Background on Theorist - Pamela Reed  Born in Detroit, Michigan  Baccalaureate degree from Wayne State University- 1974  Master of science in psychiatric-mental health of children and adolescents and in nursing education- 1976  PhD concentration in nursing theory and research, minor in adult development and aging- 1982  Dissertation research focused on relationship between well- being and spiritual perspectives on life and death in terminally ill and well individuals. Masters, K. (2012).

Self-Transcendence: Overview  The Theory of Self-Transcendence is a social concept theory which is based on Rogers’ Theory of Unitary Beings.  Core “philosophical belief in the enduring human potential for well-being” (Reed, 2009, p. 397).  “Individuals who face human vulnerability or mortality obtain an increased capacity for self-transcendence and its positive influence on…well-being” (Reed, 2009, p. 397 - 398).

MetaParadigm Concepts  Health – “Sense of feeling whole and healthy, in accord to one’s own criteria for wholeness and health” (Smith, et al, 2008. pp. 108)  Environment – Family, social networks, physical surroundings and community resources (Coward, 2010 as cited in Masters, 2014.pp. 75 Photo Retrieved from Daggerwing Health

MetaParadigm Concepts cont.  Human Being – Developed though life events and environments  Nursing – the assistance through interpersonal processes and therapeutic management of environments to promote health ( Coward, 2010. as cited in Masters,

  1. pp. 75)

Self-Transcendence: Analysis  Criteria  Accuracy  Simplicity/Complexity  Scope depends on the context  Acceptance  Socio-Cultural Utility but needs more research (NURS 501)

Figure 1 Gulliver (2007)

Self-Transcendence is…  To repeat: Looking beyond the “now”, beyond barriers and boundaries, looking beyond one’s self and finding perspective and meaning that might otherwise be overlooked. (Ellerman and Reed, 2001; Palmer, Quinn Griffin, Reed, & Fitzpatrick, 2010)  Capitalizing on the ability to see beyond the boundaries of the self and the environment. Using that ability during vulnerable moments to see beyond the present limitations. (Runquist & Reed, 2007)  Vulnerability can lead to self-transcendence. Self- transcendence can lead to well-being. (Palmer, Quinn Griffin, Reed, & Fitzpatrick, 2010)

Self Transcendence in Nursing Research  Research by Walsh, Lamet, Lindgren, Rillstone, Little, Steffey, Rafalko, & Sonshine (2011) reviewed the theory of self transcendence in patients with late stage Alzheimer’s Disease.  Studied the effects of self transcendence and well being as a result of creative bonding interventions

How would the study have been different without Reed’s theory?  Without theory of self transcendence the researcher's would only be able to conduct research on the second research question related to well being.  Would be difficult to analyze the patients relationship with the surrounding environment and the use of reminiscing with the patient's raw emotions without this theory

 The study provided insight for new areas of education for staff involvement and techniques to use with late stage Alzheimer's Disease.  This research used the theory of Self Transcendence to promote the use of nursing “implementation of approaches to promote well-being in people with late stage Alzheimer's Disease” (Walsh, et al, 2011. pp71).

How Nursing can help Manage Self Transcendence in Patients  Encouraging Reflection  Meditation, Prayer, Journaling  Fostering Maintenance of Meaningful Relationships  Personal and community relationships  Support Groups  Group psychotherapy
