Authored by a nurse researcher\/philosopher team     who developed and taught this course for more than 7 years, the book provides a unique, integrated viewpoint that avoids esoteric and overly theoretical     discussions and facilitates a clear connection between the philosophy of science and nursing science and practice. This second edition offers enhanced     clarity and encompasses updates in philosophy of science interpretation, nursing practice and science, and a still-emerging practice epistemology. It is     distinguished by its increased emphasis on DNP investigation that relies on a fundamental relationship with evidence-based practice, as well as the     informational needs of the PhD student and the type of research the PhD graduate is expected to produce. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     The bulk of the text focuses on basic principles and concepts of the philosophy of science in regard to the education of both DNP and PhD nursing students.     The book discusses the concept of nursing as a “practice discipline” within historical and sociological contexts, and addresses the importance of     philosophy of science knowledge within a practice discipline. It examines the controversial question of how much philosophy of science a doctoral student     actually needs. The text concludes with a brief introduction to nursing science knowledge content that is an essential “bridge” to the philosophy of     science content and serves as a “next step” toward building a nursing epistemology. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     \u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Second Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         \u003cp\u003e             Revised to enhance clarity of information         \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         \u003cp\u003e             Reflects contemporary trends in doctoral nursing education         \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         \u003cp\u003e             Updated Questions for Reflection offer scholarly discourse         \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         \u003cp\u003e             New appendix offers a sample semester-based syllabus based on the second edition         \u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003e                \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e     \u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         Provides concise, accessible information that makes clear connections to practical applications     \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         Written jointly by a philosopher and a nurse scholar who co-teach the course     \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         Facilitates student ability to see the real connection between philosophy and practice     \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e         Increased focused content on how philosophy of science content is essential to understand evidence-based and practice-based evidence     \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124468203760,"sku":"9780826129291","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826129291_p0.jpg?v=1763749581","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826129291","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
