Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Philosophy of Science
  • Healthcare Disciplines

Background:

  • The discipline of nursing has experienced significant growth and development.
  • A persistent and vigorous debate surrounds the appropriate guiding paradigm for nursing science.
  • This foundational question remains unresolved despite over two decades of discussion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the concept of paradigm within the context of nursing science.
  • To explore the various paradigms currently influencing nursing science.
  • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of theoretical unification and multiparadigmism in nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the term 'paradigm'.
  • Exploration of existing paradigms influencing nursing science.
  • Comparative analysis of theoretical unification and multiparadigmism.

Main Results:

  • The choice of paradigm significantly impacts the direction and development of nursing science.
  • Theoretical unification offers a singular focus but may limit scope.
  • Multiparadigmism allows for diverse approaches but raises questions of integration.

Conclusions:

  • The ongoing debate on paradigms is crucial for the scientific advancement of nursing.
  • Understanding the implications of multiparadigmism is essential for the future of nursing as a practice discipline.
  • The selection and application of paradigms will shape nursing's identity and scientific rigor.
