Quality of Life: Sciencing and Living the Art of Human Becoming
Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, RN; PhD; FAAN
Loyola University Chicago, IL
Quality of life, from the person's perspective, is the goal of the human becoming theory. Thus far, research on quality of life has been implemented from a totality paradigm perspective, excluding consideration of the human as a unitary being. The most valuable conclusion to be drawn from all the research is that quality of life cannot be quantified. This article specifies a different meaning of quality of life and points out ways of sciencing and living the art of nursing when quality of life is the goal.
Key Words: Human Becoming • Parse's Theory • Quality of Life
