Social justice is asserted as a responsibility of the nursing profession. However, a reliable conception of social justice that can undergird practice, research, education, and policy endeavors has proved elusive. We discuss this as a problem for the profession and propose Powers and Faden's model of social justice as useful for nursing purposes because of its focus on exploring and rectifying underlying causes of injustice as they lie within the fabric of society. Their model asserts 6 essential dimensions of well-being as universal human needs. These dimensions are interrelated and nonhierarchical. A serious deficiency in any one affects other dimensions and interferes with the ability to experience "a minimally decent life." The model is applied to the problem of child abuse and the effects of its aftermath on well-being as an example of its potential for structuring nursing knowledge development, practice, and policy initiatives.
社会正义被认为是护理行业的责任。然而,一个可靠的社会正义概念,可以为实践、研究、教育和政策努力提供支持,但却一直难以捉摸。我们将其视为该行业的一个问题,并提出 Powers 和 Faden 的社会正义模型对护理工作是有用的,因为它侧重于探索和纠正社会结构中不公正现象的根本原因。该模型断言,福祉有 6 个基本维度,是人类普遍的需求。这些维度相互关联且无等级之分。任何一个维度的严重缺陷都会影响其他维度,并干扰人们体验“基本体面生活”的能力。该模型被应用于虐待儿童问题及其对福祉的后续影响,以此为例来说明其在构建护理知识发展、实践和政策倡议方面的潜力。
