Abstract

In Martha E. Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings the purpose of nursing is to promote the health and well-being of all people. Health in Rogerian science is viewed as eudaimonistic, evolving well-being which involves actualizing desired health promoting potentials with power as knowing participation in change. This study examined how traditional and Ericksonian hypnotherapeutic support groups facilitated self defined health promoting goals and power as knowing participation in change for 49 participants with chronic physical illness.
