摘要

Filling a gap between textbooks for undergraduate nursing students, which focus primarily on the nursing process as the framework for nursing practice, and books used by graduate nursing students and scholars, which focus primarily on the methods of research for generating, developing and testing nursing theory, this book provides a comprehensive approach to the synthesis of nursing science and the art of nursing. The main focus of this book is the concept of awareness as it relates to the nurse's use of diverse ways in organizing and synthesizing knowledge to assist clients in healing themselves, and the nursing client's development of self-awareness and knowing one's place in the universe to facilitate self-healing.(organization, management, administration, OB, organization behavior, nursing administration, leadership, delegation, business, professional executive)
