Nature of Nursing (1966), and Principles and Practice of Nursing
(1978). These books are the most widely used by nurses around the
world. This book teaches nurses a philosophy that is understandable
and coherent. Thanks to these books nurses around the world have
become more skilled in treating patients, especially nurses in North
America.
2.6.3 Research
Henderson’s definition of nursing carries significant meaning
for theory development and its concepts and propositions. As you
study other nursing theories, you will find evidence of Henderson’s
definition in many of them. While the definition may not lend itself to
the type of research expected of grand theories, Henderson was an
avid supporter of nursing research. As indicated earlier and deserves
repeating, for 19 years, she worked with Leo Simmons on the four-
volume Nursing Studies Index (1963, 1966, 1970, 1972), reading and
indexing all the related nursing literature published in English
between 1890 and 1959—all done by one nurse and a colleague. It
demonstrates her commitment to developing a body of nursing
knowledge and strengthening the ability of nurses to conduct research
and improve the practice of nursing. Sigma Theta Tau International
Library, located in Indianapolis, was named in honor of Virginia
Henderson, because of her devoted advocacy of nursing libraries
around the world. Her desire was to provide practicing nurses with
current resources wherever they were.
