| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Martha Rogers born | May 12, 1914 |
| Martha Rogers died | March 13, 1994 |
| What is SUHB Theory | The Unitary human being is irreducible, indivisible, pandimensional energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics specific to the whole, not predicted by knowing the parts. |
| How many major concepts are there | Four concepts |
| What are the four concepts | Energy fields,open systems,pattern and pandimensionality. |
| What is energy field | The fundamental unit of living and non-living. Human beings and environment are energy fields that are infinite and pandimensional. |
| What is open systems | Universe of open systems hold that energy fields are infinite, open and integral within each other with the human and environmental field open systems in continuous interactive process. |
| Define Pattern | Identifies energy fields. Nature of the pattern is innovatively and constantly changing as manifested by unique human-environmental mutual process. |
| Define Pandimensionality | Nonlinear infinite domain or energy fields without spatial or temporal attributes. |
| Describe major assumptions in nursing | Encompasses people and their environments. |
| Describe assumptions in person | Open systems in continuous process with the integral environment. |
| Assumptions in health | Promotion of rhythmic consistency according to some inherent value system. |
| Assumptions in environment | Energy field specific to its given human field changing continuously and characterized by increasing diversity. |
| What are the principles of Homeodynamics (change) | Helicy,Resonancy,integrality |
| Describe Helicy | The spiral development in continuous innovative, unpredictable, nonrepeating, increasing diversity of human-environmental field patterns. |
| Define Resonancy | The patterning changes with development from lower to higher frequency wave patterns in human and environmental fields with varying degree of intensity. |
| Integrality | The continuous mutual human field and environmental field process. |
| What are the major theoretical assertions | Human beings are a unified whole with own integrity and characteristics more than and different from sum of his parts. |
| Theoretical assertion | Human beings and environment are constantly exchanging energy with one another. |
| Theoretical assertion | Life process evolves irreversibly and unidirectionally along space-time continuum. |
| Theoretical assertion | Pattern and organization identify human beings and reflects his innovative wholeness. |
| Theoretical assertion | Human beings are characterized by the capacity for abstraction and imagery, language, thought, sensation and emotions. |
