incorporates experience, knowing, and actualizing the self within
practice
different experiences that you have encountered in order for you
to come up with a decision
PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE
come from teachers
knowledge and skills itself
these are what we have learned in UST

T
identifies the philosophical assumptions or
conceptual framework from which it proceeds
In Research
an aspect of reality that can be consciously sensed or experienced
“the subject matter of a discipline
Phenomenon
3 types of Nursing Knowledge
Education
Research
Practice
Facilitation of reflecting, questioning, and thinking about what
nurses do
Proven to be true/effective
IN CLINICAL PRACTICE
the statements that describe concepts or connect concepts that are factual
Assumptions
Nursing used in establishing the position of the profession in the
university – more firmly established in academia than in practice
In Education
4 components of a Theory
Concepts
Definitions
Assumptions
Phenomenon
theory consists of interrelated concepts
abstract ideas
Concepts
Identify and fill in gaps in the approach to specific fields of study
New ideas, research questions, and interpretations
New Theoretical Perspectives
the general meaning of the concepts in a matter that fits the theory
Definitions
the general meaning of the concepts in a matter that fits the theory
Definitions
5 Characteristics of a Theory
Clarity Simplicity General Accessibility Importance
diagrams and examples may facilitate clarity which helps with
understanding

Assessment Diagnosis Planning Intervention Evaluation
T or F
nurses need complex theories to guide practice
F
nurses need simple theories
Elegant in its simplicity, even though it may be broad in context
PARSIMONY
T or F
If a theory has a lot of concepts, the relationship between the
concepts must be okay with or without validated so that it can clearly identify the ideas
and their relationship
F
it should be validated ALWAYS
T or F
the theory must have consistency and structural clarity
T
to determine the generality of a theory, examine the concepts and goals
of the theory
General
T or F
the situations the theory applies to should be limited
F
it should not be limited
kasi dapat general ang pag aaplyan ng theories
T or F
“The most useful theory provides the greatest sense of understanding”
T
T or F
theory that is being stated should be comprehensive but easy to
understand so that you do not have problems when you try to apply
the theory in actual
T
empirical precision refers to the extent that the defined concepts are
grounded in observable reality
ACCESIBILITY
The concepts being stipulated in this theory should be defined in a
consistent manner
Clarity
T or F
We still need to conduct research in order to be sure that a theory is
effective, especially when we do not have the same access of
resources as with the one used in said theory
T
T or F
THEORIES ARE TENTATIVE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Creation of theories takes years.
T
other scientists should be able to evaluate and verify the results themselves
Accessbility
this is linked to the testability and the ultimate use of the theory ‒ how well
the evidence supports the theory (match between theoretical claims and the
empirical
Accessibilty
When you select a theory is it really needed for the study that you
are conducting?
What are the benefits or contributions it can provide in the field of nursing
Importance

nursing theory guides research and practice
