    abstract = "Aims The aims of this paper are to explore the role of
cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange and integration in advancing the
science of unfinished nursing care and to offer preliminary guidance for
theory development activities for this growing international community
of scholars. Background Unfinished nursing care, also known as missed
care or rationed care is a highly prevalent problem with negative
consequences for patients, nurses and healthcare organizations around
the world. It presents as a `wicked' sustainability problem resulting
from structural obstacles to effective resource allocation that have
been resistant to conventional solutions. Research activity related to
this problem is on the rise internationally but is hindered by
inconsistencies in conceptualizations of the problem and lack of robust
theory development around the phenomenon. A unified conceptual framework
is needed to focus scholarly activities and facilitate advancement of a
robust science of unfinished nursing care. Design Discussion paper. Data
Sources This discussion paper is based on our own experiences in
international and interdisciplinary research partnerships related to
unfinished nursing care. These experiences are placed in the context of
both classic and current literature related to the evolution of
scientific knowledge. Implications for Nursing The problem of unfinished
nursing care crosses multiple scientific disciplines. It is imperative
that the community of scholars interested in solving this wicked problem
engage in meaningful cross-disciplinary knowledge integration and move
towards transdisciplinarity. Conclusion Metatheorizing guided by
structuration theory should be considered as a strategy to promote
transdiciplinarity around the problem of unfinished nursing care."
