It is student-driven, not teacher-driven, and requires the educator to provide experiences that are "nonthreatening, coercive, ... [nor] judgmental" (Bastable , 2014, p. 87) . Respect and consideration for the student are the only way to foster the ambition of a humanities student. As a nurse, it is easy to understand that a patient will not be willing to know if they are hungry, cold, anxious or in pain. This is supported by the ideas put forward by Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs (Bastable, 2014). Jack Mezirow contributed to humanistic learning theory with his idea of ​​transformational learning. Mezirow developed the idea of ​​“perspectives of meaning,” which can be thought of as an individual's point of view (Mezirow, 1990). He believed that we passively acquire these perspectives of meaning during childhood. The transformation of these perspectives occurred through experiences in adulthood. He hypothesized that life-changing events or rational discourse were the catalyst for transformational learning (Mezirow, 1990). The important connection between childhood perspectives and adult transformation is critical thinking and self-reflection. Before learning can take place, we must first understand the origin of our “perceiving, knowing, believing, feeling, and acting” in the way we do (Mezirow, 1990, p.13). Patients experiencing a health crisis, along with their families, are ripe for transformative learning. This is a unique opportunity for education and should not be overlooked
