Abstract:

New nursing knowledge was developed by constructing a practice situation, identifying a phenomenon of interest, grounding the phenomenon in the focus of the discipline, and defining concepts related to the phenomenon. Through this evolutionary process one is able to identify a phenomenon to focus on, apply it to a particular population, ground it in theory, and lastly develop it into the foundation of future research.
