Area of Science:

Background:

  • Evaluation in nursing has historically used positivistic and post-positivistic models.

  • To apply the fourth-generation evaluation approach to nursing evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • This model is more consistent with a nursing paradigm than traditional scientific paradigms.
  • The fourth-generation evaluation approach aligns well with a constructivist stance in nursing.

Conclusions:
