The theory of humanbecoming can be illuminated through utilizing popular literature as a situation study. The living experience of Morrie Schwartz as related in Tuesdays with Morrie, serves as exemplar for lingering presence, the emerging now, and the three themes of meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence. This exemplar formed the basis for an educational session for graduate nursing students in a nursing theory course. The response to this teaching methodology suggests popular literature can be used successfully in teaching nursing theory.
通过将通俗文学用作案例研究，可以阐释人类成长理论。《相约星期二》中所讲述的莫里·施瓦茨的生活经历，是持久存在、当下浮现以及意义、韵律和超越这三个主题的典范。这个典范构成了护理理论课程中研究生护理学生教育课程的基础。对这种教学方法的反馈表明，通俗文学可以成功地用于护理理论教学。
