Running Head: EXPERT INTUITION IN NURSING Towards an alternative to Benner’s theory of expert intuition in nursing: A discussion paper

چکیده
Several authors have highlighted the role of intuition in expertise. In particular, a large amount of data has been collected about intuition in expert nursing, and intuition plays an important role in the influential theory of nursing expertise developed by Benner (1984). We discuss this theory, and highlight both data that support it and data that challenge it. Based on this assessment, we propose a new theory of nursing expertise and intuition, which emphasizes how perception and conscious problem solving are intimately related. In the discussion, we propose that this theory opens new avenues of enquiry for research into nursing expertise.

Ever since the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (UKCC) promoted the concept of advanced practice in the UK in the early 1990s, I have thought that to attempt to pin down advanced practice in the form of a definition, a set of standards or a list of competencies is to destroy the very thing that we are attempting to understand. However, to claim that adva...
