Crystallizing The Processes Of The Unitary Field Pattern Portrait Research Method, Howard Butcher
Crystallizing The Processes Of The Unitary Field Pattern Portrait Research Method, Howard Butcher
Howard K. Butcher
Research methods must be consistent with the Science of Unitary Human Beings if one is to study irreducible human beings in mutual process within a pandimensional universe. The Unitary Field Pattern Portrait (UFPP) research method was developed from the criteria of Rogerian inquiry and is a hermeneutic/phenomenological research method designed to create a unitary understanding of the dynamic kaleidoscopic and symphonic pattern manifestations emerging from the pandimensional human/environmental mutual process to enhance understanding of significant phenomena related to human wellbeing. The development of the Unitary Field Pattern Portrait (UFPP) research method has been described in detail (Butcher, 1994a, 1994b). The …

A Thematic Analysis Of Korean Family Caregivers' Experiences In Making The Decision To Place A Family Member With Dementia In A Long-Term Care Facility, M. Park, Howard Butcher, Meridean Maas
Howard K. Butcher
The purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth description of 19 Korean family caregivers' experiences in making the decision to place a family member with dementia in a Korean long-term care facility. A total of 656 themes (descriptive statements) were identified and synthesized into 17 topics using Luborsky's method for thematic analysis. The topics were synthesized into four patterns: (a) feeling exhausted; (b) deep sorrow; (c) fractured relationships; and (d) apprehension. The findings enhance the capacity of health care professionals and the public to understand more fully, how caregiving experiences differ by cultural context. The findings contribute to …

Thematic Analysis Of The Experience Of Making A Decision To Place A Family Member With Alzheimer's Disease In A Special Care Unit, Howard Butcher, P. Holkup, M. Park, Meridean Maas
Howard K. Butcher
The purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth description of the experience of making the decision to place a family member in a special care unit among a diverse sample of family caregivers. To achieve purposive maximum variation of the sample, the sample of 30 family caregivers was chosen from an original study of 256 family caregivers. The sample was randomly stratified according to ethnicity, gender, and relationship to the care receiver. Three independent researchers used Luborsky's method of thematic analysis to analyze the interviews. After mutual consensus, 1565 themes (descriptive statements) were identified and synthesized into 21 …
Portraits Of Caregivers Of End-Stage Dementia Patients Receiving Hospice Care, S. Sanders, Howard Butcher, P. Swails, J. Power
Portraits Of Caregivers Of End-Stage Dementia Patients Receiving Hospice Care, S. Sanders, Howard Butcher, P. Swails, J. Power
Howard K. Butcher
The purpose of this study was to investigate how caregivers respond to the end stages of dementia with the assistance from hospice. Data were collected from 27 family caregivers over the course of 10 months, with each caregiver being interviewed up to 4 times during the time that the patient received hospice care. Chart review data were also collected. Four distinct caregiver portraits emerged: (a) disengaged; (b) questioning; (c) all-consumed; and (d) reconciled. Caregivers in each portrait differed in how they responded to the impending death of the care recipient, the disease progression, and hospice care. Recognizing the differences in …

Depression And Dispiritedness In Later Life: A 'Gray Drizzle Of Horror' Isn't Inevitable, Howard Butcher, M. Mcgonigal-Kenney
Depression And Dispiritedness In Later Life: A 'Gray Drizzle Of Horror' Isn't Inevitable, Howard Butcher, M. Mcgonigal-Kenney
Howard K. Butcher
The misconception that aging and depression are inevitably entwined is not only common but also dangerous. It can lead to a variety of adverse events, which might have been avoided had the depression been recognized and treated. However, recognizing depression in older adults can be difficult as it may present differently in this population than it does in younger adults. Furthermore, while treatment options are similar, adjustments may need to be made to deal with the physiological changes inherent to age. The authors address the recognition and treatment of depression in older adults. They also propose a diagnosis of dispiritedness, …

The Overview Effect: The Impact Of Space Exploration On The Evolution Of Nursing Science, Howard Butcher, C. Forchuk
The Overview Effect: The Impact Of Space Exploration On The Evolution Of Nursing Science, Howard Butcher, C. Forchuk
Howard K. Butcher
The purpose of this article is to explore the overview effect, an experience evoked by space travel that has the capacity to transform all patterns of human existence and evolution toward greater potentials in human diversity and creativity. As nurses migrate with humanity into the solar system and beyond, they will experience the overview effect. The core components of the effect include changed perceptions of space, time, sound, and weight which have the potential to transform the evolution of nursing science. Nursing paradigms will encompass a view of humanity as integral with an infinite evolutionary universe. After generations of living …

Living In The Doldrums: The Lived Experience Of Dispiritedness In Later Life, Howard Butcher, M. Mcgonigal-Kenney
Howard K. Butcher
This phenomenological investigation sought to enhance understanding of the experience of dispiritedness by providing a rich and vivid description of the essential structure of the experience in later life. van Manen's hermeneutic-phenomenological method was used to analyze the transcribed texts of 11 individuals who identified themselves as being in "later life" (mean age = 73, age range = 52 to 93) and who participated in phenomenological interviews focusing on describing the experience of dispiritedness. Statements describing the experience of dispiritedness were sorted into 21 thematic categories that were synthesized into 7 essential themes that described the structure of the lived …

A Unitary Field Pattern Portrait Of Dispiritedness In Later Life, Howard Butcher
Howard K. Butcher
The purpose of this investigation was to enhance theory and understanding of the phenomenon of dispiritedness in later life within the context of Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings using a research method congruent with the ontological and epistemological tenets of Rogers' nursing science. Eleven persons 52 to 92 years of age who identified themselves as being in later life and having experienced dispiritedness participated in a 40 to 70 minute in-depth interview which focused on their experiences, perceptions, and expressions of dispiritedness. A field pattern profile was created for each participant. The unitary field pattern portrait of dispiritedness in …

Unitary Pattern-Based Praxis: A Nexus Of Rogerian Cosmology, Philosophy, And Science [Corrected] [Published Erratum Appears In Visions 2008;15(1):28], Howard Butcher
Howard K. Butcher
Unitary pattern-based praxis is a nexus of Rogerian cosmology, philosophy, and science designed to inform practice/research using the praxis processes of pattern manifestation knowing-appreciation and voluntary mutual patterning. The unitary pattern-based praxis model is: an explication of Rogerian cosmology, ontology, epistemology, aesthetics, ethics, postulates, principles, and selected theories; a fusion of cosmology, philosophy, and science with the pattern manifestation knowing-appreciation and voluntary mutual patterning praxis processes for use in both research and patient care contexts; a syntheses Barrett's and Cowling's Rogerian practice methodologies into one comprehensive model; and, a model that places the unitary field pattern portrait research method within …
