frameworks, analysis questions Flashcards
(nursing framework) that includes
the broad conceptual boundaries of
nursing knowledge, human beings,
health nursing and environment.
metaparadigm level
(nursing framework) is the most abstract type
and sets forth the meaning of nursing
phenomena through analysis, reasoning
and logical presentation
philosophy
(nursing framework) They provide broad understanding that
advance the discipline of nursing and its
professional applications.
philosophy
(nursing framework) are set of
concepts that address phenomena
central to nursing in proposition that
explains relationships among them
nursing conceptual model
(nursing framework) they are comprehensive and each
address the metaparadigm concepts of
person, environment, health and nursing
nursing conceptual model
(nursing framework) They provide perspective with different
foci for critical thinking about person,
families and communities and for
making knowledgeable nursing decision
nursing conceptual model
(nursing framework) works derived from
conceptual model and
proposes an abstract testable theory
grand theory
(nursing framework) They propose a testable action - They
may be specific to a particular aspect or
setting of nursing practice.
theory
(nursing framework) works derived from nursing
philosophies, conceptual models, grand
theories, abstract nursing theories or
works in other discipline
theory
(nursing framework) most specific
focus and is concrete in its level of
abstraction -they are precise and answer
specific nursing practice questions
middle-range theory
(nursing framework) They address the specifics of nursing
situations within the perspective of the
model or from which they are derived.
middle-range theory
(characteristics of…?) The situation or health condition of the
clients
* Client/patient population or age group
* Location or area of practice
* Action of the nurse or intervention
* The client/patient outcome anticipated

Carried out to acquire knowledge of
theoretical adequacy
Analysis of Theory
It is an important process for learning,
developing research projects and for
expanding the associated science with the theoretical works of nursing in the future.
Analysis of Theory
(Analysis Questions) Word should be defined
specifically according to the
framework
Clarity
(Analysis Questions) the most useful theory provides the
greatest sense of understanding
Simplicity
(Analysis Questions) It provides guidance for practice
- Brief but complete
Simplicity
(Analysis Questions) -scope of application and the purpose within
the theory
- The broader the scope, the greater the
significance of the theory
Generality
(Analysis Questions) - Abstract theory from which numerous
middle range theories are generated
Generality
(Analysis Questions) testability and ultimate use of theory to describe aspects of practice Nurse scientist should be able to evaluate and verify results by themselves
Accessibility
(Analysis Questions) -testability refers to the theory’s capacity to
generate hypotheses and be subjected to
empirical research
Accessibility
(Analysis Questions) - Theories reveal what knowledge nurses
must and should spend time pursuing.
Importance
(Analysis Questions) nursing theory guides research and
practice, generates new knowledge and
differentiate the focus of nursing from that
of other discipline
Importance
(Structure level example) person, environment, health, nursing
metaparadigm
(Structure level example) nightingale’s philosophy
philosophy
(Structure level example) neuman’s system model
conceptual model
(Structure level example) neuman’s optimal client stability
grand theory
(Structure level example) flexible life of defense moderate client stability
theory
(Structure level example) maintaining optimal client stability with structured activity in a community setting for healthy aging
middle-range theory
- Utilizes in its practice a well-defined and
well-organized body of specialized
knowledge (that) is on the intellectual level
of the higher learning
Structure of Nursing Knowledge
