“…While epistemology is concerned with the structure and dependability of knowledge (Silva and Sorrell 1995), ontology is concerned with 'the nature of existence and with the structure of reality' (Crotty, 1998:p10). Constructionists protest against any permanent, homogeneous standards by which truth can be generally known (Denzin and Lincoln 2005).…”

Aim This paper presents a substantive theory that explains the transition to motherhood for women with a disability. Background Over the last thirty years, interest in exploring women's experiences of motherhood has increased. Extant theories on transition to motherhood originate, primarily, from the perspective and experiences of non‐disabled women with few exploring the phenomenon from the perspective and experiences of women with a disability. Those that do tend to focus on issues of accessibility, profiling the challenges that women with a disability encounter while accessing maternity services, attaining a maternal role and fulfilling the requirements of that role. Little is known about the experiences of women with a disability and their transition to motherhood and even less about the relationship of this process on the self. Design The study was conducted using a Strauss and Corbin approach to grounded theory. Method Individual interviews (n = 22) were conducted over 4 years (2008–2012). Women were interviewed during pregnancy and in the postnatal period. All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, imported into Nvivo 8 and analysed using the constant comparative method. Findings The substantive theory that emerged from the study provides a conceptual framework clinicians can reference when counselling, assisting and facilitating women with a disability during their preparation for and transition to motherhood. Conclusion The substantive theory presented in this paper will increase clinicians' understanding of the process involved in the transition to motherhood for women with a disability.

“…In a study on nursing knowledge patterns that can be considered a model, four levels can be classified: empirical scientific, ethical, personal and aesthetic (16) . Countless researchers have followed this classification of nursing knowledge patterns (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) , from different perspectives, but respecting what is essential in the classification and the principles the same author established. Some years later, a study was published that critically analyzes Carper's contributions, and also manifests the positive aspects of his work, which adds a new pattern -the sociopolitical -which supposes, in line with Heidegger's concept of being "there", developed in "Being and Time", taking the historical, geographic, ideological and sociocultural context into account in the ways knowledge is structured (23) .…”

The aim of this study was to clarify the role of aesthetics in the organization and motivation of care through history. The guiding questions were: What values and aesthetic feelings have supported and motivated pre-professional and professional care? and Based on what structures has pre-professional and professional care been historically socialized? Primary and secondary sources were consulted, selected according to established criteria with a view to avoiding search and selection bias. Data analysis was guided by the categories:"habitus" and "logical conformism". It was found that the relation between social structures and pre-professionals (motherhood, religiosity) and professional aesthetic standards (professionalism, technologism) of care through history is evidenced in the caregiving activity of the functional unit, in the functional framework and the functional element.In conclusion, in social structures, through the socialization process, "logical conformism" and "habitus" constitute the aesthetic standards of care through feelings like motherhood, religiosity, professionalism, technologism and humanism.

“…The four patterns are empirical (theory, evidence), esthetic (sensation/ caring), personal knowledge (self), and ethical (doing the right thing). Silva, Sorrell and Sorrell (1995) critiqued Caper's article related to knowledge development and offered two additional patterns of knowing -inexplicable and unknowing.…”

Both theoretical thinking and practical wisdom are used by health professionals in their clinical practice. Lately, discussion has centered on the abstract phrase "theory-practice gap." The health profession is not the only discipline that seeks unity in theory and practice issues. Education is also building bridges in this arena. One reoccurring myth is the notion that theory and practice are separate; as a result, this gives a mistaken impression that theory serves no purpose in practice. Discussion of the issues in this paper includes definitions of theoretical thinking and practical wisdom, theoretical and practical knowledge development, and relevance to health professional's education, practice and science. These issues must be communicated to practitioners, educators and theorists. A collective definition to begin communication is proposed and suggestions are offered for addressing key issues.
