    Nursing education faces a theory-practice gap, partly due to a commitment gap between basic and continuing education. A legal framework for nursing practice can provide security, encouraging acceptance of new nursing theory.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Healthcare Education

    Background:

    • The nursing profession requires a strong research base, yet a theory-practice gap persists.
    • A less-documented issue is the commitment gap between basic and continuing nursing education.
    • Nursing theory has evolved from certainty-based to uncertainty-based models, impacting clinical relevance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the reasons for the commitment gap in nursing education.
    • To explore the relationship between nursing theory evolution and clinical staff acceptance.
    • To propose a solution for enhancing the integration of nursing theory into practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on the theory-practice gap in nursing.
    • Analysis of the evolution of nursing theory content.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Exploration of the psychological factors influencing clinical staff's adoption of new theory.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinical staff may reject nursing theory due to a perceived lack of security in their knowledge base.
    • The shift towards uncertainty-based nursing models can exacerbate this issue.
    • A legal framework for nursing practice is hypothesized to provide the necessary security.

    Conclusions:

    • A legal framework can enhance clinical staff's confidence in their practice.
    • This enhanced security may foster greater acceptance and integration of new nursing theory.
    • Addressing the commitment gap requires understanding and mitigating the impact of theoretical shifts on clinical practice.
