Critical caring is a midrange theory proposed as a framework to guide public health nursing practice. This article reports findings of a study that examined the relevance of the theory to the practice of expert public health nurses (PHNs). Twenty-six PHNs participated in this study: 10 in interviews and 16 in 2 focus groups. Findings support the relevance of critical caring to PHN practice, explicated, and further refined the theory through the richness of participants' practice accounts As such, it has potential as a tool of resistance to forces that limit PHNs working to their full scope of practice.
批判性关怀是一种中程理论，被提出作为指导公共卫生护理实践的框架。本文报告了一项研究的结果，该研究考察了该理论与专家级公共卫生护士（PHN）实践的相关性。26名公共卫生护士参与了这项研究：10人接受访谈，16人参加2个焦点小组。研究结果支持了批判性关怀与公共卫生护士实践的相关性，通过参与者丰富的实践描述对该理论进行了阐释和进一步完善。因此，它有可能成为一种抵制限制公共卫生护士充分发挥其执业范围的力量的工具。
