This study argues that nursing practice overemphasizes behavioral approaches, neglecting crucial biological sciences. Reintegrating biological sciences is vital for maintaining high-quality patient care.

Area of Science:

Nursing Science
Biological Sciences

Background:

Nursing education historically emphasized biological sciences.
A recent trend shows a decline in the focus on biological sciences within nursing practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the current standing of biological sciences in nursing theory and practice.
To advocate for a stronger integration of biological sciences in nursing.

Main Methods:

Literature review and analysis of current nursing education trends.
Discussion of the implications of reduced biological science focus.

Main Results:

Current nursing practice disproportionately favors behavioral approaches.
Insufficient emphasis is placed on the biological sciences in contemporary nursing.

Conclusions:

The shift away from biological sciences in nursing could negatively impact patient care quality.
A balanced approach integrating both behavioral and biological sciences is essential for effective nursing.
