Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this paper was to analyze and evaluate the middle-range theory, emancipatory nursing praxis (ENP): a theory of social justice in nursing.

Methods

Peterson and Bredow's method was utilized to complete the theory evaluation. The theory was evaluated systematically to ensure the appropriateness of application for research in nursing education and transforming nursing students into social justice allies.

Findings

The ENP theory has not been widely used since its introduction in 2017, although it is even more relevant today after the revelation of profound societal inequities during the pandemic. The theory lacks testing and empirical indicators for utilization in nursing practice.

Conclusion

ENP addresses the mandate from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing for nurse educators to foster the development of students as social justice leaders and competent caregivers across the life span. This theory provides a framework to apply in nursing education to improve the professional competency in social justice and disparities. However, further research is needed to develop tools to measure outcomes and generalizability.

Implications for nursing practice

ENP middle-range theory could support nursing educators and nursing programs to develop learning strategies and curricula to facilitate nursing students’ knowledge and application in social justice advocates, allies, and leaders, thus improving individual, community, and global health outcomes.

解放护理实践的理论分析与评价：护理中的社会正义理论。

目的：本文旨在分析和评价中程理论--解放护理实践（ENP）：护理中的社会公正理论：方法：采用 Peterson 和 Bredow 的方法完成理论评估。对该理论进行了系统评估，以确保其适用于护理教育研究，并将护理专业学生转变为社会正义同盟：ENP理论自2017年提出以来尚未得到广泛应用，尽管在大流行病期间揭露了深刻的社会不公平现象后，该理论在今天显得更加重要。该理论在护理实践中的应用缺乏检验和实证指标：ENP满足了美国护理学院协会对护士教育者的要求，即培养学生成为社会正义的领导者和有能力的终身护理者。该理论提供了一个应用于护理教育的框架，以提高学生在社会公正和差异方面的专业能力。然而，还需要进一步的研究来开发衡量成果和可推广性的工具：ENP 中程理论可支持护理教育者和护理项目开发学习策略和课程，以促进护理学生在社会正义倡导者、盟友和领导者方面的知识和应用，从而改善个人、社区和全球健康成果。
