Aim:The purpose of this study is to examine the negative effects of traditional perspectives on the development of nursing as a science, on its professionalization and on its professional correspondence.
Method:In order to explore the roots and main characteristics of these problems, the method of concept analysis was used, based on a qualitative literature review of the best known and accepted theories in the researched fields.Results: Using the abstract concept of the health sciences as the main category of a scientific system, the nature of nursing science, as well as the relation between nursing and medicine as scientific fields within this category, can be determined using the criteria of Aristotelian logic.The lack of a clear consensus regarding what constitutes professionalism appears in the different forms and levels of nursing training programs, where there is a conflict between self-interest and ideology. The general medical and public perception of nursing science in general, the profession itself and professionals who practice it does not differentiate among nurse's qualification levels.The importance of effective teamwork, job satisfaction and assertive communication are underrepresented when considering psychic iatrogeneses. Special regard should be paid to the tertiary iatrogenetic impact on nurse's personalities caused by an insufficient information flow among nurses and physicians, or other team members.Recommendation: Interprofessional teamwork, patient-centered care, patient safety, equity in treatment quality, patient satisfaction, job satisfactions and not least cost-effectiveness depend in great measure on human factors, and it is well-known that the population problem has no technical solution. The primary decision-makers have to take into account these facts and introduce new knowledge for patient conducting in nursing education, as the values of nursing science and their optimal benefits are the common concern and responsibility of all those who participate in and invest in the nursing profession.
