Description
Summary:The ongoing movement to decolonize nursing remains largely shaped by Global North perspectives. In solidarity with Global South voices working to center marginalized knowledge systems within nursing scholarship, this critical essay proposes Narsolohiyang Pilipino as a decolonial paradigm for theorizing nursing grounded in Filipino epistemologies and lifeways. Anchored in the Pluriverse of Nursologies (PoN), the paper advocates for the pluricentricity of nursing knowledge beyond Western and Global North (W&GN) paradigms. It begins by establishing PoN as the paper's philosophical foundation, then articulates the rationale for formalizing Filipino nursologies. Next, it describes Narsolohiyang Pilipino as a tentative decolonial paradigm for pagdadalumat (theorizing) in nursing, identifying its key philosophical movements: pagbaklas (disassembling) and pag-ugnay (connecting). Lastly, the paper presents a brief exemplar of Filipino nursological analysis through the local concept of pakikiramdam (relational attunement), then it maps the possibilities, challenges, and caveats of advancing Narsolohiyang Pilipino.
