Chapter 5Patterns of Knowing and Nursing Science
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
The Evolution of Scientific Thought• Early humans differentiated world into two parts: me
(internal), not me (external)– Used trial, error to discover that patterns of action led
to predictable outcomes• Nursing functioned primarily from protocols, procedures• Disease, aches, pains assumed to be caused by gods, evil
spirits– Early medicine associated with religion or magical
beliefs
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
The Search for Certainty • The 1500s
– Math– Counting– Philosophy of logical
positivism • Time, space were
absolute • Humans seen as having
separate psyche, soma (Cartesian dualism)
• Mechanistic world view – Determinism– Quantity– Continuity– Impersonality
• Principles led Galileo, Newton to develop scientific method, based on logic
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
The Relative World of Process• Scientists realized that physical world consisted of
matter, forces that interact with matter:– Gravity, magnetism, electricity
• All systems considered interrelated and interdependent, on continuum of relativity and probability, thus uncertainty
• Awareness of limitations, biases of individual perception has increased, implying that truth and meaning are not absolute but relative
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Philosophy of Knowledge• Plato
– Knowledge considered to be belief justified through reason
• Philosophy considers questions such as whether there is such a thing as truth, how one can be certain that something is true
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Question• The prior use of scientific thought prompted nursing to
function using which method to guide care?A. Good and evil causes for aches and painsB. Trial and error to discover cause for illnessC. Protocols and procedures to care for clientsD. Logic- and reasoning-guided practice
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Answer• C. Protocols and procedures to care for clients• Rationale: Nursing operated on a series of protocols and
procedures that guided client care. Trial and error, evil spirits, and logic were all past methods of scientific inquiry or thought. These methods did not guide nursing practice.

Processes of Knowing • Rationalism• Empiricism• Intuition
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Approaches to Knowing • Logical empiricism
– Body of facts, principles– Cause-and-effect (linear) relationships– It is necessary to control values, biases to achieve
“objective” knowledge– Theoretical reduction is important scientific goal– Whole is sum of parts
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Approaches to Knowing (cont’d)• Logical empiricism synonymous with logical positivism
– To predict, explain, control world events, situations, occurrences
– Nursing knowledge based on “hard sciences” has roots in logical empiricism
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Approaches to Knowing (cont’d)• Historicism based on these assumptions:
– “Truth” is dynamic, constantly changing– Whole is more than sum of parts– Individual or phenomenon must be studied as whole
in natural setting– Multiple research traditions desirable to explain
different dimensions of same phenomenon
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Approaches to Knowing (cont’d)• Historicism based on these assumptions:
– Knowledge is related to context – In professional nursing, historicism provides value-
laden approach to nursing knowledge
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Approaches to Knowing (cont’d)• Postmodernism perspectives on knowledge development
are based on– Focuses on understanding multiple meanings, ways
of knowing reality, rather than single, transcendent meaning of reality
– Multiple truths are accepted, knowledge is considered uncertain, provisional
– Statements reflect concern for context rather than universality
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Approaches to Knowing (cont’d)• Postmodernism
– Emphasis of knowledge development shifts “from concern over the truth of one’s findings to concern over the practical significance of the findings”
– Problems are not “solved,” but “deconstructed” – Shift toward lived experience, toward “creativity,
flexibility, uniqueness, local value”
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Patterns of Nursing Knowledge• Ways of perceiving, understanding self, world• Gender differences have been identified in ways men and
women may develop frameworks for organization of knowledge– Linked to distribution of power, privilege in society
• Four fundamental patterns (ways) of knowing in nursing: empiricism, aesthetics, personal knowledge, ethics
(Carper)
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Empirical Knowledge• “Encompasses publically verifiable, factual descriptions,
explanations, and predictions based on subjective or objective group data”
• Obtained through senses, can be verified, is credible, is used to impart understanding– Explaining– Structuring
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Aesthetic Knowledge• Aesthetic knowing in nursing:
– “That aspect of knowing that connects with deep meanings of a situation and calls forth inner creative resources that transform experience.”• Rehearsing • Envisioning
• Integrating aesthetic knowledge into nursing process is important– Result: richness, appreciation of practice of nursing
as art as well as science
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Personal Knowledge• “Person’s individualized and subjective ways of learning,
storing, retrieving information about the world”• “Pattern of personal knowing refers to the quality and
authenticity of the interpersonal process between each nurse and each [client]”– Experiential knowing – Interpersonal knowing – Intuitive knowing
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Ethical Knowledge• Obligation, “what ought to be done”• Theoretical/ethical knowledge
– Intellectual conception of what is good, right– Organized into concepts, propositions formulated into
judgments, rules, principles, theories– Moral action– Personal moral– Situational knowledge
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Ethical Knowledge (cont’d)• Biomedical ethics
– Derived from models of patient good, rights-based notions of autonomy, or social contract of medical practice
• Nursing ethics – Should be based on ethic of caring– Must consider nature of nurse–client relationship
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Ethical Knowledge (cont’d)• Three different perspectives reflecting different point of
view (paradigm) of how to develop nursing knowledge:– Particulate–deterministic perspective– Interactive–integrative perspective– Unitary–transformative perspective
• Different ways of knowing are not judged against one another
• Comprehensive nursing knowledge must be based on integration of all ways of knowing
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
The Development of Nursing Science• Defining nursing science poses challenge• Attaining clear definition of nursing science would provide
foundation for profession’s unique body of knowledge• Failure to articulate nursing’s exact contributions to
health care delivery may place profession at risk
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Concepts• Highly abstract, general “word[s] or phrase[s] that
summarize the essential characteristics or properties of a phenomenon”
• Four concepts accepted as central to discipline of nursing: – Human beings – The environment – Health– Nursing
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Concepts (cont’d)• Five conceptualizations of caring have been identified:
– Human trait– Moral imperative– Affect– Interpersonal interaction– Therapeutic intervention
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Concepts (cont’d)• Nursing: highly complex, has various specialty areas of
practice, attaining single definition for nursing concepts is extremely difficult
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Theories• Communicate links or relationships among concepts in
organized, coherent, systematic way and vary in levels of abstraction, scope
• Help nurses understand how, why phenomena of nursing are associated with one another
• Effectiveness in practice directly related to ability to understand, describe, explain, anticipate human responses concerning health
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Theoretical Frameworks• Theoretical or conceptual framework:
– “A logical grouping of related concepts or theories”– Provides guidance, direction for nursing research
endeavors– Tend to address phenomena more global in nature
• Developing theoretical frameworks for nursing ensures practice that considers complex nature of professional practice
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Models for Nursing• Nursing scientists proposed individual, distinctive models
about interrelationships of concepts that form nature, processes of nursing– Based on empirical observation, intuitive insights, or
deductive reasoning “that creatively combine[s] ideas from several fields of inquiry”
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Models for Nursing (cont’d)• Nursing conceptual models identify interventions that
nurses use in practice while explaining four central concepts of nursing:– Human beings– The environment– Health – Nursing
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Summary and Significance to Practice• Nurses
– Use variety of methods of knowing when providing professional nursing services
– Rely on personal, ethical knowing to make effective clinical judgments, decisions
• Nursing scholars– Have general agreement on central concepts of
discipline of nursing
Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Summary and Significance to Practice (cont’d)• Central concepts
– Help describe phenomenon of professional nursing practice
– Guide nurses • Clinical practice• Research endeavors • Educational programs

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice
33Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
The Domain of Nursing Domain
Is the perspective of a profession Provides the subject, central concepts, values and
beliefs, phenomena of interest, and central problems of a discipline
Domain of nursing provides both practical and theoretical aspects of the discipline.
34Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Paradigm Paradigm
Links science, philosophy, and theories accepted and applied by a discipline
Nursing paradigm Links person, health, environment/situation, and
nursing
35Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Terminology Person Health Environment/situation Nursing Nursing process: Method of applying the
theory or knowledge Integration of theory and nursing process is
the basis for professional nursing.
36Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Theory A theory contains a set of concepts,
definitions, and assumptions or propositions that explain a phenomenon.
Theories guide the design of nursing interventions.
Nursing theory Is a conceptualization of some aspect of nursing Describes, explains, predicts, and/or prescribes
nursing care
37Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Components of a Theory
38Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Types of Theory Grand
Broad in scope, complex, require specification Middle-range
More limited in scope and less abstract Descriptive
Describe phenomena, speculate on why phenomena occur, and describe the consequences of phenomena.
Prescriptive Address nursing interventions for a phenomenon,
and predict the consequence of a specific nursing intervention.
39Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Theory-Based Nursing Practice Theories
Generate nursing knowledge for use in practice Can direct how to use nursing process Are adaptable to different patients and all care
settings The goal of nursing knowledge is to explain
the practice of nursing as different and distinct from the practice of medicine, psychology, and other health care disciplines.
40Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Interdisciplinary Theories
Explain systematic views of phenomena
specific to the discipline of inquiry:
Basic human needs
Developmental
Psychosocial
Systems

C. Formulate legislation.
D. Link science to nursing.
42Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Models and Theories for Professional Nursing
Metaparadigm Greek prefix “meta”
• More comprehensive or transcending Greek word “paradigm”
• Overall concept accepted by most people in intellectual community
Although nursing models, theories vary according to philosophical world views, all flow from metaparadigm of nursing
43Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Models and Theories for Professional Nursing
Four key concepts serve as metaparadigm:
Human beings (recipients of nursing care)
Environment (physical, social)
Health (process or state)
Nursing (goals, roles, functions)
44Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Nursing Models Florence Nightingale
Primary source of nursing theory, nursing science derived principally from social, biologic, medical science theories before 1950
Model Provides way to visualize reality to simplify
thinking
Conceptual model Gives structure to, shows how various concepts
are interrelated
45Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Nursing Models in Research and Practice
Research Three kinds of research related to models
of nursing are being conducted:
• Testing relationships predicted by mode
• Using model as framework for descriptive analysis
• Attempting to modify nursing care through use of model
46Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Nursing Models in Research and Practice (cont’d)
Practice Nursing models, theories provide
• Guidance to nurses engaged in practice for holistic assessments
• Rationale for various nursing interventions
• Delineation of professional nursing roles in health care delivery
47Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Categories of Nursing Models and Theories
Growth, stability models of change
Two world views
• Recognizes change as continuous, desired opportunity for growth to attain maximum human potential
• Persistence, which maintains that human beings strive for stability, endurance results from synthesis of growth, stability
Stability model of change• Natural order of things revolves around consistency
48Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Stress/Adaptation Theory as a Framework
Provides way to understand how balance is maintained, possible effects of disturbed equilibrium
Used to explain, predict, control biologic (physiologic and psychological) responses of human beings, serves as traditional medical therapy Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model
49Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
The Growth Model of Change
Focuses on helping human beings grow to realize, attain full human potential
Uses caring theory or complexity theory as underlying framework Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory Jean Watson’s Human Science and Human Care
Theory
50Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Categories of Nursing Models and Theories (cont’d)
Systems Theory
Concerned with elements, interactions among all factors (variables) in situation
Understanding interaction among various parts of system, rather than describing function of parts themselves• Imogene King’s Systems Interaction Model
(Theory of Goal Attainment)• Betty Neuman’s Health Care Systems Model
51Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Systems Theories
52Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Complexity Theory as a Framework Emphasizes change
over time, long-term unpredictability, openness to environment with mutual simultaneous interactions
Seeks to understand patterns of phenomena as wholes within their contexts
Martha Rogers’ Science of Unitary Human Beings
Rosemarie Parse’s Human Becoming Theory
Margaret Newman’s Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness
Susan Leddy’s Human Energy Model
53Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Question Which nursing theory framework can be used
to assist clients in adapting to stressors in their environment?
A. Caring theory
B. Complexity theory
C. Stability Model of Change
D. Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model
54Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Answer D. Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model
Rationale: Roy’s Adaptation Model specifies that the purpose of nursing is promoting a human being’s adaptation, the process and outcome by which thinking and feeling human beings use conscious awareness and choice to create human and environmental integration. It integrates adaptation with stimulus and coping.

Case Study Susan is a new nurse who tutors a nursing
student, Bill, who has difficulty mastering good study habits and prioritizing school assignments. Susan is helping Bill learn the theoretical foundations of nursing practice.
After Susan and Bill review interdisciplinary theories such as Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the developmental theories, they move on to the topic of nursing theories.

Selected Nursing Theories (cont’d) Nightingale (mid-1800s)
Environment as the focus of nursing care Descriptive theory
Peplau (1952) Focus on interpersonal relations between nurse,
patient, and patient’s family Development of nurse-patient relationship
Henderson (1955, 1966) 14 basic needs of the whole person Framing nursing care are the needs of the
individual.
57Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Selected Nursing Theories (cont’d) Orem (2001)
Focuses on patient’s self-care needs Goal is for patient to manage his or her health
problems.
Leininger (2010) Theory of cultural care diversity and universality Considers social structure factors
Neuman (2010) Based on stress and the patient’s reaction to the
stressor Role of nursing is to stabilize the patient or
situation.
58Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Selected Nursing Theories (cont’d) Roy (1989)
Views the patient as an adaptive system When patient cannot adapt to stressors, nursing is
needed.
Watson (1996) Defines the outcome of nursing activity with regard
to the humanistic aspects of life Purpose is to understand the interrelationships
among health, illness, and human behavior.
Benner and Wrubel (1989) Caring is central.
59Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Case Study (cont’d) Bill reads about the concept of people’s
responses and adaptation to change. The theory that views the patient as an adaptive system is ______________.
60Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
The Link Between Theory and Knowledge Development
Nursing knowledge is theoretical and practical.
The goals of theoretical knowledge are to stimulate thinking and create a broad understanding of the “science” and practices of the nursing discipline.
Experiential knowledge, or the “art” of nursing, is based on nurses’ experiences in providing care to patients.

The Link Between Theory and Knowledge Development
Theories provide direction for nursing research.
Nursing theory and nursing research build the knowledge base for nursing, which is then applied to practice.
Theory-generating or theory-testing research refines the knowledge base of nursing.
Nurses incorporate research-based interventions into theory-based practice.
