Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The paper begins by acknowledging both the need for nursing to be a research based profession, and the reasons for the well-documented theory-practice gap. It goes on to suggest that what is not so well-documented is an examination of the reasons for the commitment gap between basic and continuing education. The relevance of continuing education to clinical staff will be discussed in relation to the change in the content of nursing theory--from the unwieldy 'certainty-based' medical model, to a more flexible, thus perhaps 'uncertainty-based' medical model. The paper will explore the author's belief that clinical staff need to feel a sense of security in their knowledge base, which therefore leads them at times to reject nursing theory. The paper proposes that a legal framework for nurses practice gives the clinical staff the security in their practice to view the relevance of new nursing theory. |
