REQUIREMENTS

Description
of the Assignment?

This
assignment presents a modified method for conducting a concept analysis
of?ONE?concept that is important and useful to the nurse practitioner role.?
The concept for this assignment must be supported by a
published?nursing?theory. The selected concept is identified and then the
elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge
for application as demonstrated through the creation of model, borderline, and
contrary cases.? Theoretical applications of the concept are also discussed.
Non-nursing theories may?NOT?be used. The paper concludes with a synthesis of
the student’s new knowledge about the concept. The scholarly literature is
incorporated throughout the analysis.??Only the elements identified in this
assignment should be used for this concept analysis.??

Criteria for Content?

Introduction-
The introduction substantively presents all the following elements:??

Identifies
the role of concept analysis within theory development.?

Identifies
the selected?nursing?concept.?

Identifies
the?nursing?theory that addresses the selected concept.?

Names the
sections of the paper.?

Scholarly
support is required.?

Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing
concept?

Defines/explains
the concept using scholarly literature (a dictionary maybe used for this
section ONLY, and additional scholarly nursing references are required).?

A
substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is
required.?

Literature
review?

A
substantive discussion of?at least 6 (six)?scholarly nursing literature sources
on the selected concept.

Themes,
ideas, and/or facts about the concept found in the reviewed sources are
presented in an organized fashion.?

Support
from nursing literature is required.?

Please
Note:?Primary research articles about the selected nursing concept are the most
useful resource for the literature review.?

Defining
attributes,?for this section:? A minimum of?THREE (3)?attributes are required.?

A
substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is
required. Explanation:? An attribute identifies characteristics of a concept.
?For this situation, the characteristics of the selected nursing concept are
identified and discussed.?

Antecedent
and Consequence?

1
antecedent?of the selected nursing concept.?

1
consequence?of the selected nursing concept.?

A
substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is
required.?Explanation:?An antecedent is an identifiable occurrence that
precedes an event.? In this situation, an antecedent precedes a selected
nursing concept. A consequence follows or is the result of an event. In this
situation, a consequence follows or is the result of the selected nursing
concept.??

Empirical
Referents?

Two
(2)?empirical referents of the selected nursing concept.?

A
substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is
required.? Explanation: An empirical referent is an objective ways to measure
or determine the presence of the selected nursing concept.?

Construct
Cases?

Explanation:?Hypothetical
or real-life situations demonstrating the use or absence of the concept.?This
section requires the creation of a model case, borderline case, and contrary
case. Construct cases should be from the viewpoint of an advanced practice NP.

1 Model
Case?is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating
within the case each of the following areas:?

Definition

All
identified attributes. Explanation:??A model case is an example of a
hypothetical or real-life situation that demonstrates all of the attributes
noted previously in this assignment.?

Borderline
Case?is created by the student in which one or two of the previously identified
attributes are missing.?

1 Contrary
Case?is created by the student that demonstrates the opposite of the selected
nursing concepts. All identified attributes of the concept are absent in
this?case. Explanation:? Borderline case is a created case where one or two of
the previously identified attributes are missing. Contrary case is a created
case that demonstrate the complete opposite of the selected nursing concept –
all identified attributes are missing.?

Theoretical
Applications of the Concept?

Discuss the
purpose of a concept analysis in relationship to theory.?

Explain how
the concept applies to the selected nursing theory.?

A
substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is
required.?

Conclusion?

Summarization
of key information regarding:?

Selected
nursing concept.?

Selected
nursing theory.?

Application
of concept analysis findings to advanced practice nursing, specifically as an
NP.?

The concluding statements include
self-reflection on the new knowledge gained from conducting a concept analysis.
(Self-reflection may be written in first-person.)?
