What are the core elements of nursing knowledge? What makes nursing research distinctive as nursing research? It examines the history of the philosophical debates within nursing, critiques the arguments, explains the implications and sets out to rethink the philosophical foundation of nursing science.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNursing Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e begins with philosophical problems that arise within nursing science. It then considers various solutions with the help of philosophical ideas arguingargues that nurses ought to adopt certain philosophical positions because they are the best solutions to the problems that nurses encounter. The book argues claims that the nursing standpoint has the potential to disclose a more complete understanding of human health than the common disease-and-dysfunction views. Because of the relationship to practice, nursing science may freely draw theory from other disciplines and nursing practice unifies nursing research. By redefining theory and philosophy, With a new philosophical perspective on nursing science, the so-called relevance gap between nursing theory and practice can be closed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The final chapter of the book 'redraws the map', to create a new picture of nursing science based on the following principles: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Problems of practice should guide nursing research \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Practice and theory are dynamically related \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Theory research must provide the knowledge base necessary for nurse interventions, training, patient education, etc. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Nursing research should develop midrange theories and its results are nursing theory is strengthened when it uses theories confirmed by is integrated with other disciplines\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Clear and accessibly written \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Accurate and philosophically well-informed, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Discusses philosophical problems in contexts familiar to nurses \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Systematically examines the philosophical issues involved in nursing research \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Examines epistemology (how we know what we know), theory development, and the philosophical foundations of scientific methodology. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Develops a new model of nursing knowledge \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Mark Risjord\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Emory University, and has a faculty appointment in the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing.
