  • Title: A comparison of two nursing theories in practice: Peplau and Parse.
    Author: McCarthy CT, Aquino-Russell C.
    Journal: Nurs Sci Q; 2009 Jan; 22(1):34-40. PubMed ID: 19176858.
    Abstract:
    This column illuminates nursing practice through two unique theoretical perspectives: Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations and Parse's theory of humanbecoming. Processes of each practice method will be explicated as each is related to a practice scenario. The key differences between Peplau's and Parse's practice methodologies are identified. Nursing is a unique, evolving, everchanging profession for which theory can be used as a guide for practice. This column demonstrates two of these unique theories. Whether through health promotion or quality of life from the person's perspective, theory provides meaning in nursing practice and in everyday life.
