  • Title: A conceptual framework for Christian nursing practice.
    Author: Parfitt B.
    Journal: Christ Nurse Int; 1994; 10(1):6-8. PubMed ID: 8149353.
    Abstract:
    The use of models and theories of nursing has raised questions for Christian nurses. It was acknowledge that many of the underlying philosophical assumptions made in models and theories of nursing are contrary to those acceptable to Christians. Questions of the importance of understanding these philosophical assumptions when adopting a model of nursing were raised. What essential assumptions should the Christian nurse accept when adopting a given model of nursing? Is there in certain circumstances a need to reject a given model of nursing because it does not support fundamental Christian beliefs about the nature of mankind, society or nursing? Is it necessary for Christian nurses to develop their own model of nursing?
