Expanding the praxis debate: contributions to clinical inquiry

Article Abstract:

Praxis, a set of practices or customs derived from theory, has not been used enough as an approach to clinical inquiry in nursing. Nursing science is considering various ways to advance the discipline and is examining the assumptions and implications of the philosophic paradigms on which scientific inquiry is based. In both interpretive and critical paradigms, praxis may contribute to improving the human condition.

Responding to threats to integrity of self

Article Abstract:

Individual experiences of illness can be combined to develop a theory about response to illness or injury. The Illness Constellation Model and Preserving Self theory was used to develop a five-stage model, Responding to Threats to Integrity of the Self. Rather than being limited to considering illness or recovery response, this theory comprehensively examines recovery and rehabilitation.
