![]() We are pleased to post the 2019 work of the Newman Theory/ Research/ Practice Society in Japan. ![]() Report from the Newman Theory/Research/Practice Society in Japan 17), the international nursing community looks to the wisdom of our colleagues in Japan for Satori. ![]() Chan School of Public Health, October 2019, p. healthcare system (The Commonwealth Fund, The New York Times, and Harvard T.H. In 2020, which the World Health Organization has declared the Year of the Nurse, and in light of Nursing being considered the most trusted profession for improving the U.S. Satori embodies understanding, enlightenment, awakening to see into one’s true nature, comprehension. Members of the society have been major contributors to international Newman Scholars Dialogues.Īs you read the following entry that the Newman Theory/ Research/ Practice Society board members Emiko Endo, Mari Mitsugi, Tomoko Miyahara and Satoko Imaizumi submitted to, you will see that they ended with words from Margaret Newman’s foreword to the Japanese edition of her book, “ Transforming Presence: The Difference that Nursing Makes.” The last word is “Satori!” The intent of the Society is to expend every effort for the development of nursing guided by Newman’s theory of health in Japanese society. In 2016, the Newman Theory/ Research/ Practice Society was established as a Japanese Nonprofit Organization (NPO) to host national study meetings, dialogues, and seminars in Japan. Endo and colleagues realized a need to share what they had learned with nursing teams throughout Japan. The personal reflection and subsequent collective dialogue revealed the ways in which not only had they and their patients been transformed, but also the influence of their transformation on the entire interprofessional team and the care environment. Nurses reflected on their pattern of relating to clients and others and how much more meaningful their practice was when rooted in nursing theory rather than simply in the medical model. In these meetings, nurses recognized transformation in their caring partnerships with patients and families and visualized ways to improve the care environment. It did not stop there.Įndo developed a process of Mutual Action Research and initiated monthly project meetings for the nurses to capture the meaning of their work as it unfolded. ![]() The process of recognizing patterns of meaning expanded from the patients, to patients and families, and eventually to nursing care teams. On one unit, a head nurse assisted her staff to recognize their own patterns as they moved through the chaos of care with clients. The praxis teams were expanded to include nurse educators, nursing graduate students, and clinical nurse specialists as co-researchers. Realizing the power of the process and the strain family members were experiencing, the nurses extended their attention to use Newman’s method with families of women with cancer. As a result of the caring partnership with Endo, who followed Newman’s theory and research method, the women reported finding greater meaning in their lives and experiencing personal growth and insight into the future.Įager to share what she had learned, Endo returned to Japan and worked with a hospital-based nursing praxis team to incorporate Newman’s theory and research method into their nursing practice with women with cancer. Endo tested Newman’s theory of health as expanding consciousness in women with ovarian cancer in Japan. This work began in the 1990s when Emiko Endo was a PhD student studying with nurse theorist, Margaret Newman, PhD, RN, FAAN. What is meaningful practice? How might we create a meaningful care environment? The Newman Theory/Research/Practice Society in Japan sent the team an update on their efforts to provide transformative nursing theory-guided care for patients in Japan, and a mutual action research process they created for nursing teams to reflect on meaningful practice and shape meaningful care environments.
