Surfacing nursing process: a method for generating nursing theory from practice

W. Carole Chenitz, Janice M. Swanson

Abstract

The process dimension in nursing is far more complex than currently recognized. Lack of knowledge about process in nursing has consequences for professional development and nursing theory. A method for generating theory from systemic observation, description, identification and analysis of nursing practice is presented.
