d. Theory Era
An organized system of accepted knowledge. It is also composed of concepts, propositions, definitions, assumptions intended to explain a set of fact, event, or phenomena
Theory
An idea formulated by the mind or an experience perceived and observed. This can be seen by your senses.
Concept/s
What are the theory components?
a. Concepts
b. Definition
c. Proposition
d. Assumption
e. Theory
This type of concept is mentally constructed, and independent of a specific time or place.
Abstract Concept
This type of concept is directly experienced, and can relate to a particular time or place.
Concrete Concept
The following are abstract concepts EXCEPT:
a. Transportation
b. Stroke, Left-Sided Heart Failure
c. Loss of relationship
d. Cardiovascular disease
b. Stroke, Left-Sided Heart Failure
This type of concept is non-variable. This identifies categories or classes of phenomena.
[E.g. gender (male or female)]
Discrete Concept
This type of concept can have a variable. This permits classification of dimensions or gradations of a phenomenon.
[E.g. Score on Pain Scale (1 to 10)]
Continuous Concept
Is composed of various descriptions which convey a general meaning and reduces vagueness in understanding a set of concept.
Definition
What are the two types of Defiition?
Conceptual Definition, and Operational Definitions
This type of definition has an established meaning.
Conceptual Definition
This type of definition provides measurement, and has a greater understanding on how it js used to study.
Operational Definition
This explains the relationships of different concepts.
Proposition
It is a statement that specifies the relationship or connection of factual concepts or phenomena.
Assumption
Through the components, when can you say that it can be formed into a theory.
When the components are systematically organized.
A theory can be used to view a phenomena if the theory can:
Describe
Explain
Predict
Prescribe
It is a set of empirical data or experiences that can he physically observed or tangible
Phenomenon
Classifications of Nursing Theories according to Function.
This classification is to know the properties and working of a discipline.
Descriptive
Classifications of Nursing Theories according to Function.
This classification is where one examines how properties relate and how it affects the discipline.
Explanatory
Classification of Nursing Theories according to Function.
This classification is when one identifies which conditions, the different relationships that occur.
Prescriptive
What are the factors that should be considered when analyzing and evaluating a theory?
- Clarity
- Simplicity
- Generality
- Empirical Precision
- Importance
