ABSTRACT

Nursing science, exemplified through nursing research, evidence-based practice (EBP), and translational science initiatives, is bounded universally by the meta-constructs of health, nursing, person, environment (Flaskerud & Halloran, 1980), and time (Henly, Wyman, & Findorff, 2011). Global dissemination of nursing science involves sharing conceptualizations and paradigms, methodologies and measurement approaches, and data-based findings through varied modes of communication. This chapter provides an overview and analysis of current status, practices, challenges, and trends in global generation and dissemination.
