Tailored for both DNP and PhD doctoral nursing programmes, this text is the first to focus on philosophy of science applications to the discipline of nursing. The authors, a philosopher and a nurse-scholar who co-teach the course upon which this volume is based, address a growing need for increased philosophy of science content in evolving DNP programs, as well as practice-oriented research considerations for this discipline.
The volume presents a creative use of the social, political, and historical content in which nursing has evolved. As a whole, this extremely important text reassures the student of the fluid and palpable connections between philosophy of science and nursing science and practice.
Key Features:
- Explores the concept of nursing as a practice profession and assesses how much philosophy of science is needed for doctoral nursing students.
- Examines the practical application of the philosophy of science to both DNP and PhD students.
- Addresses the basic principles and concepts of the philosophy of science and their practical application for contemporary practice inquiry.
- Provides an overview of the century-long path to the development of nursing science that is an essential ""bridge"" to the philosophy of science content and serves as a ""next step"" towards building a nursing epistemology
- Reinforces important connections between the philosophy of science to nursing science and nursing practice.
