Nurses involved in research are concerned with methodological issues. This paper explores the Cartesian debate that has polarized the discourse on nursing research methodology. It is argued that methodologies exclusively based on objectivism, one pole of the Cartesian debate, or subjectivism, the other, do not provide nurses with adequate research foundations to understand the complexity of the lifeworld of nursing practice. This paper provides nurse researchers with an alternative methodological perspective, Gadamerian hermeneutics, which is in harmony with the clinical world of nursing practice.
参与研究的护士关注方法论问题。本文探讨了笛卡尔式的争论,该争论使护理研究方法论的讨论两极分化。有人认为,完全基于笛卡尔争论的一极即客观主义或另一极即主观主义的方法论,无法为护士提供足够的研究基础来理解护理实践生活世界的复杂性。本文为护士研究者提供了一种替代的方法论视角,即伽达默尔诠释学,它与护理实践的临床世界相契合。
