Georges Christoffel Maria Evers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georges Christoffel Maria Evers (born April 3, 1950 in Valkenswaard / Netherlands ; † June 7, 2003 ) was an influential nursing scientist who researched, taught and was politically active far beyond Europe.

Evers attached great importance to the analysis and empirical verifiability of theories as well as to a solid conceptual formation in nursing . As a teacher, he encouraged abstract, consistent thinking in relevant concepts. On this fundamental understanding of nursing as a science ( nursing science ), he published numerous books that have been translated into various languages.

Professor Evers was appointed professor for nursing science at the Katholieken Universiteit Leuven in 1991 and, in addition to this activity, at the University of Witten / Herdecke in 1997 , as professor for clinical nursing research .

Evers central questions, on which he based his research and teaching, resulted from the meaningful connection of his scientific roots:

  • Do we recognize exactly the people who need care and can benefit from it?
  • How can we care effectively and efficiently while maintaining the humane character of care?

His main concern, the development and promotion of European nursing science, he pursued through professional activities in various European countries and his committed work as a founding member of the European Academy of Nursing Science (EANS).

Georges CM Evers died on June 7, 2003 in his home environment after a brief serious illness.
