Description

The struggle to understand Rogers' view of nursing as a science has not been easy, particularly when the language has been paradoxical at times. As we know, Rogers herself found fault with certain terminology and frequently deleted or added terms to strengthen her work and make it more easily appreciable. A great many of the semantic difficulties encountered by Rogers appear to be linked with the idea of "acausality" (note this term cannot be found in the Webster's English dictionary). When the nature of change is discussed as "continuous, relative, and innovative" (Rogers, 1992, p. 31), underlying this nature of change is the premise of acausality. Rogers (1992) noted that "in a universe of open systems, causality is not an option" (p. 30). The conclusion drawn is essentially that if all is integral, causality is invalid and change is continuously innovative and creative (Rogers, 1992).
