Energy field
• It is inevitable part of life. Human and
environment both have energy field which is
open i.e. energy can freely flow between
human and environment
Openness
• There is no boundary or barrier that can
inhibit the flow of energy between human and
environment which leads to the continuous
movement or matter of energy.
Pattern
• Pattern is defined as the distinguishing
characteristic of an energy field perceived as a
single waves
• "pattern is an abstraction and it gives identity
to the field"
Pan dimensionality

Nursing
1. Unitary Human Being (person)
• A unitary human being is open systems which
continuously interact with environment. A
person cannot be viewed as parts, it should be
considered as a whole.
2. Environment
• It includes the entire energy field other than a
person.
• These energy fields are irreducible, not limited
by space and time, identified by its pattern
and organization.
3. Health
• Not clearly defined by Rogers. It is determined by the
interaction between energy fields i.e. human and
environments.
• Bad interaction or misplacing of energy leads to
illness.
4. Nursing
• Nursing exists to serve people.
• Nursing is both science and art.
• It is the direct and overriding responsibility to the
society

Clinical practice
• Nursing action is always focused on unitary human
being and change the energy field between human
and environment.
• Nursing action include all non-invasive actions
such as guided imaginary, humor, therapeutic
touch, music etc. which are used to increase the
potential of human field.
• The more importance should be on the
management of pain, supportive therapy and
rehabilitation.
• Example in nursing care plan:
• Ritu 22 years old female was admitted in
psychiatric hospital with severe depression
secondary to diagnosis of ovarian malignancy. She
became tearfull while history taking. Ritu was
accompanied by her husband and 1 year old child.
Her husband appear anxious but supportive. Ritu
was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2 month ago
and underwent surgery for same. From past three
week ritu started sitting alone, decreased activity
of daily living, repeated crying spells, decreased
talk, decreased sleep, neglecting her child care,
and also attempted suicide.
Nursing education
• Emphasis should be given on the
understanding of the patient and self, energy
field and environment.
• Example :
Training should lay more focus on teaching
non-invasive modalities such as therapeutic
touch, meditation, humor, regular in service
education programme etc.
Research
• Rogerian theory has been used in many research
works and has always found testable and applicable
in research.
• Example:-
