    Exploring nursing practice theory through four philosophy-of-science perspectives—realism, relativism, interpretivism, and humanism—enhances the discipline. These philosophical viewpoints offer valuable insights but also raise complex questions about the nature of knowledge in nursing.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Philosophy of Science
    • Practice Theory

    Background:

    • Nursing practice theory is enriched by examining diverse philosophical perspectives.
    • Understanding the nature of knowledge is crucial for advancing nursing as a discipline.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze and compare four key philosophy-of-science perspectives in nursing: realism, relativism, interpretivism, and humanism.
    • To explore how these perspectives illuminate core issues in nursing practice theory and the nature of knowledge.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of four philosophy-of-science perspectives.
    • Examination of how philosophical assumptions address phenomena, environment, teleology, and theoretical frameworks in nursing.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The four perspectives (realism, relativism, interpretivism, humanism) offer distinct insights into nursing practice.
    • These perspectives, individually and collectively, generate significant questions regarding the nature of nursing knowledge.

    Conclusions:

    • An enhanced vision of nursing emerges from comparing these philosophical perspectives on practice theory.
    • Collaborative knowledge-building and scholarly debate are essential for advancing nursing knowledge.
