Since 1978 when Margaret Newman first introduced her theory of health as expanding consciousness, the theory has been widely expanded upon by Newman and nursing scholars around the world. This manuscript provides an integrative review of research related to the theory of health as expanding consciousness and analyzes strengths, limitations, and directions for the future. A consistent method of praxis within a unitary, participatory worldview was found. Health as expanding consciousness praxis provides a lens for guiding and interpreting meaning and has cross-cultural appeal and utility.
