Sammanfattning
This is the first of two articles
that aim at contributing to the
understanding of the development
of the nursing discipline in
Sweden. The purpose of this
part of the study was to describe
the development on the
theoretical level. The informants
(12) represented four generations
of nurse researchers. Data
was collected by interviews and
analysed by qualitative content
analysis. The results showed
that all generations considered
the nursing discipline to have a
unique perspective, core of
knowledge or value system.
Nursing theories had been used
in research by all four generations
as well as both qualitative
and quantitative methods, although
there seemed to be a growing
emphasis on qualitative
methods. The conception of nursing
as an evolving, scientific
discipline that still needs clarification
was also common
among the informants and all
four generations stressed the
importance of the clinical and
practical interest of nursing.
The differences between the
generations concerned mainly
the relationship to medical science,
the research interests of
the informants and their views
of who is to conduct nursing
research. In conclusion, the
interviewees describe a picture
of the nursing discipline as an
evolving scientific discipline in
its own right with a strong practical
interest, still struggling
with internal problems.
