Journal Title：Nursing Philosophy

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.

护理哲学提供了一个讨论护理哲学问题的论坛。这些重点关注与护理的性质和与之关键相关的现象有关的问题。例如，对什么是护理的任何理解都以护士在护理时试图做什么的概念为前提。但是护理的目的是什么？它们是为了促进健康、预防疾病、促进福祉、增强自主性、减轻痛苦，还是兼而有之？如何实现这些目标？护理需要哪些知识？实用的、理论的、美学的、道德的、政治的、“直觉的”还是其他？

也欢迎探讨哲学探究和分析与护理（以及任何其他医疗保健或社会护理活动）相关的其他方面的论文，可能包括但不限于对护理理论家的工作进行批判性讨论先进的哲学主张（例如，Benner、Benner 和 Wrubel、Carper、Schrok、Watson、Parse 等）以及与哲学家（例如，海德格尔、胡塞尔、库恩、波兰尼、泰勒、麦金太尔等）的批判性接触通知一般的医疗保健，特别是护理。
