Nurs Sci Q. 2010 Jan;23(1):47-54. doi: 10.1177/0894318409353797.

Abstract

The theory of power as knowing participation in change was derived from Rogers' science of unitary human beings. Following testing and research of the theory and measurement instrument, a practice methodology was developed and the health patterning practice model was initiated. Further developments of the theory are presented and future speculations are proposed.
