Abstract
The middle-range nursing theory of self-transcendence may be applicable to individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Full cognitive ability may not be necessary for the essential principles of this theory to be implemented. The theory can offer guidance to families and health care providers in attempting to facilitate a meaningful aging process. A case scenario of an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s disease demonstrates how family and caregivers can initiate interventions based on the theoretical concepts.
