This article again asks, What is nursing science? Who knows? Who cares? The author describes the threat to the survival of nursing science grounded in nursing frameworks and theories. This threat is magnified by the proposal of the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS) to change the curricula of PhD education. The aim of CANS is to prepare nurse scientists for lifelong competitive careers in interdisciplinary research, often focused on funding priorities of the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Curricula would include preparation for conducting research in topics such as omics, e-science, translation science, biobehavioral science, symptom science, and team science. How can this be nursing science? It is argued that this focus might obliterate nursing's discipline-specific phenomenon of concern, the human-universe-health process.
本文再次发问，什么是护理科学？谁知道呢？谁又在乎呢？作者描述了基于护理框架和理论的护理科学生存所面临的威胁。护理科学促进委员会（CANS）提议改变博士教育课程，这使得这种威胁更加严重。CANS的目标是培养护士科学家，使其在跨学科研究中拥有终身的竞争性职业生涯，这些研究通常聚焦于美国国立护理研究所（NINR）的资助重点。课程将包括针对诸如组学、电子科学、转化科学、生物行为科学、症状科学和团队科学等主题开展研究的准备。这怎么能算是护理科学呢？有人认为，这种关注点可能会抹杀护理学科特有的关注现象，即人 - 宇宙 - 健康过程。
