Nursing is being challenged to forge a broader, more comprehensive view of the environment that incorporates social, political, and economic realities. A critical social reconceptualization of the environment offers not only an organizing perspective but an invitation for nursing practice and research to act to transform the environmental conditions that constrain health and human potential. Critical social theory offers a vision for the future wherein innovative nursing knowledge can be used by individuals and communities to alter oppressive environmental circumstances and to increase potential for emancipatory change.
护理工作面临着挑战，需要形成一个更广泛、更全面的环境观，将社会、政治和经济现实纳入其中。对环境进行批判性的社会重新概念化，不仅提供了一个组织视角，还促使护理实践和研究采取行动，改变那些限制健康和人类潜能的环境条件。批判社会理论为未来提供了一个愿景，即个人和社区可以利用创新的护理知识来改变压迫性的环境状况，并增加解放性变革的可能性。
