PHILOSOPHY The philosophy of the Depart- ment of Nursing is in agreement with that or th e University. As such, we believe nursi ng is concern ed with th e individual's total being. Each indi vi d- ual is a synerg ist ic being, an inte- grated whole , unique ly created in God's image with inherent dignity and worth. The enuy of si n into th e world has placed a constraint on the i11clivic!ual's wholeness which can only be remedied by the power and love of Goel through faith in Jesus Christ. God has created each individual as a dynamic being endowed with a capac- ity for growth and development with the right to make decisions wh ich influence this wholeness.
Each indi vidual, created as a social being , requires social interac- tion to achieve and maintain whole- ness. The family within the contex t of its culture is the fundam ental unit through which the socia li zation process is advanced. We believe caring is th e essence of nursing. The focus or nursi ng activity is th e three human interactional sys- tems and the dynamic interacti on between them within the context of th eir environment. These three sys- tems (intrapersonal, interpersonal and community) also are in teracting con- stantlywith internal and external st res- sors which may affect the integrity of the systems. It is our 1iew that the pur- pose of nursing is to support and pro- mote adaptive processes that fac ili tate the system's ab il ity lj) ac hi eve and maintain adaptive equilibri um. This is accomplished through use of the nurs- ing process which is ongo in g and inrnl ves assess ing, di agnosi ng, plan- ning, impl ementing and evaluating. This process enabl es th e nurse to work with client systems at va11,ing locations on the health-illness continuum. Nursi ng is a dynamic profess ion based on a growing body of scientifi c knowledge. Behaviora l, biological, and physical sciences have been fun- damental to the del'e lopment of nu rs- ing's own unique body of knowledge. Nur si ng is both art and sc ience; it s uniqueness does not reside in any spe- cific component of theory or act ion , but can be found only in the whole. As one of the major health care pro- fess ions, we believe nursing is account- able to society for provision of quality heahJ1 care sen1ces. Nursing endeal'ors to meet il1is responsibi li ty through: I. independent practice; 2. col laborative activities wit h clients and other health care profes- sionals; and 3. involvement in research to improve clinical practi ce and further the development of nursing science. In a rapidly changing world, ade- quate and equitable delivel)' of health care is a criti cal problem. We believe that eq ual access to health care se1vices is the right of eve11• individual in soc i- ety. Through its unique contribution , nursing can and must be an effec ti ve social force in promo ti ng the quality and avai lability of health care sen1ces. To effect posi tive changes nurses must be invo ll'ec! in all aspects of the health care delivc1)' system, including th e leg-
