    Scope of Theories and Analysis

    Uploaded by

    mesdejen
    Conceptual structures are nearly as abstract as nursing models but propose outcomes based on applying the model in practice. They provide different perspectives on person, health, and environment to think about nursing and address core concepts. Lower in abstraction than grand theories, they offer a more direct application to research and practice by specifying factors like patient age, nursing actions, and outcomes. They lie between grand theories and micro-level concepts by synthesizing practice and research to inform both. Known as the most concrete, micro-level concepts link specific ideas to what can be observed in practice and research.

    Conceptual structures that are nearly as abstract as the nursing models from which they are derived but

    propose outcomes based on use and application of the model in the nursing practice.
    All-inclusive conceptual structures, abstract, including different perspective views of person, health and environment Provide different ways of thinking about nursing and address the metaparadigm concepts that are central to its meaning.

    Lower

    in level of abstraction than grand theories, they offer a more direct application to research and practice
    to nursing practice and specify the area of practice, age, range of the patient, nursing action or intervention and proposed outcome

    at the intersection of research and practice, practice generates research questions, and research informs understanding of theory and practice.

    Criteria

    Questions to be asked

    Clarity

    Is the theory clearly stated? How clear is the theory? Is it easily understood?
    How simple is the theory? How general is the theory? How broad is the scope of the theory? Is the theory testable? How accessible is the theory?

    Simplicity Generality Empirical Precision

    Derivable Consequences

    How important is the theory? Does the theory have a significant contribution to nursing knowledge?
