    Nursing theory and practice are diverging due to evolving beliefs, leading to different vocabularies and knowledge values among nurses. This study examines these differences and proposes reconciliation strategies for nursing.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Healthcare Education

    Background:

    • Over the past 20 years, nursing has seen significant shifts in foundational beliefs and assumptions.
    • This evolution has led to a growing gap between theoretical nursing concepts and practical application in patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the increasing divergence between nursing theory and nursing practice.
    • To explore the differing perceptions, vocabularies, and valued knowledge types between nursing theorists/educators and practicing nurses.
    • To propose methods for reconciling the gap between nursing theory and practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of the relationship between nursing theory and practice.
    • Examination of differing perspectives and knowledge valuation among nursing professionals.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Literature review on the evolution of nursing beliefs and assumptions.

    • Main Results:

    • A noticeable divergence exists between nursing theory and practice, characterized by distinct vocabularies and differing views on patients and nursing.
    • Nursing theorists and educators often differ from practicing nurses in their perceptions and the types of knowledge they prioritize.
    • These differences stem from the redefinition of core nursing beliefs and assumptions over the last two decades.

    Conclusions:

    • The divergence between nursing theory and practice poses challenges to the profession.
    • Reconciliation requires addressing differing perceptions, vocabularies, and knowledge valuation.
    • Strategies are needed to bridge the gap and foster a more integrated approach to nursing.
    • Further research should focus on developing and implementing these reconciliation strategies.
