title: Contributions of Martha Rogers to the development of nursing knowledge.
abstract: Martha Rogers' greatest contribution may be her introduction into nursing of a questioning stance about the prevailing models of science, leading to increased acceptance of alternative paradigms, a variety of research methods, and explorations of topics such as existentialism and Eastern philosophy. Nursing is a richer, more diverse profession because of Martha Rogers.
