Paradox is living phenomenon that provides insights into straight thinking and diverse human experiences important to the discipline of nursing from a nursing philosophical theory-based approach. Here, the author delves into the metaphorical experience of living on the edge and the paradoxical concepts that assist the discipline in its thinking about artificial intelligence. Possible ethical implications of utilizing artificial intelligence from a humanbecoming ethos of understanding are discussed. The metaphorical implications for future disciplinary priorities are presented.

It is unclear whether doctoral nursing students are using nursing theory to guide their research. This descriptive, exploratory study involved a review of 747 doctoral papers to determine whether nursing students are using nursing or non-nursing theory to guide their research. The findings revealed that although 86.9% of doctoral students used theory, just 31.7% used nursing-specific theory to guide their dissertation study or capstone project. The disproportionate relationship between the use of nursing and non-nursing theory at the doctoral level poses both challenges and opportunities.

This is a review of the 4th edition of Philosophies and Theories for Advanced Nursing Practice by Butts and Rich and colleagues (2022). This book consists of 26 chapters, divided into five parts that address metatheoretical background, followed by content on a breadth of selected interdisciplinary and nursing theories, models, and philosophies relevant to teaching master's and doctoral level nursing students, particularly those in advanced practice academic programs.

Professionalism is a fundamental concept in nursing and a central aspect of nursing care. The review aimed to synthesize evidence presented in qualitative studies related to the perception of professionalism in nursing practice. Six main analytical themes were generated from primary studies included in the literature review: everyday practice, ethical aspects of nursing care, nurses' identity, nurses' professional growth, achieving autonomy, complexity of relationships. Presented themes are considered key elements of nursing professionalism, are closely interconnected, and support the multidimensional structure of professionalism in nursing. Nursing professionalism means providing high-quality care while upholding the values of integrity, accountability, and respect.

The practice column focuses on incorporating a nursing theoretical framework into nursing care in a clinical scenario involving intimate partner violence. Accordingly, as exemplified by utilizing Virginia Henderson's theory, there is guidance to define, focus, and evaluate nursing care in these multifaceted clinical cases.

The author explores Parse's postulate of paradox within the humanbecoming paradigm and connects it to extant works in nursing.

In this column, the author examines older adults' refusal of nursing care. Results from a questionnaire survey revealed that over 25% of children who lived away from their parents were troubled by their refusal of care. In addition, the author summarizes self-neglect like care refusal, which can explain older adults' care refusal. Interviews with care professionals showed that parental care refusal did not particularly relate to "parents refusing necessary services" as perceived by their children but to parents' perception of "children forcing unnecessary services" on them. The solution involves care provision geared toward older adults' daily needs rather than alleviating children's anxiety.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal disease that greatly affects patients and the family caregivers who provide most of their care. Despite the psychological, physical, and financial strain placed on ALS caregivers, few research efforts have been directed to this caregiving phenomenon. The purpose of this research study, utilizing Newman's health as expanding consciousness as the theoretical framework and research method, was to advance understanding of the experience of ALS family caregivers for the advancement of nursing science. Nine patterns of the whole across all family caregivers emerged from the data, showing important implications for nursing research and practice.

Awe is an emotion involving a feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends one's current understanding of the world and is associated with creating a sense of wonder and curiosity. The author explores how awe experiences can have a role in igniting and sustaining research endeavors, and how nurse researchers can cultivate everyday awe experiences as sources of inspiration when engaged in the art of nurse sciencing.
