Abstract

The view of knowledge that is taken in a discipline and professional domain is determinative for its research, practice, and education. In this chapter, a three-dimensional view of knowledge related to the development of advanced practice nursing is presented, as an area of research in nursing science, nursing professional practice, and higher education. The three dimensions part of this view of knowledge are epistêmê, which is theoretical-scientific knowledge; technê, which is practical knowledge; and phronesis, which is practical wisdom. A nurse’s advanced clinical skills are a synthesis of these various forms of knowledge and are revealed through his/her approach to a patient or the patient’s family and through concrete nursing and care for the patient’s best. The three-dimensional view of knowledge is related to Kim’s view of knowledge domains and related to nurses’ advanced clinical competence as knowledge in action.
