Abstract

Complexity means ‘difficult to understand and do’ because of a majority of the number of elements and diversity in required actions,
‘complexity' has become a science with the development of quantum physics and chaos theory. Evaluation of health systems as a complex
system requires a well understood and considered context of complexity science models and theories. This article aims to evaluate the
conceptual dimensions of especially quantum theory and complex adaptive system as a complex science, giving definitions and antecedents,
if so developing discussion in the context of nurse and nurse managers, also contribute to the understanding of complexity science as well.

Keywords

Complex Adaptive System, Complexity, Nurse, Quantum.

Karmaşıklık Bilimi Işığında Hemşireliğin Değişimi: Kuantum Teorisi ve Kompleks Adaptif Sistemler

Abstract

Ögelerinin veya gerekli işlemlerin sayısının çokluğu ve faaliyetlerin çeşitliliği yüzünden anlaşılması ve yapılması güç olan anlamına gelen ‘karmaşıklık’, kaos ve kuantum mekaniğinin gelişmesiyle bilim haline dönüşmüştür. Sağlık sistemlerinin karmaşık sistemler olarak değerlendirilmesi içeriğindeki model ve teorilerin iyi anlaşılarak değerlendirilesini gerektirmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı karmaşıklık biliminin kapsamında özellikle kuantum teorisi ve kompleks adaptif sistemlerin kavramsal boyutlarını değerlendirerek sağlık sisteminde hemşire ve hemşire yöneticiler bağlamında tanımlamalarını, özelliklerini vermek, tartışmak ve karmaşıklık biliminin anlaşılmasına katkı sağlamaktır.

Keywords

Hemşire, Karmaşıklık, Kompleks Adaptif Sistem, Kuantum.
