Kuhn's work on the nature
of scientific revolutions was first described in depth
and then used to analyze Orlando's theory. This 1983
analysis indicated that Orlando's conception of the
function of nursing, finding out and meeting the patient's
immediate needs for help, was similar to Kuhn's meaning
of a paradigm. The other components of Orlando's theory
were also similar to Kuhn's formulations. Especially
intriguing was Orlando's use of her nursing process
as part of the theory that was similar to Kuhn's inclusion
of method as part of his paradigmatic theory.
