The purpose of this paper is to review chaos theory and to examine the role that it may have in the discipline of nursing.
In this paper, the fundamental ingredients of chaotic thinking are outlined. The earlier days of chaos thinking were characterized by an almost exclusively physiological focus. By the 21st century, nurse theorists were applying its principles to the organization and evaluation of care delivery with varying levels of success. Whilst the biological use of chaos has focused on pragmatic approaches to knowledge enhancement, nursing has often focused on the mystical aspects of chaos as a concept.
The contention that chaos theory has yet to find a niche within nursing theory and practice is examined. The application of chaotic thinking across nursing practice, nursing research and statistical modelling is reviewed. The use of chaos theory as a way of identifying the attractor state of specific systems is considered and the suggestion is made that it is within statistical modelling of services that chaos theory is most effective.
本文旨在回顾混沌理论，并探讨其在护理学科中可能发挥的作用。
本文概述了混沌思维的基本要素。混沌思维早期几乎完全聚焦于生理学。到21世纪，护理理论家将其原理应用于护理服务的组织与评估，取得了不同程度的成功。虽然生物学领域对混沌的运用侧重于提升知识的实用方法，但护理领域常常聚焦于混沌概念的神秘层面。
探讨了混沌理论尚未在护理理论与实践中找到立足之地这一观点。回顾了混沌思维在护理实践、护理研究和统计建模中的应用。考虑了将混沌理论作为识别特定系统吸引子状态的一种方式，并提出在服务的统计建模中混沌理论最为有效。
