THEORY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Flashcards
silent knowledge, received knowledge, subjective knowledge, procedural knowledge, constructed knowledge
STAGES IN THE DEV OF NUR THEORY
based on rules and traditions passed on as apprentice
SK: blind obedience to med authority
IRT: little attempt to dev theory research limited to collection of epidemiologic data
SILENT KNO
SK: learning through listening to others
IRT: theories borrowed from other discipline, nurses acquired non-nur doc degrees
RECEIVED KNO
SK: autho was internalized and a new sense of self emerged.
IRT: nega attitude towards borrowed theory and sci emerged. Nurse scho focused on defining nur and on dev theories about and for nur. Research focused on the nurse rather than the client.
SUBJECTIVE KNO
Viewed themselves as sci discip toward sci based prac
SK: includes both sep and connected kno
IRT: prolif of approaches to theory dev. App of theory underemphasized. Emphasis placed on procedures used to acquire kno
PROCEDURAL KNO
the current stage
SK: integration of diff types of kno
IRT: nur theory should be based on prior empirical studs, theoretical lit, client report of clinical exp and feeling and the nurse’s scho’s intuition or kno about the phenomenon of concern.
CONSTRUCTED KNO
person and health, person and envi, health and nur, person, envi, and health
RS AMONG THE METPA CONC
laws and principles that govern with life processes, wellbeing and optimal functioning of human being.
PERSON AND HEALTH
nur is concerned with patterning of human behavior in interaction with the environment in all life situation.
PERSON AND ENVI
concerned with the nur action or process by which positive changes in health status are affected.
HEALTH AND NUR
nur is concerned with the wholeness of the health of human beings being aware of its continuous interactions with their environments.
PERSON, ENVI, AND HEALTH
desc theo, explanatory theo, predictive theo, and prescriptive theo
NUR THEORIES ACC TO FUNC
also known as Factor-isolating theory
DESC THEORY
also known as factor-relating theory
EXPLANATORY THEORY
Situation-relating theory
PREDICTIVE THEORY
Situation-producing theory
PRESCRIPTIVE THEORY
Identify and describe major concepts of phenomena
DESC THEORY
present phenomena based on five senses
DESC THEORY
present rs among concepts and propositions
EXPLANATORY THEORY
present cause and effect rs
EXPLANATORY THEORY
rs of concepts under a certain condition are able to describe future outcomes consistently.
PREDICTIVE THEORY
Test the validity and certainty of specific nur interventions
PRESCRIPTIVE THEORY
metatheory, grand theory, middle-range theory, micro-range theory, practice theories, partial theories.
NUR THEORIES BASED ON SCOPE
subject matter is some theory, concerned with the investigation, analysis, or description of theory itself.
METATHEORY
broad in scope and comlplex
GRAND THEORY
more limited scope
MIDDLE-RANGE THEORY
most concrete and narrow in space
MICRO-RANGE THEORY
limited to specific population or fields of practice
PRACTICE THEORIES
theories that are in the development stage
PARTIAL THEORIES
clarity, simplicity, generality, empirical precision, derivable consequences
ANALYSIS AND EVAL OF A THEORY
address specific phenomena or concepts and reflect practice
MIDDLE-RANGE THEORY
reflect a wide variety of nursing care situations
MIDDLE-RANGE THEORY
require further specs through research before they can be fully tested
GRAND THEORY
self-care theory
OREM’S
system model
NEUMAN’S
adaptation model
ROY’S
psychodynamic nursing
HILDEGARD PEPLAU
transcultural theory in nursing
MADELEINE LEININGER
situation specific and limited to particular population
MICRO-RANGE THEORY
easily defined phenomena
PRACTICE THEORIES
semantics and structure are important
CLARITY
identify concepts and sub-concepts
CLARITY
words should be defined operationally
CLARITY
diagram should be clear and consistent
CLARITY
assumption should be consistent with the defined goals of the theory.
CLARITY
must be adequately comprehensive
SIMPLICITY
must have as few concepts as possible
SIMPLICITY
offers greatest sense of understanding
SIMPLICITY
examine scope of concepts and goals
GENERALITY
the more the limited the concepts and goal is, the less general the theory becomes
GENERALITY
situations in which theory is applicable should be boundless
GENERALITY
degree in which the defined concepts are observable in actual setting
EMPIRICAL PRECISION
can be measured by the evidences that support the theory
EMPIRICAL PRECISION
should give direction to research and practice, create new ideas and ought to distinguish the focus of nursing to other professions.
