Module 1 chpt 4,5,6

Question 1

problem statement

Answer 1

articulate the nature, context, and significance of a problem include several components organized to form an argument for a new study

Question 2

Theory of planned behaviour

Answer 2

1. volition to perform behaviour
2. intention based on attitude toward behaviour, subjective norms (social pressure), and perceived control
3. importance of these factors varies

Question 3

classical theory

Answer 3

abstract generalizations that explain how phemon are interrelated

Question 4

descriptive theory

Answer 4

broad representation that throughly describe a phenom - QUALITATIVE research

Question 5

Grand theory

Answer 5

macrotheroy that describes large segments of human experience
the whole of nursing, goals, mission statements

Question 6

Middle-range theory

Answer 6

explain decision making, stress, comfort, unpleasant symptoms
more specific and amendable to empirical testing.

Question 7

practical theory

Answer 7

microtheory; situation-specific

highly specific, narrow scope, action oriented

Question 8

conceptual model

Answer 8

less formal than theory (concepts are building blocks of theory)
springboard for developing hypothesis but are NOT tested.

Question 9

schematic model

Answer 9

visual representations of a theory - boxes with lines, helos with abstract thoughts to be visually easier to understand

Question 10

framework

Answer 10

overall underpinnings of a study- the FRAME of the study - can be conceptual or theoretical

Question 11

role of theories and models

Answer 11

• integrate observations and facts into orderly schemes
• guide research in WHAT and WHY
• basis for predicting phenom-provide direction and impetus
• springboard for advances

Question 12

relationship btw theory and research

Answer 12

• reciprocal
• theories are build inductively from research and observations
• concepts and relationships are validated through research
• theory guides research, research validates theories to create building blocks for new theories

Question 13

Roy’s adaptation model

Answer 13

humans are biophysical adaptive systems

nursing intervations manipulate stimuli that affect adaptation

Question 14

Orem’s self care deficit theory

Answer 14

requires self-care activities to maintain life (air, water, food, elimination, activity/rest, solitude/social interaction, hazard prevention, promotion of normalcy)
patient need nursing care when their demands for self care outweigh their abilities

Question 15

selecting a theory

Answer 15

• has the theory done a good job of explaining, predicting or describing constructs that are key to the research problem
• has it been applied to similar research problems?
• is it operational and do instruments exist?
• is it compatible with world view?
