| Title | Partnership in practice | Type | Journal Article | ||
Year  |
2003 | Publication | Research & Theory for Nursing Practice | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 17 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 51-63 |
| Keywords | Nurse-patient relations; Nursing philosophy; Nursing research | ||||
| Abstract | This article presents a reconsideration of partnership between nurse and client as the core of the nursing discipline. It points to the significance of the relational nature of partnership, differentiating its features and form from the prevalent understanding associated with prescriptive interventions to achieve predetermined goals and outcomes. The meaning of partnership is presented within the nursing process where the caring presence of the nurse becomes integral to the health experience of the client as the potential for action. Exemplars provide illustration of this emerging view in practice and research. This is the first of a series of articles written as a partnership between nurse scholars from Iceland, New Zealand and the USA. The series draws on research projects that explored the philosophical, theoretical, ethical and practical nature of nursing practice and its significance for health and healthcare in a world of changing need. | ||||
