Martha Rogers

Martha Rogers was an influential American nurse and theorist known for her work in nursing science. She developed the "Science of Unitary Human Beings" theory, which views humans and their environment as interconnected systems. Rogers emphasized the importance of understanding patients holistically, considering their physical, emotional, and spiritual health in relation to their surroundings. Her ideas encouraged nurses to focus on caring and the therapeutic process rather than just treating diseases. Rogers’ contributions have been foundational in modern nursing education and practice, promoting a more comprehensive approach to patient care.
