    The document discusses the theoretical foundations of nursing. It defines key concepts like theory, components of a theory, and paradigm. Nursing theory guides practice by organizing patient data, understanding patients, analyzing data, and evaluating outcomes. The study of theory must be rooted in everyday nursing practice. Nursing's domain centers on the relationships between person, health, environment, and nursing. Current trends in medical science, education, research, and technology influence the ongoing development of nursing theory.

    THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS IN NURSING

    Samantha Louise C. Sunglao

    THEORY - a set of concepts, definitions,


    relationships, and assumptions that
    project a systematic view of phenomena. WHY DO WE STUDY NURSING:

    relatively specific and concrete ● Both practice and theory are
    concepts and propositions that guided by values and beliefs.
    purport to account for, or organize ● Theory helps reframe our thinking
    some phenomenon (Barnum, about nursing.
    1988). ● Theory guides the use of ideas
    and techniques.
    COMPONENTS OF A THEORY: ● Theory can close the gap between
    ● CONCEPTS - ideas and mental theory and research.
    images that help describe ● To envision potentialities (Gordon,
    phenomena (Alligood and Parker, and Jester, 2001).
    Marriner-Tomey, 2002).
    ● DEFINITIONS - convey the “THE STUDY AND USE OF NURSING
    general meaning of the concepts. THEORY IN NURSING PRACTICE MUST

    ● Phenomenon - aspect of reality Parker, and Jester, 2001)”.
    that can be consciously sensed or
    experienced (Meleis, 1997).
    USING THEORY IN EVERYDAY
    PARADIGM - a model that explains the PRACTICE (NURSE PRACTITIONER):
    linkages of science, philosophy, and ● Organize patient data.
    theory accepted and applied by the ● Understand patient data.
    discipline (Alligood and Marriner-Tomey, ● Analyze patient data.
    2002). ● Make decisions about nursing
    interventions.
    DOMAIN - this is defined as the view or ● Plan patient care.
    perspective of the discipline. ● Predict outcomes of care.
    - Contains the subject, central ● Evaluate the patient outcomes

    phenomena or interests, and the
    central problems of the discipline. USING THE6ORY IN EVERYDAY

    ● It helps describe or explain
    nursing.
    ● Enables nurses to know WHAT
    and WHY they are doing practices.
    LINK BETWEEN NURSING THEORY
    AND RESEARCH PROCESS:
    ● The theory provides direction for
    nursing research.
    ● Relationships of components in a
    theory help drive the research
    questions for understanding
    nursing.
    ● Chinn and Kramer (2004), indicate
    a spiral relationship between the
    two.
