A major claim for nursing theory is that it contributes to the generation of a body of nursing knowledge that will be important in the definition of nursing's boundaries. It is argued here that the epistemic authority of nursing knowledge is determined by factors such as the gender structure of nursing. This means the knowledge products of nursing will be given low epistemic status by both nurses and non-nurses. The implications of this argument, in terms of professionalisation and the project to develop nursing theory, are examined.
护理理论的一个主要主张是，它有助于生成一系列护理知识，这些知识对于界定护理的边界至关重要。本文认为，护理知识的认知权威由诸如护理的性别结构等因素决定。这意味着，护士和非护士都会赋予护理知识产品较低的认知地位。本文将考察这一论点在职业化以及护理理论发展项目方面的影响。
