Bridging the Theory-Education in Nursing

Melike Ertem

Abstract: Nursing researches contribute to occupational autonomy with the selection, updating and testing of qualified information. Progressive knowledge build-up in nursing strengthens nursing and distinguishes it from other disciplines. Establishing the link between research and theory and practice plays a decisive role in the development of a discipline. It is crucial to conduct scientific research in nursing and use the results obtained from these studies. As per the cited research examples given above, any theory should be used to contribute to the development of nursing profession added the fact that for those theories to be implemented in the field of education and research in universities, nursing educators/academicians are not required to attain any special certification or suffice any precondition specifically. Academic nurses should take account of the changing student profile, the cultural background of the students and the needs of the students from the remote and rural areas, and make modifications in the training methods in the face of these factors.
