Development of a classification system for nursing science and directions of future development

Abstract

Abstract:

As an independent first-level discipline，an appropriate classification of nursing science is significant. In China，each nursing degree-granting institution has developed its own secondary-level discipline directions based on its research characteristics and strengths，with varying names and research scopes. Furthermore，there is no unified global classification system. This paper，based on the characteristics of nursing as a discipline and combined with China's discipline classification principles，used literature analysis，comprehensive classification，philosophical reflection，logical reasoning，and expert consultation methods to explore the connotation of nursing，its unique research objects and scope，and to construct a secondary-level discipline classification system for nursing science that is suitable for China's national conditions. The paper also discussed the challenges faced by the nursing discipline and its future development directions，providing theoretical and practical guidance for the development of the nursing discipline.

Key words: Nursing, Discipline Classification System, Discipline Development, Research Scope, Nursing Research

摘要：

护理学作为独立的一级学科，完善其学科分类体系意义重大。目前，国内各护理学学位授权点分别按自身研究特色和优势凝练二级学科方向，名称各异、研究范围差异较大，且全球尚无统一的分类体系。该文根据护理学科的特点，结合国内学科分类原则，运用文献分析法、综合分类法、哲学思辨法、逻辑推理法与专家咨询法，探索护理学的内涵，包含护理学的定义、研究对象、理论体系与研究范畴，并构建护理学学科分类体系，探讨护理学学科面临的挑战和未来发展方向，旨在为其发展提供理论依据与实践指导。
