Study Notes
Theory
- A comprehensive explanation of data confirmed through observation and experimentation, gaining general acceptance but not definitively proven.
- Organizes phenomena and provides principles for understanding complex issues.
- Includes examples such as the causes of cancer and Hildegard Peplau's Theory of Interpersonal Relations with three phases: orientation, working, and termination.
Concept
- A mental or general idea formed in the mind, serving as a unit of thought.
- Example: Choosing a theme like "flower garden" when redecorating a bedroom.
Principle
- A basic generalization accepted as true, guiding reasoning or conduct.
- Quotes exemplify principles, e.g., "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle." —Plato.
Conceptual Framework / Model
- Represents knowledge based on understanding of a specific topic or theory.
- Comprises concepts that describe ideas about individuals and situations relevant to disciplines like Nursing.
Nursing Theory
- Nursing theories are creative works by nurses aiming to explain various nursing facets.
- They incorporate physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual concepts related to health and wellness.
Definition
- Definitions within a theory explain the overall meaning of concepts, guiding the measurement of constructs and relationships.
- Example: Neuman’s model describes how patient systems handle environmental stressors.
Assumption
- Assumptions are fundamental statements indicating the nature of concepts within a theory.
- Example: Neuman’s systems model assumes patients are dynamic and that stressors can attack defense mechanisms.
Phenomenon
- A phenomenon is a term, description, or label for experiences regarding events or situations in nursing care.
- Key ideas: caring, self-care, and client responses to stress are central to nursing theories.
Stages in the Development of Nursing Theory
- Procedural Knowledge: Emphasizes the methodology for knowledge acquisition, often downplaying application in practice.
- Constructed Knowledge: Integrates various knowledge sources, leading to theory informed by clinical experiences.
- Integrated Knowledge: Uses evidence from nursing and healthcare literature to create situation-specific and middle-range theories.

- 1924: Yale University establishes the first collegiate school of nursing.
- 1952: Peplau publishes "Interpersonal Relations in Nursing."
