Used in quantitative research and sometimes in qualitative research

FRAMEWORK

theoretical framework

THEORY

Words/terms that is easily made for observation

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

observable variables, can be measured

OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK

behavior that is reinforced/rewarded will tend to be repeated and therefore learned

CLASSICAL LEARNING THEORY

model/framework for explaining or defining theory; fundamental model or scheme that organizes idea

ASSUMPTION

NURSING THEORIES CLASSIFICATION BASIS

A. SCOPE/RANGE OR ABSTRACTNESS B. TYPE OR PURPOSE

SCOPE OF THEORY

based on complexity and degree of abstraction

SCOPE OF THEORY

INCLUDES ITS LEVEL OF SPECIFITY AND THE CONCRETENESS OF ITS CONCEPTS AND PROPOSITIONS

what are the types of theory

METATHEORY GRAND THEORY/MACRO THEORY MIDDLE RANGE THEORY PRACTICE THEORY/MICROTHEORY

The most complex and broadest scope therory

GRAND THEORY/MACRO THEORY

attempts to explain broad areas within a discipline and may incorporate numerous other theories

GRAND THEORY/MACROTHEORY

broadly conceptualized and is usually applied to a general area of a specific discipline

GRAND THEORY/MACROTHEORY

AKA philopsophy or worldview

METATHEORY

refers to a theory about a theory

METATHEORY

In nursing, it focuses on broad issues such as the process of generating knowledge and theory development

METATHEORY

Substantially specific, encompasses limited number of concepts and a limited aspect of the real world

MIDDLE RANGE THEORY

Composed of relatively concrete concepts that can be operationally defined and relatively concrete propositions that may be empirically tested

MIDDLE RANGE THEORY

A description of a phenomenon. An explanation of the relationship between phenomena or a prediction of the effects of one phenomenon to another

MIDDLE RANGE THEORY

AKA situation-specific theory or prescriptive theory

PRACTICE THEORY/MICROTHEORY

The least complex theory, narrowest in scope

PRACTICE THEORY/MICROTHEORY

theory that contains the fewest concepts, refers to specific, easily defined phenomena

PRACTICE THEORY/MICROTHEORY

Theory that explains aspect of reality and is intended to be prescriptive, usually limited to a specific population of field of practice

PRACTICE THEORY/MICROTHEORY

A mental idea of a phenomenon

CONCEPT

A general idea formed in the mind

CONCEPT

A unit of thought

CONCEPT

A comprehensive idea or generalization

CONCEPT

A comprehensive explanation of a given set of data that has been repeatedly confirmed by observation and experimentation and has gained general acceptance within the scientific community but has not been yet decisively proven

THEORY

A construct that accounts for or organizes some phenomena

THEORY

A set of statements that tentatively describe, explain or predict relationships among concepts that have been systematically selected and organized as an abstract representation of some phenomenon

THEORY

A coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation

THEORY

A basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct

PRINCIPLE

A body of knowledge that describes or explains nursing and is used to suppor nursing practice

NURSING THEORY

An organixed and systematic articulation of a set of statements related to questions in the discipline of nursing

NURSING THEORY

A creative and rigorous structing of ideas that project a tentative, purposeful, and systematic view of phenomena. though systematic inquiry, through systematic inquiry, nurses are able to develop knowledge relevant to improving careeof patients

NURSING THEOY

representation of an idea or body of knowledge based on the own understanding or perception of a person

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK/MODEL

A set of concepts and the proposition that integrates them into a meaningful configuration

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK/MODEL

composed of concepts or constructs that describe ideas about individuals, groups, situations and events of particular interest of discipline

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK/MODEL

Refers to the way different ideas, thoughts or principles connect, influence or depend on each other

INTERRELATING CONCEPTS

Based on a reason, logic or rational thinking

LOGICAL IN NATURE

Something that can be applied or extended to a wider range of situations or contexts

GENERALIZABLE

Proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested through experimentation or observation

BASIS FOR HYPOTHESIS THAT CAN BE TESTED

COMPONENTS OF A THEORY

CONCEPTS DEFINITIONS ASSUMPTIONS PHENOMENON

Helps to describe or label a phenomenon

CONCEPTS

The_______ within the description of a theory convey the general meaning of the concepts in a manner that fits the theory.

DEFINITIONS

These also describe the activity necessary to measure the constructs, relationships, or variables within a theory

DEFINITIONS

These also describe the activity necessary to measure the constructs, relationships, or variables within a theory

DEFINITIONS

Statements that describe concepts or connect two concepts that are factual. "taken for granted"

ASSUMPTIONS

Theories whose subject matter are some other theories

METATHEORIES

These are theories bout theories

METATHEORY

Used to generate knowledge and theory development

METATHEORIES

Theory that is broad in scope and complex and therefore require further specification through research before they can be fully tested

GRAND THEORIES

Intended to provide structural framework for broad, abstract ideas about nursing

GRAND THEORIES

This theory have more limited scope, addresses specific phenomena or concepts and reflect practice

MIDDLE-RANGE THEORY

This theory tend to "cross different nursing fields, and reflect a wide variety of nursing situations

MIDDLE-RANGE THEORY

Theory that is applied in many situations and readily operationalized. outcome oriented

MIDDLE-RANGE THEORY

This theory addresses nursing interventions and predict the consequences of a specific nursing intervention

PRESCRIPTIVE THEORY

This type of theory is action oriented (validity and predictability of nursing interventions could be tested)

PRESCRIPTIVE THEORIES

First level of theory development. Describe phenomena/speculate on why pehnomena occur/describe the consequences of phenomena

DESCRIPTIVE THEORY

Theory in which concepts are narrowly defined. Least complex in nature and more specific than middle range. provide specific directions and limited to specific populations

PRACTICE/MICRO THEORIES (OTHERS)

IMPORTANCE OF NURSING THEORIES

Aims to describe, predict and explain the phenomenonof nursing. Provide foundations of nursing practice, help to generate further knowledge and indicate in which direction nursing should develop in the future. Help to distinguish what should form the basis of practice by explicitly describing nursing

A model that explains linkages of science, philosophy, and theory accepted and applied by the discipline

PARADIGM

A model that explains linkages of science, philosophy, and theory accepted and applied by the discipline

PARADIGM

IMPORTANCE OF NURSING THEORIES

Help provide better patient care, enhanced professional status for nurses, improved communication between nurses, and guidance for research and education. establish a unique body of knowledge maintain professional boundaries in nursing

The main exponent of nursing

CARING

The view or perspective of the discipline

DOMAIN

It contains the subject, central concepts, values and beliefs, phenomena of interest, and the central problems of the discipline

DOMAIN

It contains the subject, central concepts, values and beliefs, phenomena of interest, and the central problems of the discipline

DOMAIN

enumerate the four linkages of nursing paradigm

PERSON HEALTH ENVIRONMENT NURSING

A specific area of expert knowledge

DOMAIN

The recipient of nursing care

PEOPLE (INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES, GROUPS)

Includes factors that affect individuals internally and externally. it means not only everyday sorroundings but also settings where nursing care is provided

ENVIRONMENT

it is the "diagnosis and treatment" of human responses to actual or potential health problems
