Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Philosophy of Science in Nursing

Background:

  • The gap between nursing theory and practice is widening.
  • Nurses struggle to manage multiple and conflicting knowledge claims.
  • Scientific pluralism in nursing offers diverse knowledge but presents application challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenge of theoretical pluralism in nursing practice.
  • To present viable modes for applying nursing theory in practice.
  • To provide nurses with strategies for managing diverse knowledge claims.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of scientific pluralism in nursing.
  • Development of ideal-type modes for theory application.
  • Exploration of practical implications for nursing knowledge utilization.
