Vom Zusammenspiel von Theorie und Praxis.

The editorial titled "On the interaction of theory and practice" discusses the importance of theory development in nursing. It is stated that nursing science has so far only sparsely developed theories and that there is a need for further theory development.

The authors emphasize the necessity to promote theoretical discussions and revive the theory debate in nursing science. [Extracted from the article]
