Health: A Personal Commitment

Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, RN; PHD

Hunter College of CUNY. New York, NY

Health as a personal commitment is a view that evolves from Parse's theory of man-living-health. This article describes different models of human nature and explains health from the perspectives of each, de scribes a view of health from the man-living-health theory supported by other contemporary works, and posits some implications for nursing practice and research related to this view of health. The author elabo rates on ways human beings move beyond the moment to change pat terns of health through creative imagining, affirming self, and sponta neous glimpsing of the paradoxical. The meaning of true presence is discussed as well as some basic suggestions for the study of phenomena using the Parse research methodology.

Key Words: Parse's theory • Man-living-health • True pres ence • Health
