Death as a Transformation of Wholeness: An "Aha" Experience of Health as Expanding Consciousness

Barbara L. Zust, RN, PhD

Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota

A nurse-patient clinical experience is presented from a unitary transformative perspective. The experience is interpreted through Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness. A brief description of Newman's theory is given in order to provide the reader with Newman's key terms and fundamental philosophical principles. The nursepatient healing partnership is explained using Newman's terminology and theory of health as expanding consciousness. The purpose of this article is to advance the critical importance of uncompromised and nonfragmented nursing care in partnership with the irreducible whole person.

Key Words: consciousness • Newman • partnership with patients • transformative experience
