Area of Science:

  • Environmental health and nursing science.
  • Public health and nursing theory.
  • Sociology and environmental studies.

Background:

  • Nurses manage patient issues stemming from environmental factors.
  • Current nursing environmental paradigms are limited, focusing on client-centered and psychosocial aspects.
  • Existing theories inadequately explain the full scope of environmental health problems in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the environmental paradigm in nursing theory and research.
  • To identify limitations in the current client-oriented and psychosocial focus.
  • To propose a paradigm shift towards a more comprehensive understanding of environmental influences in nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of nursing theory and research in the environmental domain.
  • Exploration of theories from other disciplines.
  • Discussion of upstream nursing approaches.

Main Results:

  • Nursing's environmental domain is predominantly focused on a limited, client-oriented paradigm.
  • Existing theories fail to capture the multidimensional nature of environmental health issues.
  • A need exists for broader theoretical frameworks to address environmental factors comprehensively.

Conclusions:

  • A paradigm shift is necessary to revolutionize nursing's environmental consciousness.
  • Integrating theories from other disciplines can broaden nursing's environmental perspective.
  • Adopting upstream, multidimensional approaches is crucial for effective environmental health nursing.
