The Art of Nursing: A Concept Analysis

Abstract

This article examines the art of nursing, through a systematic exploration of the literature and application of Rodgers' methodology for conducting a conceptual analysis. The phases of Rodgers' evolutionary approach are explained, including the selection of literary works and methods for data collection and analysis, and through the introduction of a model case. Although the literature revealed inconsistent interpretations and a dynamic conceptualization of the art of nursing, various meanings and contexts for understanding the art of nursing are presented, along with implications for advancing nursing knowledge and contemporary evidence related to the art of nursing.
