Reflections for a nursing epistemology

Based on a literature review, we propose to reflect on the nature of nursing knowledge, resulting in a synthesis. Human responses unfold on a stage of unpredictability, with the complexity of human beings and contexts, requiring robust conceptual framework for their understanding. The dialogic, hologramatic and recursive organizational principles are a starting point for understanding the facilitating action of transition processes for welfare. The answers to welfare and health problems, beyond the simple transfer of knowledge, are structured by and for practical action in a swinging movement from practice to theory and back to practice. Nursing finds the epistemological field as a practical human science with public and private knowledge, a process of translation in which knowledge is produced and implemented in a hermeneutical spiral.
