Nursing Knowledge. Science, Practice, and Philosophy
Description:Nurs who conduct rearch have a longstanding interest in questions of nursing knowledge.
Nursing Knowledge is a clear and well–informed exposition of the philosophical background to nursing
theory and rearch.
Nursing Knowledge answers such fundamental questions as: How is nursing theory related to nursing
practice? What are the core elements of nursing knowledge? What makes nursing rearch distinctive as
nursing rearch? It examines the history of the philosophical debates within nursing, critiques the
arguments, explains the implications and ts out to rethink the philosophical foundation of nursing science.
Nursing Knowledge begins with philosophical problems that ari within nursing science. It argues that
nurs ought to adopt certain philosophical positions becau they are the best solutions to the problems
that nurs encounter. The book claims that the nursing standpoint has the potential to disclo a more
complete understanding of human health than the common dia–and–dysfunction views. Becau of the
relationship to practice, nursing science may freely draw theory from other disciplines and nursing practice
unifies nursing rearch. With a new philosophical perspective on nursing science, the so–called relevance
gap between nursing theory and practice can be clod.
The final chapter of the book redraws the map , to create a new picture of nursing science bad on the
following principles:
- problems of practice should guide nursing rearch
- practice and theory are dynamically related
- rearch must provide the knowledge ba necessary for nur interventions, training, patient education,
etc.
- nursing theory is strengthened when it is integrated with other disciplines
