Nursing has accepted theory as basic to its practice; however, the use and development of nursing theory is constrained by the approach used in nursing education. It is not appropriate or sufficient to isolate theory in one course. Moreover, confining nursing theory courses to graduate curricula, which is the custom in many schools of nursing, suggests that to focus on theory in the profession is esoteric. These curricular approaches inhibit socialization of students to the value of theory as essential to practice. It is imperative that nursing education engage students in theory-related content at all levels. This article presents a scheme to achieve systematic integration of theory-related content in curricula at all levels of nursing education from associate degree to doctorate. Through theory-based practice, nursing will come to realize its full potential as a discipline.
护理已将理论视为其实践的基础；然而，护理理论的应用和发展受到护理教育所采用方法的限制。将理论孤立于一门课程中是不合适且不充分的。此外，许多护理学院的惯例是将护理理论课程局限于研究生课程，这意味着专注于该专业的理论是深奥难懂的。这些课程设置方法阻碍了学生将理论的价值视为实践必不可少的一部分。护理教育必须让各级学生参与与理论相关的内容。本文提出了一个方案，以实现从副学士学位到博士学位的各级护理教育课程中与理论相关内容的系统整合。通过基于理论的实践，护理将充分发挥其作为一门学科的潜力。
