The theory/practice gap is a recurrent theme in the nursing literature. Numerous suggestions have been made about how this gap may be narrowed or even closed. However, there appears to have been little attempt to date to examine the ways in which research conducted into the hidden curriculum, and philosophical analysis of the concepts involved, might inform our understanding of the reasons for the existence of the theory/practice gap. This paper attempts to utilize some of the contributions from these areas of research, and as a result will argue that, while narrowing of the theory/practice gap may be a realistic goal, any attempt to close it completely will be doomed to failure.
理论与实践的差距是护理文献中反复出现的主题。关于如何缩小甚至弥合这一差距，人们已经提出了许多建议。然而，迄今为止，似乎几乎没有人尝试去研究针对隐性课程的研究以及对相关概念的哲学分析，如何能增进我们对理论与实践差距存在原因的理解。本文试图利用这些研究领域的一些成果，并由此认为，虽然缩小理论与实践的差距可能是一个现实的目标，但任何试图完全弥合它的努力都将注定失败。
