    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Sociology
    • Nursing Studies

    Background:

    • Modernist perspectives on human progress often disregard environmental impact.
    • Environmental damage affects human well-being, creating a need for new approaches.
    • Nursing practice is increasingly influenced by evolving societal and philosophical thought.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore how nurses' environmental concerns align with shifts from modern to postmodern thinking.
    • To analyze the implications of environmental damage for human health and nursing practice.
    • To understand the challenges nurses face when advocating for sustainable practices.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical analysis of societal thinking (premodern, modern, postmodern).
    • Examination of the philosophical underpinnings of environmental degradation.
    • Qualitative exploration of nurses' experiences and dialogues regarding environmental issues in practice.

    Main Results:

    • Nurses' environmental concerns reflect a postmodern 'mood' and dialogue.
    • Challenging modernist environmental concepts is central to this shift.
    • Advocating for change can lead to workplace instability and loss of meaning for nurses.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing engagement with environmental issues signifies a transition to postmodern thought.
    • Sustainable nursing practices require a departure from modernist environmental paradigms.
    • Nurses face significant challenges when confronting established, environmentally harmful practices.
