Thoughts About the Metaparadigm of Nursing: Contemporary Status and Recommendations for Evolution.

In this essay, I present my original and most recent versions of nursing's disciplinary metaparadigm, along with others' versions of the metaparadigm. I conclude the essay by joining others in issuing a call for decolonization of nursing knowledge, with an emphasis in this essay on decolonizing nursing's metaparadigm by asking if a metaparadigm is needed and, if so, what its content should be.
