Considering Tomorrow: Parse's Theory-Guided Research

Sandra Schmidt Bunkers, RN; PhD

Augustana College, Sioux Falls, SD

The purpose of this nursing study, guided by Parse's human becoming theory and research methodology, was to investigate the meaning of considering tomorrow for women who arehomeless. This is the first study to explore the newly conceptualized health phenomenon of considering tomorrow; thus, this research provides new knowledge for nursing and expands Parse's theory in relation to considering tomorrow, health, and quality of life. Through dialogical engagements with 10 women who were homeless and the process of extraction-synthesis, the researcher generated the structure of considering tomorrow as contemplating desired endeavors in longing for the cherished, while intimate alliances with isolating distance emerge, as resilient endurance surfaces amid disturbing unsureness. Conceptual integration led to a theoretical structure in which considering tomorrow is imaging the valuing in the connecting-separating of originating.

Key Words: Considering Tomorrow • Homeless Women • Human Becoming
