[What is meant by the science of patient care?].
The study had two main purposes: to develop further a specific patient care process model and to develop a curriculum approach based on the model. These two problem areas depend on other problems, which have to be solved when a vocation develops and moves into academic setting. It is important to form a new foundation of knowledge and to educate a first generation to be able to command this new knowledge. The science of care is in the preparadigmatic phase and is about to enter into the normal scientific period. The medical paradigm is confronted today with the phase in which it must look for new possibilities, in other words, with a revolutionary phase. Therefore one can assume that the concepts of nursing science and those of medical science are not completely in agreement with each other.
