Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Less-known forces are involved in the etiology of lung cancer and have relevant implications for providers in ameliorating care. The purpose of this article is to discuss theories of causation of lung cancer using historical analyses of the evolution of the disease and incorporating related explanations integrating the relationships of science, nursing, medicine, and society. Literature from 160 years was searched and Thagard's model of causation networks was used to exhibit how nursing and medicine were significant influences in lung cancer causation theory. Disease causation interfaces with sociological norms of behavior to form habits and rates of health behavior. Historically, nursing was detrimentally manipulated by the tobacco industry, engaging in harmful smoking behaviors, thus negatively affecting patient care. Understanding the underlying history behind lung cancer causation may empower nurses to play an active role in a patient's health.
肺癌是全球癌症死亡的主要原因。肺癌的病因涉及一些鲜为人知的因素,这对医疗服务提供者改善护理工作具有重要意义。本文旨在通过对肺癌疾病演变的历史分析,并结合科学、护理、医学和社会之间关系的相关解释,来探讨肺癌的病因理论。我们检索了160年来的文献,并使用撒加德的因果关系网络模型来展示护理和医学在肺癌病因理论中是如何产生重大影响的。疾病病因与社会行为规范相互作用,形成健康行为习惯和发生率。从历史上看,护理曾受到烟草行业的有害操纵,导致人们养成有害的吸烟行为,从而对患者护理产生负面影响。了解肺癌病因背后的潜在历史,可能会使护士在患者健康方面发挥积极作用。
