    Understanding the complexity of nursing processes is crucial for professional development and theory building. This study introduces a novel method for generating nursing theory through systematic analysis of practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Healthcare Management
    • Theory Development

    Background:

    • The process dimension in nursing is currently underestimated in its complexity.
    • Limited understanding of nursing processes impacts professional growth and theoretical frameworks.
    • Existing approaches may not fully capture the intricacies of nursing practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the complexity of the process dimension in nursing.
    • To address the knowledge gap concerning nursing processes.
    • To present a method for theory generation grounded in nursing practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Systemic observation of nursing practice.
    • Detailed description of observed nursing activities.
    • Identification and analysis of patterns within nursing practice.
