Focused on the philosophy of science and its application to practice doctorates, "Philosophy of Science for Nursing Practice, Second Edition" provides a unique, integrated viewpoint that facilitates a connection between the philosophy of science, nursing science and practice, the release said..
Dreher and Dahnke co-authored the first edition of the book, which was awarded a 5-Star Doody™ Review and was selected as a Core Doody™ Title 2010-2012. The second edition offers enhanced clarity and encompasses updates in philosophy of science interpretation, nursing practice and science, and a still-emerging practice epistemology, according to the release.
The content focuses on the basic principles and concepts of the philosophy of science in regard to the education of both DNP and Ph.D. nursing students.
