Abstract
Arguably, the quest for a central, unifying paradigm in nursing has distracted from moving disciplinary knowledge forward in an accessible, meaningful manner. In this discursive philosophical article, we uphold that multiparadigmatic research teams and diverse approaches inform effective nursing praxis. We provide an overview of our worldviews (dialectical pluralism, critical realism, humanism, and pragmatism) and their philosophical assumptions and describe how they are commensurate with nursing. We present the Stadium Model in Nursing as a metaphor to illustrate how various worldviews function like different sections of a stadium to offer diverse, yet important vantages of our nursing phenomena of interest.
期刊介绍:
Consistently ranked as one of the most-read and most assigned journals by faculties of graduate programs in nursing, Advances in Nursing Science (ANS) is intellectually challenging, innovative and progressive, and features articles from a wide range of scholarly traditions. The journal particularly encourages works that speak to the need for global sustainability and that take an intersectional approach, recognizing class, color, sexual and gender identity, and other dimensions of human experience related to health. Articles in ANS are peer-reviewed and chosen for their pioneering perspectives and for their significance in contributing the evolution of the discipline of nursing.
