Engagement (SHSTTNE)

 Interconnectivity
 Interconnectivity is a
principle of human
interconnectedness of
energy. Energy is
continuously moving from
“subatomic particles to the
biosphere, including the
planet Earth, all forming a
whole”
 Interconnectivity leads
to the understanding of
holism that the bio-
psycho-social-spiritual
dimensions of persons
are interrelated and that
the whole being is more
than the sum of its
organs or systems.

 Applying the principle of interconnectivity through

Interpersonal Relating (IR), Technological Knowing
(TK), Rhythmical Connecting (RC) & Transformational
Engaging (TE).

4
Equitability is a principle of justice and fairness
in human caring across healthcare systems. It
revolves around the value-based concept of equity
implying fairness in access to health care related to
the situated context despite differences in
methods, utilization, and outcomes
 In applying equitability, the nurse is cognizant of
the difference between equality and equity.

5
Emancipation is a principle of liberating the self
and others from the limits of human-space-time
realities.
 The human-space-time realities of health care
could include human factors or attributes such
as fear, shame, lack of communication skills,
lack of knowledge, powerlessness and human
resources.

 In the application of the NEP, to emancipate is to

know what the nurse can know, doing what one can
do, and be with the patient in the present given the
limitations of the HST.

6
Human transcendence indicates personal growth
of persons and professional growth among nurses.

 Pharris (2015) described the characteristics of

growth as “assertion of self, to emancipation of
self, to transcendence of self”.

 “
“When people transcend their
own egos, dedicate their energy
to something greater than the
individual self, and learn to build
order against the trend of
disorder” (Pharris, 2015)
