Integrated Theory and Knowledge Development in Nursing: Theory and Process

by Peggy L. Chinn, Maeona K. Kramer

This comprehensive resource examines how nursing theory and patterns of knowing affect nursing practice. In addition to the concepts of ethical knowledge, aesthetic knowledge, and empiric knowledge development, you'll learn about the newest pattern of knowing ― emancipatory knowing. This pattern centers on the human capacity to create change by envisioning desired outcomes, particularly in situations that involve injustice or social wrongs. Throughout the book, helpful activities encourage you to reflect on important concepts and explore how evidence-based nursing theory can be used to improve the quality of care.

I had to read this for a class on nursing theory. Parts of the book made me think. Parts of the book were out there.
