Martha Rogers’ science of unitary human beings in relation to workers health and well-being: A scoping review

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Workers’ health and well-being are topics on the rise within occupational research. Rogers’ science of unitary human beings can potentially contribute to increased knowledge in the area. However, no previous review has investigated how the theory has been used in relation to workers in working life. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this scoping review was to provide an overview of studies that have used Rogers’ science of unitary human beings to study workers health and well-being in working life. METHODS: A literature search was conducted in CINAHL and PubMed, and other relevant sources in May-June 2022. RESULTS: The results showed that there seems to be a lack of use of Rogers’ science of unitary human beings regarding workers health and well-being in working life. The overarching theme was: Well-being as an essential phenomenon in working life in all dimensions of existing. CONCLUSION: The theory has potential to contribute more to research regarding workers’ health and well-being in working life.
