title: Quality of life: sciencing and living the art of human becoming.
abstract: Quality of life, from the person's perspective, is the goal of the human becoming theory. Thus far, research on quality of life has been implemented from a totality paradigm perspective, excluding consideration of the human as a unitary being. The most valuable conclusion to be drawn from all the research is that quality of life cannot be quantified. This article specifies a different meaning of quality of life and points out ways of sciencing and living the art of nursing when quality of life is the goal.
