Carmencita Abaquin developed the PREPARE ME theory focusing on improving quality of life for terminal cancer patients through holistic nursing care. The theory uses non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions to address patients' physical, psychological, social, religious, and independence dimensions. Interventions include presence, reminiscence therapy, prayer, relaxation, meditation, and values clarification. Rozanno Locsin's theory views people as caring beings growing in response to conditions. Nursing aims to know people's wholeness through technology. Sister Carol Agravantes' CASAGRA theory is a transformative leadership model using spiritual exercise and workshops to develop servant-leader qualities in nurse faculty.
