    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Philosophy of Science
    • Qualitative Research

    Background:

    • Intuition is a recognized but often unexamined aspect of clinical practice.
    • Existing literature lacks a clear framework for researching or articulating nursing intuition.
    • Philosophical concepts from Gilligan and Heidegger offer potential lenses for understanding intuition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the researchability of nursing intuition.
    • To investigate the possibility of developing a distinct language for nursing intuition.
    • To examine the relationship between nursing intuition and hands-on experience.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis drawing on philosophical frameworks (Gilligan, Heidegger).
    • Exploration of existing nursing literature on intuition.
    • Theoretical examination of language development and experiential learning in relation to intuition.

    Main Results:

    • Nursing intuition presents significant challenges for empirical research due to its subjective nature.
    • Developing a specific language for intuition requires bridging abstract concepts with concrete clinical experiences.
    • A strong link exists between intuitive knowing and accumulated 'hands-on' experience in nursing.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing intuition is a valid area for inquiry, though methodological innovation is needed.
    • A shared language for intuition could enhance nursing communication and knowledge development.
    • Further research should focus on qualitative methods to capture the nuances of intuitive practice.
