[Nursing science and related sciences. Questions about centralization of nursing science and interdisciplinary...

The thesis of this paper is that nursing science draws a lot of its innovative potential from the knowledge that has been gathered in related disciplines. This knowledge is specified and reformulated with regard to nursing practice. The thesis is developed on two levels: first under aspects of methodology and the philosophy of science, then under aspects of the adoption of interdisciplinary knowledge. The integration of various related sciences that takes place in nursing science will finally be demonstrated in an example. This example shows which qualifications the practitioners need to deal with patients who suffer from a stroke.
