The planet is facing ecological disaster, yet the environmental domain of nursing is currently understood as the immediate surroundings or circumstances of the individual or family. Such a definition keeps nurses from addressing the larger social, political, economic, and global issues that affect health. The author suggests that nursing, essentially a women's profession, and the environment share a long history of domination and oppression; and that an ecofeminist perspective offers a conceptual foundation for developing a new consciousness of the environment with the potential for liberating both.
地球正面临生态灾难，然而护理领域目前被理解为个人或家庭的直接周边环境或情况。这样的定义使护士无法应对影响健康的更广泛的社会、政治、经济和全球问题。作者认为，护理本质上是一项女性职业，它与环境有着长期的支配与被压迫的历史；生态女性主义视角为培养一种新的环境意识提供了概念基础，这种意识有可能使两者都获得解放。
