    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Knowledge Development
    • Theory Development

    Background:

    • Nursing diagnosis is a key concept for defining the scope of nursing practice.
    • Existing literature presents diverse perspectives on the central focus of nursing.
    • The development of nursing knowledge is intrinsically linked to the conceptualization of human responses within nursing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To argue for the central role of theory development in nursing diagnoses for advancing nursing knowledge.
    • To explore the significance of taxonomy development in delineating nursing's unique domain.
    • To present strategies for theory development that support nursing diagnoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review to present differing views on the focus of nursing.
    • Conceptual analysis of nursing diagnoses and their role in theory development.
    • Argumentation for the necessity of theory to encompass description, explanation, prediction, and control.

    Main Results:

    • Nursing diagnoses are fundamental to conceptualizing nursing's domain and human responses.
    • Taxonomy development of nursing diagnoses can significantly facilitate nursing's growth as a science.
    • Theory development must address the autonomous treatment phenomena within nursing.

    Conclusions:

    • Theory development surrounding nursing diagnoses is essential for building a unique nursing knowledge base.
    • Nursing diagnoses, supported by robust theory, define the discipline's scientific scope.
    • Advancing nursing science requires focused theory development on phenomena amenable to autonomous nursing intervention.
