Abstract:

Under the background of specialized development of nursing discipline and the Healthy China strategy,China has established an eight-category secondary discipline framework(including maternal and child nursing,critical care and disaster nursing,etc.) through integrated methods such as literature analysis,philosophical reflection,and expert consultation methods. This development marks a paradigm shift in the discipline from “general nursing” to “refined nursing”. However,the development of secondary disciplines in nursing still encounters multiple challenges in aspects such as the construction of knowledge systems,support for talent cultivation,the deepening of scientific research,and the expansion of practical scopes. To address these issues,this paper proposes applicable implementation strategies,aiming to provide references for the systematic and standardized development of nursing secondary disciplines.
