DIAZ HEREDIA, Luz Patricia e RODRIGUEZ-PUENTE, Linda Azucena. Analysis and evaluation of the Theory of Self-transcendence. Index Enferm [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1-2, pp.75-79. Epub 25-Abr-2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Self-transcendence is a middle-range theory that aims to understand and explain well-being in adulthood, during the growth process, or in momentous life experiences. This theory is frequently used in the nursing literature, so it is considered appropriate to analyze and evaluate it. The purpose of this work was to analyze and evaluate the Theory of Self-transcendence, using the criteria proposed by Fawcett. The scope, context and content were analyzed and their significance, internal consistency, parsimony, verifiability, empirical adequacy and pragmatic adequacy were evaluated. It is concluded that the theory is useful and applicable in various populations, and in different moments and situations of life and is a significant reference for nursing since it presents solid internal consistency, it is parsimonious, its applicability and pragmatism have been demonstrated, and it has shown solidity in its propositions and concepts.
