Scholars debate evaluating evidence from diverse worldviews. This paper identifies common warrants for scientific evidence, promoting core values for nursing scholarship amidst diverse research approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Philosophy of Science

Background:

  • Lack of consensus exists among nurse scholars on evaluating evidence from diverse worldviews.
  • Nursing science encompasses multiple philosophical perspectives, leading to varied approaches to evidence generation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe qualities or warrants for evaluating scientific findings across different research perspectives.
  • To identify common warrants for evidence that transcend specific philosophical viewpoints in nursing.

Main Methods:

  • The paper reviews and synthesizes the concept of warrantable evidence pertinent to post-positivist, interpretivist, critical social theorist, and feminist perspectives.
  • Common warrants across these diverse scientific perspectives are identified and described.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Three common warrants for evaluating scientific evidence are proposed: methodological rigor and critique by the scientific community, corroboration and intersubjectivity, and scope of the evidence.
  • These common warrants provide a foundation for assessing the quality of evidence regardless of the underlying philosophical perspective.

Conclusions:

  • Identifying common warrants assists nurses in establishing core values for good science and scholarship.
  • This framework supports the pluralism of nursing science approaches while maintaining standards for evidence evaluation.
