She earned her PhD at New York University in 1972, where she studied
with Martha Rogers
She served as a director of nursing at a clinical research center, and taught
nursing at Penn State University (1977-1984) and at University ofMinnesota (1984-1996)
In 1978 Dr. Newman began to articulate her ideas on the theory of health
in nursing.

According to Newmans theory, no matter how terrible a personssituation, the person can tune into their own self-consciousness andbecome one with herself or himself and find a greater meaning andopportunity for connectedness with others.
Consciousness = informational capacity of the system System = the human being
Interconnectedness of all living organisms
Health and Illness as a unitary process
Health and evolving pattern of consciousness are the same
Persons are identified by their pattern ( the pattern of health and disease)

Many of Newman's thoughts came from the work of Martha Rogers Defined energy fields as the fundamental unit of living things
Person, family and environment exist as an interconnected, unitary
whole
A unitary human being is pandimensional and is manifested by
characteristics that are specific to the whole and which cannot be
predicted from knowledge of the parts (Rogers, 1990, as quoted in Pharris,2005, p. 218)

Margaret Newman wrote many articles describing and refining her
theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness
In her article The Pattern that Connects, she describes the nature
and development of nursing knowledge:
Development of nursing knowledge has evolved from an emphasis on parts to
focus on the unitary pattern as a whole.Praxis research with the intent of
pattern recognition reveals the nature of nursing practice focus on pattern
represents a shift to a higher dimension which includes and transcends
previous nursing knowledge (Newman, 2002).

Health encompasses diseaseand non-disease states
When disease is present, it isa manifestation of theunderlying pattern of theperson
This pattern is present beforethe physiological changes ofthe disease are manifested
Health is the expansion ofconsciousness
(Newman, 1979, as quoted inPharris, 2005, p. 219)
According to Newman, health andillness are expressions of the lifeprocess
Are NOT opposite ends of aspectrum
Are NOT opposite sides of acoin
A world of opposites is aworld of conflict (Newman,2003, p. 240)
At the highest level ofconsciousness, all opposites
are reconciled (Newman,2003, p. 241)

Our nursing responsibility is to help patients let go of the artificial boundaries they haveimposed on their lives and get in touch with the whole (Newman, 2003).
-Parts of a persons underlying pattern, that emerge from interaction:
-Physical signs and appearances
-Mental/cognitive insights
-Emotional expressions
-Spiritual insights
-Nurses must strive for pattern recognition and knowing the patient on a
deep level
-Nurseclient relationship often begins in times of disruption, uncertainty,
and unpredictability-Newman recognizes that nurses are change by their interactions with
patients,just as patients are changed by their interactions with the nurses.

I try to maintain awareness of not only how I am affecting my patient, but to also
reflect on how all of my patients affect me. This attitude keeps me open toconnecting in new situations and to many kinds of people. It helps me to try and
focus on the whole person, not just their current condition. (Julie Kalendek)
Each day by encouraging my patients to give it their all, and reach a higher power
to recover from their heart surgery. Giving them positive reinforcement, letting
them know that each day will get better, giving them hope that they can live a full
life, once they make it through the recuperation period. This encouragement helps
my patients connect with their inner strength and inner being and helps them
move on. (Lisa Little)
"Keeping a positive attitude in the work field, and applying a holistic approach tomy field to help patient's get through tough moments, making sure they know that
I am here for them" (Nattallie Masso)

It is time to break with a paradigm of health that focuses on power,manipulation, and control and move to one of reflective, compassionate
consciousness(Newman, 1997, as quoted in Pharris, 2005, p. 220).
