Newman’s theory views health as a process of expansion of the consciousness and not the lack of the healing process or illness. On the other hand, the relational theory views health as a means of identification and understanding relationships to ensure good health. A major parallel observed between the relational inquiry theory and Newman’s theory is that Newman’s theory is focused on an individual who may not be suffering,whereas the relational approach has its practice centered on the patient. According to Newman’s theory, health is not regarded as the absence of sickness or a process of an individual being healthy; instead, health entails an opportunity of one expanding on their consciousness as a result of the choices that they make(Younas & Quennell, 2019). The relational theory, on the other hand, is focused on establishment of a therapeutic relationship between the patient and the nurse hence comprehending the core reason behind the patient’s suffering. Another parallel between the two theories is that the relational approach is committed in the nurse patient relationship, while the Newman theory only favors the primacy aspect of relationships (Rasheed et al., 2019).
