• Resumen

  • In this article, the authors demonstrate the value of using Newman�s theory of health as expanding consciousness for nurses and the clients they serve. A review of the conception and evolution of the theory and its link to spiritual ideology provides a multi-dimensional perspective of Newman�s ideas. Additionally, an exploration of the central concepts of the theory offers an in- depth view of the philosophical and practical tenets on which the theory is based. The authors also chronicle one nurse�s journey and evolution as a healthcare provider whose practice is rooted in Newman�s theory.
