This one-of-a-kind book provides an in-depth analysis of nursing
practice as a concept and area of study, rather than an aggregation
of specific techniques and skills. The text addresses the essential
features of nursing practice using a five-level nursing framework
developed by the author. This framework promotes a deep
understanding of how nursing should be holistically practiced
rather than focusing on particular nursing competencies. The book
stresses the importance of developing a multi-faceted, adaptable
approach to nursing that integrates all of its complexities
including philosophy, knowledge and knowing, and situational
contingencies. Also addressed are the integral components of
nursing practice, including essential tools, collaboration,
knowledge application, competence, expertise, and quality of
practice. The book discusses and analyses the five levels of
nursing practice--the nursing perspective, nursing knowledge for
practice, the philosophy of nursing practice, the dimension of
nursing practice, and the process of nursing practice-to provide a
model for how nursing should be practiced in order to better serve
patients and advance knowledge for practice. With its in-depth
perspective and unique focus, the book draws from nursing
knowledge, but also the fields of philosophy and social sciences.
As such, it analyses the essential features and characteristics of
nursing practice through a broader lens. The book also includes a
comprehensive bibliography from nursing, philosophy, and social
sciences literature. It is designed as both a text for
graduate-level nursing students and as an authoritative reference
for practicing nurses, educators, and researchers. Key Features:
