Abstract
The ongoing movement to decolonize nursing remains largely shaped by Global North perspectives. In solidarity with Global South voices working to center marginalized knowledge systems within nursing scholarship, this critical essay proposes Narsolohiyang Pilipino as a decolonial paradigm for theorizing nursing grounded in Filipino epistemologies and lifeways. Anchored in the Pluriverse of Nursologies (PoN), the paper advocates for the pluricentricity of nursing knowledge beyond Western and Global North (W&GN) paradigms. It begins by establishing PoN as the paper's philosophical foundation, then articulates the rationale for formalizing Filipino nursologies. Next, it describes Narsolohiyang Pilipino as a tentative decolonial paradigm for pagdadalumat (theorizing) in nursing, identifying its key philosophical movements: pagbaklas (disassembling) and pag-ugnay (connecting). Lastly, the paper presents a brief exemplar of Filipino nursological analysis through the local concept of pakikiramdam (relational attunement), then it maps the possibilities, challenges, and caveats of advancing Narsolohiyang Pilipino.
期刊介绍:
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.
