Leininger’s Review on
Four Nursing Metaparadigm

First, Leininger considers nursing a discipline and a profession, and the term ‘nursing’ thusand a profession, and the term ‘nursing’ thus^ cannot explain the phenomenon of nursing.Instead, care has the greatest epistemic andontologic explanatory power to explainnursing.
Leininger’s Review on
Four Nursing Metaparadigm (1997)
Concept of NursingConcept of Nursing
When Leininger’s definition of care is compared to other transcultural scholars’ definitions, it appears thatother transcultural scholars’ definitions, it appears that her view of care is wider than, for example, that ofOrque
et al
. (1983), who describe care as goal-oriented
nursing activities, in which the nurses recognize thepatients’ ethnic and cultural features and integrate theminto the nursing process.
Concept of Man/PersonConcept of Man/Person

Leininger (1997) argues that nurses sometimes use ‘person’ to refer to families,groups, communities and collectivities,although each of the concepts is different inmeaning from the term ‘person’.
Concept of EnvironmentConcept of Environment • Fourth, Leininger uses the concept‘environmental context’‘environmental context’
, which includes
events with meanings and interpretations given to them in particular physical,ecological, sociopolitical and/or culturalsettings. (Leininger 1991, 1995a,b, 1997.)
