German Society for Nursing Science

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Society for Nursing Science e. V. (DGP) is a specialist society founded in 1989 for the development and promotion of nursing science and nursing research in Germany . The DGP contributed significantly to the academization and the scientific development of nursing and the positioning of nursing science within the social sciences . Since November 2016 she has been a member of the AWMF (Working Group of Scientific Medical Societies).

Objective and activities

The objectives of the DGP are set out in the statutes:

"... to promote nursing science and research, in particular to support the scientific discourse in the discipline and to guarantee methodological pluralism and to make results available to the general public."

The DGP sees itself as a scientific society and is recognized as a non-profit organization.

Her activities include the organization of scientific conferences, the publication and dissemination of nursing scientific results and information in the association's own peer-reviewed journal Pflege & Gesellschaft in the Juventa publishing house, she translates academic articles from other languages ​​and finances research projects of its members. The content-related work is carried out in so-called sections, which are dedicated to certain topics.

Sections

The DGP comprises several sections that thematically deal with sub-areas of nursing science and research:

  • Historical nursing research (founded in 1991 at the 3rd general meeting, as the first section of the association): Establishing research on nursing history in nursing science, preserving and providing information about nursing history in the nursing documentation center and the Hilde Steppe archive. This section is the only still active section from the founding days.
  • University teaching nursing science (founded in 1996) Development of the subject nursing science at universities and establishment of nursing science in the educational landscape of nursing
  • Critical Care Nursing (care of the critically ill person, founded in 2000): Further development of nursing practice, advice, guidance and training in particular of coping strategies , collection of scientific findings for integration into patient-oriented everyday care, development of guidelines, standards, guidelines and assessment instruments and their evaluation
  • Education (founded in October 2003): The focus is on determining the position of the occupational field of nursing education and university training in nursing, educational theory, nursing didactics, occupational policy and educational practice.
  • Ethics (founded in 1997) / ethics committee in the DGP (founded in 2005): The focus is on questions from professional ethics and the ethical assessment of nursing research.
  • Research methods : The focus is on the development and application of qualitative and quantitative research methods and the further development of research methods in nursing science
  • Oncological nursing research (founded in November 2005): forum for the scientific discourse on oncological nursing and health research, theory-practice transfer, development of evidence-based care concepts for patients in oncology.
  • Advice, information and training in nursing (founded in 2006): The focus is on scientific discourse and the promotion and development of information, training and advice for patients and their relatives.
  • Nursing phenomena (founded in September 2006): Collection of research results from clinical nursing research and research requirements from the subordinate working groups, for example the Incontinence Care Phenomenon working group
  • Development and consequences of technology and computer science in nursing : (founded in February 2010) Examination of the various technical developments for nursing and nursing science, taking into account ethical aspects that can result from the use of technology in nursing.
  • Dissemination and implementation (founded in February 2012): Development, investigation and evaluation of implementation methods as well as theories and models that try to explain the complex interplay of multiple factors, analysis of socio-political impulses and decisions as well as their influence on dissemination and implementation strategies, identification of suitable ones Result measures as well as development and investigation of corresponding measuring instruments and methods.
  • University nursing training (founded in 2017): Founded on the occasion of the creation of university nursing training as a standard training path provided for in the Nursing Profession Reform Act (from 2020).
  • Junior nursing science (founded in 2019): The section has set itself the goal of offering young junior researchers the opportunity to network, exchange experiences and collaborate. The target group of the new section are students (Bachelor, Master), PhD students and young scientists at universities and colleges.

history

In contrast to other industrialized nations, there was no standard course of study or research institute in the field of professional nursing in the Federal Republic of Germany until the end of the 1980s . In order to remedy this situation and to catch up with the much more progressive, especially Anglo-American nursing science, the "Standing Conference of Further Education Institutes for Leading and Teaching Nursing Staff" founded the German Association for the Promotion of Nursing Science and Research on May 10, 1989 , who should drive the scientific development of nursing, independent of the association. On May 10, 1989, twelve founding members elected a board of five members. Ruth Schröck (* 1931) became the first chairwoman, Gerda Kaufmann (* 1931) her deputy. Inge Vollstedt, Marianne Arndt (* 1946) and Hilde Steppe (1947–1999) completed the first board. In the years that followed, a large number of nursing-related and nursing science courses developed. In addition, a number of nursing research facilities and institutes emerged. In June 2000 the name was shortened to German Association for Nursing Science . In 2005 the name was changed to the German Society for Nursing Science in order to better reflect the academization of the nursing sector. Despite the meanwhile more than 50 nursing courses (as of 2008) in various nursing-relevant areas and a significantly further developed nursing science structure, to which the DGP made a decisive contribution, the German nursing science was still in the process of being established and had not yet reached the international nursing research level.

30 years DGP in 2019

On the occasion of the DGP's 30th anniversary in 2019, it was stated that the catching-up character was impressively dynamic, but that the disciplinary and content-related development must still be viewed as inadequate up to this point. The contours of the discipline of nursing science are still only defined in fragments. There is a lack of theoretical foundations for a possible systematization of nursing scientific knowledge. Also, there is still a lack of scientifically well-founded justifications for questions of care research.

On May 17, 2019, the DGP celebrated its 30th birthday with a symposium in Berlin.
