| Summary |
With the evolution of nursing knowledge and theory, relationships between ideas and actions often become blurred and difficult to articulate. In this volume, the contributors present some of the ways in which nursing scholars are confronting this problem by reflecting upon the nature of nursing knowledge and the application of theory in practice. The book is divided into three sections that address: the nature of knowledge in clinical practice; the application of theoretical knowledge; and the creation of new forms and avenues of inquiry |
