Q

Characteristics of Theories

A
  • Can correlate concepts/generate a different way of looking at a certain fact or phenomenon
  • Logical in nature
  • Simple but generally broad in nature
  • Can be the source of hypotheses that can be tested for it to be elaborated
  • Contribute in enriching the general body of knowledge
  • Can be used by practitioners to direct and enhance their practice
  • Consistent with other validated theories, laws and principles but will open unanswered issues that need to be tested
34
Q

What are the different types of Theories according to Function?

A
  1. Descriptive Theories also known as Factor- Isolating Theories
  2. Explanatory Theories or Factor-Relating Theories
  3. Predictive Theories otherwise known as Situation-Relating Theories
  4. Prescriptive Theories also called Situation-Producing Theories
35
Q
  • To know the properties and workings of a discipline.
  • The primary level of theory development.
  • Identify and describe major concepts of phenomena.
A

Descriptive Theories/Factor- Isolating Theories

36
Q

Main purpose: to present a phenomenon based on the five senses together with their corresponding meaning.

A

Descriptive Theories/Factor- Isolating Theories

37
Q
  • To examine how properties relate and thus affect the discipline.
  • Present relationship among concepts and propositions.
A

Explanatory Theories or Factor-Relating Theories

38
Q
  • Aim to provide information on how or why concepts are related.
    Example : A research study on factors affecting newborns failure to thrive.
A

Explanatory Theories or Factor-Relating Theories

39
Q
  • To calculate relationships between properties and how they occur
  • Describe future outcomes consistently.
  • Generated and tested using experimental research.
    Example: A theoretical model based on the observation of unsanitary environmental condition on the recovery of the post-operative patients
A

Predictive Theories otherwise known as Situation-Relating Theories

40
Q
  • To identify under which conditions relationships occurs.
  • Test the validity and certainty of specific nursing interventions.
  • Commonly used in testing new nursing interventions.
    Example: Laurente’s theory validates and explains the different nursing management in the emergency room in relieving anxiety among clients.

association
learning
reasoning

reasoning

70
Q

Acquiring experience, skills, information and values

A

association

72
Q

73
Q

Knowledge emerges from a range of sources which can be categorized into three namely

A

traditional, authoritative, and scientific sources

74
Q

a nursing practice which is passed down from generation to generation. When asked about the basis of nursing practice the answer would be as simple as “It’s always been practiced this way.”

A

traditional knowledge

75
Q

an idea by a person of authority which is perceived as true because of his/her expertise.

A

authoritative knowledge

76
Q

a type of knowledge which came from a scientific method through research. These new ideas are tested and measured systematically using objective criteria

A

scientific knowledge

77
Q

is the application of systematic, scientific methods to study phenomena and generate knowledge. Research may generate theory when executed with an inductive approach or it may test theory when conducted with a deductive approach.

A

research

78
Q

is a form of reasoning that is loosely described as moving from the specific to the general. In inductive research, particular events are observed and interpreted as a basis for formulating general theoretical statements such as phenomenology or grounded theory.

A

induction reasoning

79
Q

is a form of logical reasoning that is loosely described as progressing from the general to the specific. Two or more relational statements are used to draw a conclusion .From the theoretical relationships, specific empirical hypotheses are derived.

A

deduction reasoning

80
Q

combines induction and deduction to originate ideas. This form of reasoning uses analogy as a method of devising theory
