Abstract:
This paper examines the art of nursing through linguistic appreciation interpreted from Paley's method of concept analysis and is situated within Carper's fundamental ways of knowing. Examining the theoretical framework for the art of nursing, a historical exploration for disciplinary dialogue, analyzing and interpreting existing art of nursing literature, and identifying prominent attributes embrace multiple conceptions. Five constitutive meanings develop the art of nursing as: a craft, an aesthetic, nursing science, transpersonal caring, and multiple ways of knowing. Narratives of operationalization allow an exploration with the art of nursing for use in nursing education, research, and practice.
