A Nursing Position on Global Healthcare: Our Commitment to Humankind

Whereas

  • individuals make choices that express personal meaning and value priorities;

  • there is compelling evidence to ensure that the perspective of persons, families, and communities is a driving force in decision-making;

  • individuals consistently indicate that they want nurses to listen to, act on, and respect their wishes, concerns, and priorities for living quality;

  • living quality unfolds uniquely with each individual and community;

  • the humanbecoming paradigm provides guidance for nurses and other health professionals involved in research, practice, education, and administration;

  • sciencing and living the art of humanbecoming aims to enhance understanding of universal living experiences;

  • the humanbecomiung paradigm is the only nursing theoretical perspective that focuses exclusively on honoring personal views of living quality for the individual and community;

Be it resolved that

  • we the undersigned will promote the humanbecoming paradigm with sciencing and living the art of humanbecoming in diverse communities around the world.
