Nursing, Nursing Research, Nursing Theory, Nursing PhilosophyAbstract
The nursing meta-paradigm and its concepts have been previously discussed, but the debate has centered on the concepts rather than the strategies for its implementation. This editorial proposes to broaden the debate regarding the meta-paradigm’s use for the nursing professional and the discipline with its respective contributions to knowledge, practice, and research.
