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.

護理哲學為討論護理哲學問題提供了一個論壇。這些問題集中于與護理性質和與其密切相關的現象有關的問題。例如，對護理的任何理解都以護士在護理時試圖做什么的概念為前提。但護理的目的是什么？是為了促進健康、預防疾病、促進幸福、增強自主性、減輕痛苦，還是這些目的的某種組合？如何實現這些目標？護理需要什么樣的知識？實用、理論、美學、道德、政治、“直覺”還是其他？

我們也歡迎探討與護理（以及任何其他醫療保健或社會護理活動）相關的哲學探究和分析的其他方面的論文，可能包括但不限于對提出哲學主張的護理理論家的工作的批判性討論（例如，Benner、Benner 和 Wrubel、Carper、Schrok、Watson、Parse 等）以及與哲學家的批判性接觸（例如，Heidegger、Husserl、Kuhn、Polanyi、Taylor、MacIntyre 等），他們的工作為一般醫療保健和特別護理提供了信息。
