Notions of the 'postmodern' pervade various fields of study, but have rarely been applied to the practice and theory of nursing. This paper uses some conceptions of the 'postmodern' to remedy this. Though there are many contested usages of the term, here 'postmodern' will be used broadly in a periodical sense to trace changes in society and culture from the 'modernism' of the 18th and 19th centuries to current concerns about 'postmodernism'. How these changes have been reflected in nursing practice and nursing theory will be explored. The changing use of the term 'modern' to describe up-to-date practice will be addressed in the course of this. It is suggested that contextualizing nursing as a social/cultural activity in this way offers perspectives which will help us untangle the conflicting agendas and issues which form the fabric of the social world in which current nursing takes place, enabling us to act more effectively in promoting our own professional agendas.
“后现代”概念在各个研究领域广泛存在，但很少应用于护理实践和理论。本文运用一些“后现代”概念来弥补这一情况。尽管该术语存在许多有争议的用法，但这里“后现代”将在一种宽泛的时期意义上使用，以追溯从18、19世纪的“现代主义”到当前对“后现代主义”的关注中社会和文化的变化。将探讨这些变化如何在护理实践和护理理论中得到体现。在此过程中，还将讨论“现代”一词用于描述最新实践时不断变化的用法。有人认为，以这种方式将护理置于社会/文化活动背景中能提供一些视角，有助于我们理清构成当前护理所处社会世界结构的相互冲突的议程和问题，使我们能更有效地推动自身的专业议程。
