Nursing Praxis within Margaret Newman’s Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness

Miyazaki Prefectural Nursing University, Miyazaki, Japan

Nursing praxis was explored from the perspective of one Newman scholar. She shared her evolving perspectives on research as a doctoral candidate and as a member of a hospital-based praxis team she went on to develop with colleagues focusing on women with cancer. Using Newman’s research method, the team interviewed families regarding meaningful persons and events in their lives. They then conducted another study in the form of action research. The praxis team found that Newman’s theory resonated throughout nursing practice. Newman nursing praxis integrates theory, practice, and research.

Key Words: Newman’s theory • nursing research • nursing theory-based research
