Öz

Many of the nursing theories have been tested; it has been proven by research that it has a great contribution to improving the quality of health care, expanding understanding in nursing research, and ensuring the development of societies with professional practices based on biopsychosocial approaches. In this context, this review article includes the analysis and evaluation of the nursing theories Pamela G. Reed's "Self-Transcendence Theory". For this, Fawcett's "Framework for the analysis and evaluation of nursing theories" was used. According to this structure, the analysis includes a non-judgmental, detailed examination of the theory, including "the scope of the theory, the context of the theory, and the content of the theory"; evaluation is within the scope of "importance, internal consistency, simplicity, testability, empirical competence and pragmatic competencies of the theory"; it was made in a way to answer the questions under each scope. The theorist of the theory is a psychiatric nurse, and the skills related to the application of the theory are in accordance with the nature of psychiatric nursing. When the literature is examined, no article has been found in our country that defines, analyzes and evaluates Self-Transcendence Theory. In this sense, it is thought that this article will contribute to the creation of useful models based on nursing theories in order to filling this gap in the field and facilitate the recognition, understanding and use of the theory.

Pamela G. Reed’in Öz Aşkınlık Kuramı Analiz ve Değerlendirmesi

Öz

Hemşirelik kuramlarının birçoğu test edilmiş; sağlık bakımında kaliteyi artırma, hemşirelik araştırmalarında anlamayı genişletme ve biyopsikososyal yaklaşımlara dayalı profesyonel uygulamalarla toplumların gelişimini sağlama konusunda büyük katkıları olduğu araştırmalarla kanıtlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda bu derleme makalesinde, hemşirelik kuramlarından Pamela G. Reed’ in “Öz Aşkınlık Kuramı” nın analiz edilmesi ve değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için Fawcett’ in “Hemşirelik kuramlarının analizi ve değerlendirilmesi için çerçeve” si kullanılmıştır. Bu yapıya göre analiz “kuramın kapsamı, kuramın bağlamı ve kuramın içeriği” dahil olmak üzere kuramın yargılayıcı olmayan, ayrıntılı bir incelemesini içermektedir. Değerlendirme “kuramın önem, iç tutarlılık, sadelik, test edilebilirlik, ampirik yeterlilik ve pragmatik yeterlilikleri” kapsamında olup; her bir kapsamın altında yer alan sorulara yanıt oluşturacak şekilde yapılmıştır. Kuramın teorisyeni psikiyatri hemşiresi olup, kuramın uygulanmasına ilişkin beceriler psikiyatri hemşireliğinin doğasına uygundur. Alanyazın incelendiğinde ülkemizde, Öz Aşkınlık Kuramı’ nı tanımlayan, analiz eden ve değerlendiren herhangi bir makaleye rastlanmamıştır. Bu anlamda alandaki bu boşluğun doldurulması, kuramın tanınması, anlaşılması ve kullanımını kolaylaştırmak amacıyla bu makalenin yararlı ve hemşirelik kuramlarına temellendirilmiş modellerin oluşturulmasında katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
