Nursing Philosophy

Journal Title：Nursing Philosophy

Nursing Philosophy provides a forum for discussion of philosophical issues in nursing. These focus on questions relating to the nature of nursing and to the phenomena of key relevance to it. For example, any understanding of what nursing is presupposes some conception of just what nurses are trying to do when they nurse. But what are the ends of nursing? Are they to promote health, prevent disease, promote well-being, enhance autonomy, relieve suffering, or some combination of these? How are these ends are to be met? What kind of knowledge is needed in order to nurse? Practical, theoretical, aesthetic, moral, political, 'intuitive' or some other?

Papers that explore other aspects of philosophical enquiry and analysis of relevance to nursing (and any other healthcare or social care activity) are also welcome and might include, but not be limited to, critical discussions of the work of nurse theorists who have advanced philosophical claims (e.g., Benner, Benner and Wrubel, Carper, Schrok, Watson, Parse and so on) as well as critical engagement with philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Husserl, Kuhn, Polanyi, Taylor, MacIntyre and so on) whose work informs health care in general and nursing in particular.

护理哲学为讨论护理哲学问题提供了一个论坛。这些问题集中于与护理性质和与其密切相关的现象有关的问题。例如，对护理的任何理解都以护士在护理时试图做什么的概念为前提。但护理的目的是什么？是为了促进健康、预防疾病、促进幸福、增强自主性、减轻痛苦，还是这些目的的某种组合？如何实现这些目标？护理需要什么样的知识？实用、理论、美学、道德、政治、“直觉”还是其他？

我们也欢迎探讨与护理（以及任何其他医疗保健或社会护理活动）相关的哲学探究和分析的其他方面的论文，可能包括但不限于对提出哲学主张的护理理论家的工作的批判性讨论（例如，Benner、Benner 和 Wrubel、Carper、Schrok、Watson、Parse 等）以及与哲学家的批判性接触（例如，Heidegger、Husserl、Kuhn、Polanyi、Taylor、MacIntyre 等），他们的工作为一般医疗保健和特别护理提供了信息。
