Abstract
- The disciplinary perspective of nursing is guided in part by its metaparadigm, which includes the concepts of human beings, environment, health, and nursing. While relevant to the discipline as a whole, these abstract concepts are not meant for operationalization into the practice environment. The authors in this paper introduce a midparadigm of nursing—namely, the prismatic midparadigm—for applications in research, practice, policy, and education. It is a framework of concepts that are less abstract, but congruent with, the metaparadigm and more specific to the practice environment with the context of vulnerability as central.
