Review of 2007-2020 Humanbecoming Guided Studies and Investigations

Abstract

The authors in this article provide a review and synthesis of 46 studies and investigations that were published between 2007 to 2020 that were guided by the everchanging humanbecoming paradigm. Moreover, the authors present details and a synthesis of published studies using the Parse research method and humanbecoming hermeneutic method as well as the extant Parsesciencing and humanbecoming hermeneutic sciencing investigations published up to the date of December 31, 2020. The article builds on the previous review conducted by Doucet and Bournes in 2007, which addressed studies conducted from 1985-2006. Newknowings for the enhancement of the everchanging humanbecoming paradigm and the discipline of nursing are provided for scholars to ponder.

Paradoxes in Humanbecoming Hermeneutic Sciencing

“…The goal of the method was to identify "emergent meanings of human experiences through a study of texts and artforms" (Parse, 2001, p. 172). Kabigting and Shaughnessy (2022) offer readers a brief synopsis of the evolution of this method of inquiry to the extant humanbecoming hermeneutic sciencing. Parse (2016) described humanbecoming hermeneutic sciencing as focusing on the "interpretation and understanding that unfolds in the dialoging-engaging of scholars with text or artform" (p. 129).…”

A Humanbecoming Perspective on Art and Sciencing

“…These myriad artistic expressions, which are an aspect of every Parsesciencing mode of inquiry, fortify knowledge within the humanbecoming paradigm and, by extension, the discipline of nursing itself. Readers are directed to Kabigting and Shaughnessy’s (2022) review of humanbecoming literature for more examples of artistic expressions used in the humanbecoming paradigm. As Parse (1992) concluded, the art must “reflect the science of nursing, not some other science” (p. 147).…”
