Study Notes
Types of Concepts in Nursing Knowledge
- There are three types of concepts in nursing knowledge: personal, conceptual, and theoretical
Nursing's Metaparadigm
- The four central concepts of nursing's metaparadigm are person, health, nursing, and environment
- Person is not the same as patient, and health is not the same as wellness
- Nursing and environment are also distinct concepts in the metaparadigm
Levels of Theory
- Grand theory is more abstract and proposes an abstract testable theory, providing a conceptual framework for the discipline
- Middle-range theory is more precise and analyzes a particular situation with a limited number of variables
- Situation-specific theory explores one specific situation found in nursing and is analyzed to acquire knowledge of theoretical adequacy
Purpose of Conceptual Models in Nursing
- Conceptual models in nursing represent a set of related concepts and propositions that provide a framework for guiding nursing practice
Criteria of Analysis in Theory Development
- Clarity speaks to the meaning of terms used and definitional consistency and structure
- Simplicity speaks to the level of abstraction and simplicity in the theory
- Generality speaks to the scope of application and the purpose within the theory
- Empirical precision speaks to the extent to which empirical indication for the concept can be identified
- Parsimony speaks to the importance of the theory in nursing practice
- Logical adequacy speaks to the logical development and type of structure used in the theory
