Abstract
The definition of nursing as an academic subject is still challenging internationally, and because of this, no explicitly manifest common theoretical foundation exists. Advanced practice nursing as a field of research and professional practice is based on the same theoretical and ethical foundation as nursing on the generalist and specialist levels. It is therefore vital to stop at fundamental nursing science perspectives when deepening understanding of what advanced practice nursing is. The characteristics of the theoretical development in nursing science and societal development in the Nordic countries can be summarized in four nursing science perspectives: health, holism, ethos as a person-centered fundamental ethical approach, and caring. Theoretical diversity and pluralism are essential in nursing science, but a common understanding of the central fundamental nursing-theoretical perspectives among clinical practitioners, instructors, and researchers can contribute to good treatment outcomes and better health for the patient.
