Body and Care in Art, Science, and Philosophy of Nursing

Abstract

The research objectives are to clarify the theoretical origin of so-called Nursing metaparadigmas, explicit kinds of seconds Wilhelm Dilthey worldviews on the paradigm concept in Thomas Kuhn, propose two nouns concepts identified in national Nursing writings. The research is theoretical, the method is inductive, the technique is descriptive-analytic and the approach is historical. Results: the apparent consensus on the Nursing metaparadigmas is more didactic than coming from refined epistemological research; there is no conceptual similarity of metaparadigm of meanings in Margaret Mastermann and designing metaparadigmas in nursing; the notion of paradigm in Thomas Kuhn has similarities to the earlier theory of world views in Wilhelm Dilthey. Purposeful conclusion: body and care are nouns concepts; therapeutic relationship is connective concept; Nursing care is adjective concept. The three types of concepts has been the fundamental connection experience (Erlebnis). If having for object of study the mediator body of nursing care, in Aristotelian terms it can be said that the body is material cause, the mediator body is formal cause, the therapeutic relationship in the care process is efficient cause, care Nursing is final cause.
