Week 4 Project
Your “Application of Theoretical Concepts to Research” Paper is due this week. Your paper should contain the following sections:
Background: contains two subsections, which includes a brief descriiption of the theorist and the phenomenon of concern in the theory.
Theory Descriiption: a descriiption of each of the concepts in the theory, a diagram of the theory, and a descriiption of how the concepts are related.
An Evaluation of the Theory: a descriiption of the theory’s weaknesses and how the metaparadigms are described in the theory.
Application of the Theory:
Describe two studies that used the theory as a framework for their study, including a descriiption of how they operationalized the concepts.
How could you use the theory to research a phenomenon in your area of clinical practice? How would you operationalize the concepts?
You MUST use the attached template here to complete your paper.
The paper is to be thoroughly researched and well documented, with relevant material from the nursing theorists presented incorporated into the paper. Use the current edition of the APA Manual throughout the paper. Sources should focus on references from nursing theory but may also include conceptual and theoretical material from other professional domains. The paper, excluding references or appendices, is to be limited to 3-5 pages. Writing should be succinct and well organized, as it is impossible for the facilitator to evaluate form and content separately.
My clinical practice is dialysis for it when I ask how I can use theory to research a phenomenon in my clinical practice how could I operationalize the concepts?
I have attached the template that must be used to write the paper. I can also give you access to my books from my class if needed.
The Theorist we could use is Katherine Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory or Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model either one is mine is that you decide which one you think will work best.
