Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndrome has caused increases in morbidity and mortality worldwide. In this syndrome, which usually develops suddenly with complaints of chest pain and shortness of breath, most of the cases are caused by changeable lifestyle and manageable risk factors. Nurses have an important role in reducing these risk factors and in ensuring compliance with treatment. Rogers discussed the hemodynamic principles of reflection, coiling, and integration in his Unitary Human Theory. In the theory he developed, he evaluated the individual with its environmental and energy field. According to Rogers, these two fields interact and balance with each other. Health problems arise with the deterioration of this balance. Because of these health problems, nursing care is needed.. This case report was carried out to evaluate the patient with the principle of integrity by using Rogers' Unitary Human Theory in the care plan of a 44-year-old male patient who was admitted to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. As a result of the study, it was seen that the care plan created according to Rogers' Unitary Human Theory was effective in making the necessary changes to improve the lifestyle of the patient diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome.
