    • The nursing process emerged in the 1950s as a framework for nursing practice.
    • Current application of the nursing process is debated as potentially substituting for nursing itself.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically examine the evolution and application of the nursing process.
    • To question the sufficiency of problem-solving as the sole definition of nursing.
    • To explore the impact of the nursing process on subjective, intuitive, and collaborative aspects of care.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical tracing of the term "nursing process."
    • Critical analysis of the nursing process's theoretical underpinnings and practical implications.
    • Argumentative review of existing literature and nursing practice models.

    Main Results:

    • The nursing process is argued to be increasingly used as a substitute for nursing.
    • Problem-solving, while recognized, is not unique to nursing and may not encompass all its facets.
    • The nursing process neglects subjective, intuitive elements, experience, logic, and expert opinion in practice.

    Conclusions:

    • The nursing process's emphasis on independent nursing functions may devalue interprofessional collaboration.
    • Over-reliance on the nursing process could hinder client self-reliance and holistic care.
    • A broader understanding of nursing practice beyond a purely procedural model is advocated.
