By seeking answers to ontological and epistemological questions, nursing scholars explored the foundations of nursing and articulated the meaning of nursing science from various philosophical perspectives. This ongoing search for advancement and development of nursing aligns with the concept of "normal science" by Thomas Kuhn. Kuhn's science influenced nursing knowledge, resulting in the development of nursing metaparadigm and paradigms. Despite this influence, Kuhn's science's relevance for nursing science received a little scrutinization. This article presents a critical analysis of Kuhn's science and its influence on and relevance for nursing discipline and suggests implications for nursing knowledge development.
通过寻求本体论和认识论问题的答案，护理学者探索了护理的基础，并从各种哲学角度阐述了护理科学的意义。这种对护理进步和发展的持续探索与托马斯·库恩的“常规科学”概念相一致。库恩的科学影响了护理知识，导致了护理元范式和范式的发展。尽管有这种影响，但库恩的科学对护理科学的相关性却很少受到审视。本文对库恩的科学及其对护理学科的影响和相关性进行了批判性分析，并提出了对护理知识发展的启示。
