During the latter half of the 20th century, the development of numerous nursing theories has enriched nursing scholarship and education worldwide, a movement initially led by North American scholars. Recently, nurses outside of North America have begun to reformulate these theories in order to make them relevant in other contexts. This study summarizes those movements in developing an international theory of nursing and suggests future directions for such a theory.
