Nursing Systems
Nursing systems is conceptualized as the providers, resources, structures,
methods and processes essential for the efficient and effective delivery
of nursing care to aggregates of individuals. The concentration is directed
toward preparing nurse scientists with expertise in (1) evaluating theoretical
and empirical knowledge about inter-and intra-organizational phenomena relevant
to the delivery of nursing care; (2) developing and validating new theoretical
constructs and models that explain nursing phenomena from a systems perspective.
Specific research projects in the nursing systems domain include: effectiveness
and outcomes of nursing care; components of ethical practice; professional
practice models; cost-effective practices; resource requirements for quality
care; work and role redesign of the registered nurse.
Specifically, the objectives of this focus are to:
-
Critically evaluate the theoretical and empirical knowledge about inter-and
intra-organizational phenomena relevant to the understanding of nursing
systems.
-
Develop and validate new theoretical constructs and models that explain
nursing phenomena from a systems perspective.
-
Contribute to knowledge development in the domain of nursing
systems through the generations of new knowledge as well
as the synthesis of nursing knowledge with that of related disciplines.
-
Extend and refine the definition of the domain
of nursing systems.
-
