Document Summary

In the late 20th century, much of the theoretical work in nursing focused on articulating relationships among four major concepts: person, environment, health, and nursing. Because these four concepts can be superimposed on almost any work in nursing, they are collectively referred to as the metaparadigm for nursing. The term originates from two greek words: meta, meaning with, and paradigm, meaning pattern. The work of american nurse theorists reflects a wide range of ideas about people, the world, health, and nursing. Each nurse theorist"s definitions of these four major concepts vary with scientific and philosophical orientation, experience in nursing, and the effects of that experience on the theorist"s view of nursing. Nursing theorists have built on the metaparadigm and on the work of. Nightingale, whether or not they were conscious of doing so.
