Rogers was born in 1914 in Dallas, Texas. She received her nursing diploma from Knowville General Hospital School of Nursing in 1936, then eamed her Public Health ursing degree from George Peabody College in Tennessee in 1937.

Rogers’ theory of Unitary Human Beings includes the entire energy field other than the person. These energy fields are not limited by space and time, rather identified by its organization and pattern. THE SCIENCE OF UNITARY HUMAN BEINGS ‘The belief of the coexistence of the human and the environment has greatly influenced the process of change toward better health. In short, a patient cannot be separated ‘rom his or her environment when addressing health and treatment. This view led and opened Martha Rogers’ theory, known as the “Science of Unitary Human Beings,” which allowed nursing to be considered one of the scientific disciplines. Rogers’ theory defined Nursing as an art and science that is humanistic and humanitarian. It is directed toward the unitary human and is concerned with the nature and irection of human development. The goal of nurses is to participate in the process of change. According to Rogers, the Science of Unitary Human Beings contains two dimensions: the science of nursing, which is the knowledge specific to th that comes from scientific research; and the art of nursing, which invo of nursing creatively to help better the life of the patient, ‘The assumptions of Rogers’ Science of Unitary Human Bei 1.
