Advanced Theoretical Perspective for Nursing

Nursing Theory Analysis Paper

Overview/Description:

The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and
discuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment
also provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to
nursing phenomena. Learners will develop an 8-10 page paper (excluding the
title page and references) using APA style to address the elements listed
below.

Theory/Author Name and Background

Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to
your practice setting.

Describe the theorist’s background in detail and discuss how
their experiences have impacted the theory development.

Examine crucial references for the original and/or current
work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected theory.

Identify the phenomenon of concern or problems addressed by
the theory.

Theory Description

Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or
retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion.

Describe the major concepts of the theory. How are they
defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author consistent in the
use of the concepts and other terms in the theory?

Interpret how the concepts are defined. Implicitly or
explicitly?

Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major
concepts.

Evaluation

Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs)
underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory build?

Examine if the theory has a description of the four concepts
of the nursing metaparadigm. If so, how are they explained in the theory? If
the metapardigm is not explained, what elements do you see as relevant to the
theory and why?

Discuss the clarity of the theory. Did it have lucidness and
consistency?

Application

Examine how the theory would guide nursing actions.

Describe specifically how you can use this theory in your
area of nursing (Practice, Education, Informatics or Administration).
