Description/Overview: The artistic renderings of hope emerged to illuminate the findings of basic nursing research as a guide to practice. Hope as a universal lived experience of health within the Human Becoming School of Thought was studied using the Parse Phenomenological Research Method. The author of the nursing research on hope and a Native American artist collaborated to develop artistic images to illuminate the meaning of hope. The author provided the word art and the Native American artist, provided the visual art. Hope, from the qualitative research findings of ten dialogical engagements with Native Americans, was revealed as transfiguring enlightenment arising with engaging affiliations, as encircling the legendary surfaces with fortification. The three core concepts comprising the structure were (a) transfiguring enlightenment, (b) engaging affiliations, and (c) encircling the legendary with fortification. The ten participants, in telling their stories, brought to light the meaning of hope. The author orally told the Native American artist the ten stories and the artist created ten visuals, out of which three visuals were chosen to best illuminate the three core concepts of hope. These three images are presented in this poster presentation. The implications for the practice of nursing includes its impact on the nurse’s own search for the good way and a higher-deeper plane of existence, and the nurse’s authentic presence with persons experiencing vicissitudes and slings and arrows of the human earth-plane existence.
Learner Objective #1: The nurse will weave the artistic renderings of hope with their own search for the good way and a higher-deeper plane of existence.
Learner Objective #2: The nurse will integrate the artistic renderings of hope toward being authentically in true presence with persons experiencing vicissitudes and slings and arrows of the human earth-plane existence.
