Pan-
Concepts Openness
dimensionality
Pattern
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
Person
Environment
Health
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
