“…These care providers corroborated what the nurses in the two previous studies explained about intentionality in healing (Zahourek, 2005, 2015). First, intentionality occurs in a reciprocal and energetic relationship.…”

“…The two previous grounded theory studies (Zahourek, 2004, 2005, 2015), the current study, and related research and literature provide a systematic theoretical database that contribute to the growing understanding of, and appreciation for, the role of intentionality and intention in healing and expand our understanding of core concepts in holistic nursing. Awareness of the reciprocal nature of dynamic differentiation may enable a person’s increasing sensitivity to their own process of growth and, thereby, enhance their capacity to be fully present with self and another.…”

“…The author’s first two grounded theory studies included two cohorts of nurses (male and female groups) and female care recipients (total 23 participants) and yielded a theory, IMH (Zahourek, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2015, 2016). Intentionality was studied in the positive context of caring and healing.…”

“…The second study with men in nursing largely supported the above concepts. In contrast with the women, the men emphasized the importance of action and described the impact of their changing careers into nursing in later life (Zahourek, 2015, 2016).…”

Purpose: To explore and conceptualize the nature of intentionality in the context of healing through the descriptive experiences of nonnurse professional care providers and natural healers and to determine if the previously developed theory (intentionality: the matrix of healing [IMH]) was supported or needed revision. Method: Ten care providers and two natural healers were interviewed. Data were analyzed using a modified grounded theory—constant comparative method. Coding, memos, diagraming, and concept development were used to compare these results with the previous two cohorts. The study had institutional review board approval. Results: The theory of IMH was supported. All cohorts agreed that intentionality is essential for healing and similar to, but different from and greater than, intention. The core process of nonlinear expanding personal development, viewed as both an attribute and the core process, is now called dynamic differentiation. The theory IMH describes intentionality as a dynamically evolving process that creates the energy, shape, and structure, or matrix, for intention, actions, and healing.

“…One has and creates intentions but one is intentionality. This theory was developed through qualitative research with cohorts of male and female nurses and female patients (Zahourek, 2004(Zahourek, , 2005(Zahourek, , 2015 and has now been expanded and tested with a cohort of male and female multi-disciplinary caregivers.…”

The purpose of this article is to amplify the results section of a grounded theory study on how men in nursing view and experience intention, intentionality, caring, and healing. This is the second grounded theory study addressing intentionality in healing. The first study included a female population. The theory that was generated-Intentionality: The Matrix of Healing (IMH)-is examined with these new data. The results are compared with issues generally faced by men in nursing and how they described their beliefs and experiences with intentionality and healing. The theory (IMH) is supported; the importance of action in this cohort was an additional emphasis. This article provides an expanded view of men in nursing and their experiences as nurses and with intentionality, caring, and healing and has implications for the development of holistic nursing theory as well.

Abstract: The theory is substantiated with minor changes in emphases. Further study is warranted to expand the understanding of this basic concept in nursing and healing.
