Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Philosophy of Science
  • Knowledge Development

Background:

  • Nursing's historical evolution spans from physical care to interpersonal relationships, culminating in an integrative and unitary perspective.
  • The ongoing debate questions whether nursing is primarily an art or a science.
  • Existing frameworks struggle to reconcile the art and science dichotomy in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose 'pattern' as a unifying concept integrating the art and science of nursing.
  • To advance nursing knowledge towards a unitary perspective.
  • To redefine nursing praxis as an integration of theory, research, and practice.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of nursing knowledge evolution.
  • Philosophical inquiry into the art-science dichotomy.

  • Proposal of a new integrating factor: pattern.

    • Main Results:

    • Pattern emerges as a key integrating factor, transcending the art-science divide.
    • Nursing knowledge is transformed to a higher dimension, incorporating past and future developments.
    • A unitary perspective is achieved through the integration of pattern.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing knowledge is best understood through an integrated art-science approach, with pattern as the core.
    • Nursing praxis, encompassing theory, research, and practice, aligns with a unitary perspective.
    • This integrative framework offers a more comprehensive understanding of nursing.
