Theory of Human Becoming in nursing ecology: applying Meleis´s evaluation method

The objective was to conduct a reflection on the Theory of Human Becoming Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, as well as designing a theoretical framework applied to the process of caring in nursing ecological. It is a research and interpretative critical reflection, which used the evaluation method proposed by Meleis, restricted to the stage of description, which considers the identification of structural and functional components. This strategy allowed us to subsidize the reflection of the interpretive theory of Becoming Human Ecology in the context of nursing. Thus, it was possible to direct attention to the meanings of health and quality of life of the individual, the prioritization of values and nursing care in the area of ecology.
