盧賓是傑出的產科護理理論家。此文回顧與分析盧賓的每一篇著述,並闡述她對病人、處境、護理照顧、護理診斷和護理研究的假定。其他學者依據盧賓之產後改變和母性撫觸概念所發表的研究亦加以檢視。文中提出現代母育護理相關之研究問題,這些問題期能經由護理研究得到實證解答。護理科學家應繼續盧賓的「護理照顧模式即研究模式」。
Each of Rubin's writings was reviewed and analyzed. Her assumptions about patient, situation, nursing care, nursing diag] identified. Published research projects based on Rubin's concept of puerperal change and maternal touch were also examin lated to today's maternity nursing which is quite different from that of Rubin's age were raised; these questions will only be answered through nursing research. It is recommended that nursing scientists pursue Rubin's nursing care model as a research model.
