External influences placed upon nurses working in universities and in clinical practice require them to attract research funding, carry out research, generate new knowledge and publish in national and international journals. While there does not appear to be an agreed, unified body of nursing knowledge, critical and scholarly debate is essential to generate knowledge, but this is not an activity in which the majority of nurses can effectively participate. Nevertheless, nurses in the Western world are free to communicate their research, theories or ideas, essentially uncensored, to a vast invisible audience, and there is global dissemination through a vast array of literature and educational materials. This paper challenges nurses to examine the implications of globalization and suggests that the continuing debate on the nature of nursing knowledge should be updated to include consideration of both a change in philosophical stance and the far reaching effects of global dissemination of information.
施加于在大学工作和从事临床实践的护士身上的外部影响，要求她们获取研究资金、开展研究、创造新知识并在国内和国际期刊上发表文章。虽然似乎不存在一个公认的、统一的护理知识体系，但批判性和学术性的辩论对于知识的产生至关重要，然而这并非大多数护士能够有效参与的活动。尽管如此，西方世界的护士可以自由地将她们的研究、理论或观点基本上未经审查地传达给广大的无形受众，并且通过大量的文献和教育材料进行全球传播。本文促使护士审视全球化的影响，并建议对关于护理知识本质的持续辩论进行更新，以纳入对哲学立场变化以及信息全球传播的深远影响的考量。
