Abstract
Background
Nursology (aka nursing) is the study and practice of discipline specific knowledge. The most abstract component of nursology is its metaparadigm, which is foundational to all other nursology knowledge.
Purpose
The purpose of this literature review was to identify the extent to which the metaparadigm concepts are evident in American Academy of Nursing approved journal and website articles about health policy published between 2010 and 2024.
Methods
A systematic review of 109 journal articles.
Findings
The metaparadigm concepts evident in the 109 articles were, in descending order of frequency, nursing (41%), health (26%), environment (19%) and person (14%).
Discussion
As explicit nursing knowledge is articulated in health policies via the metaparadigm concepts, nursology’s national presence as a discipline will be strengthened.
Conclusion
It is reccommended that future health policy analyses concentrate on how other components of nursology knowledge, incuding conceptual and theoretical frameworks, guide development and implementation of policies.
护理学(又名护理学)是对特定学科知识的研究和实践。护理学最抽象的组成部分是它的元范式,它是所有其他护理学知识的基础。目的本文献综述的目的是确定元范式概念在2010年至2024年间发表的美国护理学会(American Academy of Nursing)批准的关于卫生政策的期刊和网站文章中的明显程度。方法对109篇期刊文章进行系统综述。109篇文章中出现的元范式概念按出现频率由高到低依次为护理(41%)、健康(26%)、环境(19%)和人(14%)。随着显性护理知识通过元范式概念在卫生政策中得到阐述,护理学作为一门学科的国家存在将得到加强。结论建议未来的卫生政策分析应侧重于护理学知识的其他组成部分,包括概念和理论框架,如何指导政策的制定和实施。
