Abstract

Chaos theory (non-linear dynamics) is a relatively new mathematical concept. It shows that many apparently random processes and structures have in fact a simple underlying order. The theory is being applied increasingly to explain physiological processes and epidemiological findings, as well as in non-health areas, such as modelling weather systems. The author argues for its future inclusion as a modular option in post-registration critical care/high technology nursing courses.
