This study explores the conflict between evidence-based nursing and intuitive practice. It argues that scientific evidence should legally justify nursing actions, promoting accountability.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Healthcare Law

Background:

  • Nursing practice traditionally involves intuition, but professional standards now emphasize scientific evidence.
  • A potential conflict exists between intuitive approaches and the need for accountability in nursing.
  • Legal and professional frameworks are evolving to incorporate evidence-based practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the apparent contradiction between intuitive nursing theories and evidence-based practice.
  • To explore the professional and legal implications of this contradiction.
  • To advocate for evidence-based practice as the legal justification for nursing actions.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of nursing theories and legal precedents.

  • Argumentation for the legal validity of evidence-based practice.

    • Main Results:

    • Promoting individual accountability and evidence-based justification for nursing may conflict with intuitive practice theories.
    • The contradiction raises significant professional and legal implications for nurses.
    • Evidence-based practice is presented as a necessary legal foundation for nursing actions.

    Conclusions:

    • Evidence-based practice is crucial for professional accountability in nursing.
    • The legal system should recognize evidence-based practice as the primary justification for nursing actions.
    • Resolving the conflict between intuition and evidence is vital for advancing nursing practice and legal standing.
