Scientific Paradigms of Nursing
Science
As discussed by Polit and Beck (2019), there are two paradigms that they talk about in
nursing and research, the first is the Positivism Paradigm and the second The Constructivist
Paradigm. Positivism according to Polit and Beck (2019), assume that it is ordered and that
there is only one reality, and value objectivity. Positivism uses quantitative research, which
means that data is gathered in a numerical fashion and analyzed in a statistical style.
Positivism and Empiricism focus on objective ways, fixed and controlled context, where there
is no bias and the researcher has little to no contact. Their goal is to test a hypothesis true of
false. Their data is quantifiable data, that either proves some type of measurable outcome to
prove truth or false.
The Constructivist Paradigm, also seen as a perceived view of science according to
McEwen and Willis (2019), states that science centers on descriptions that are derived from
collectively lived experiences, human interpretation, and learned reality, as opposed to
artificially invented. There is no single truth, each individual’s experience is unique and
reality. Polit and Beck (2021), states; Constructivist research yields rich, in-depth information,
insights are gained, new questions emerge. Qualitative research is used with Constructivism,
research is in real-life first-hand experiences, working alongside with the subjects and gaining
insight.
Polit and Beck (2021), state that despite the differences between the two paradigms,
they also have some features in common, they both aim to answer questions and solve
