Abstract
The humanistic theory in Nursing introduces the word community, which can be understood as community and communion. The aim of this study is to critically analyze the true semantic meaning of community. This study was conducted through bibliographic research in dictionaries, Linguistics literature and Phenomenology by using Meleis' model of theory analysis. After carefully reading about Humanistic Theory, we have clipped some passages where communion and community replaced the word community. We then inferred that community is indistinctly used by authors and can be understood as community and communion, and we reached the conclusion that although theorists commonly use the term 'community' to refer to phenomena which would be better characterized by the term 'communion', 'community' can be totally comprehended as a perfect union between the beginning-words ME-YOU giving rise to US.
