE HUMANE. So to say and to speak, this theory doesn’t just involve nurses on a clinical setting but the whole society. The human dignity and respect are greatly valued in this theory. The power of empathy and not just merely sympathizing are given a great importance.  The dignity and ethical precept of humanity are illuminated, which I think in a fast paced world such as ours and the value of time and work output that are expected, these values where taken for granted and were set aside, when it is the BASIC of being HUMAN. Taking time to listen, and just merely taking time, slowing down are the values learned here." -REMEDIOS A. RACADIO-

“Parse's theory furthers the role of the nurse. Being more compassionate and emphatic to clients gives deeper meaning in the provision of nursing care. It is also constructive in the long term goal attainment of an individual’s bio-sociological functioning. Moreover, this theory denotes principles for lifelong learning. It focuses on human possibility and the living of hopes and dreams.”- HARRY WILLIAM REY-

"Nursing theories is not only based on the physiologic part but rather it is also applied in all aspects surrounding the person. Such example is, The Human Becoming Theory which explains the person’s own perspective in health and life. As nurses, we should see the totality of the person on how he sees life with different endeavors, striving to become a better one. Empowerment for a person or client is also a point in human becoming in which, he will be able to formulate own decisions considering aspects involved as well as the capability to do it in the right way. The goal is to help them learn and do things on their own through our assistance in which we must consider their feelings, ideas and experiences on how they deal with their own environment. A nurse should be consistent to her presence and ideas to help them. It is a long term process indeed, but the possibility of making people to be on their own (good ways with healthy living) is a great triumph in giving care as nurses." -WELLY ROCERO-

“This theory is concerned with understanding the phenomena as experienced by the person;   hence it considers quality of life from each person’s own perspective as the goal of nursing. I believe that human being participate in formulating what is real for him through life experiences guided by his  chosen values building his/her  own  way. Nursing diagnoses has no place in this theory because the theorist  does not advocate labelling, instead she commonly uses the prefix “co”  to denote the participative nature of persons, meaning human being cannot be separated from his relationship with the world.  How persons makes sense of experience and transforms experience into  their consciousness, both to himself and as shared with others, meaning how  they perceived it, describe it, feel about it, and talk about it with  other people, therefore, a person’s past, present and future is significant and irreplaceable.” -NORMITA M.
