phenomenon | aspect of reality that people consciously sense or experience |
concepts | ideas and mental images |
definitions within theory | communicate the general meaning of the concepts |
assumptions | "taken for granted" statements that explain the nature of the concepts, definitions, purpose relationships & structure of a theory |
grand theory | broad in scope-abstract ideas |
middle-range theories | limited in scope, address specific phenomenom |
descriptive theories | first level of theory development; describe phenomena-explain client assessments |
prescriptive theories | address nursing interventions & predict consequences-action oriented |
theory generates nursing knowledge | for use in practice |
Is nursing process a theory? | no-provides a systematic process for delivery of nursing care |
systems - open & closed | open-human organism - closed - test tube |
nursing process-goal | organize & deliver an individualized approach to nursing care |
components of nursing process (4) | input, output, feedback and content |

output | end product of system-health status improves/stabilizes |
feedback | inform system how it functions |
content | product obtained from system. Ex. - prevent bedsores-turn patient |

Evidence-based practice | problem-solving approach to clinical practice integrates: 1. best evidence 2. client values 3. clinician's expertise |
steps (5) | 1. ask clinical question 2. collect relevant and best evidence 3. critically appraise evidence 4. integrate with clinical expertise & client's needs 5. evaluate the practice decision |
PICO | P-Patient population; I - Intervention; C Comparison Ex. current standard of care vs. usual; O - outcome-what result? |
knowledge gaps - many kinds (5) | PICO questions help when seeking - diagnosis; prognosis (likely outcome) - therapy - prevention - education |
collect best evidence | |
medicine, physicians treat disease while | nursing is diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems |
Evidence-based practice (EVB) | problem-solving approach to nursing clinical practice-uses best evidence plus expertise |
Evidence based practice - five steps | 1. Ask clinical questions 2. collect best evidence 3. critically appraise evidence 4. integrate with clinical expertise, clients, values 5. evaluate |
PICO | P - patient population I - intervention C - comparison of interest O - outcome |
bias | study did not use randomized subjects; proper control factors |
qualitative research | phenomena - difficult to quantify or categorzie |
abstract | brief summary of the article |
introduction | purpose of article; why author thought important |
literature review/background | gives present research; why article is new |
hypotheses | prediction of outcome |
integrate evidence | use best practices |
nursing research- example | study of tube feeding practices to prevent aspiration - saves lives |
quantatative research | nursing phenomena that can be measured precisely Ex. body temperature |
qualatative research | phenomena that are difficult to quantify or categorize |
inductive reasoning | develop generalizations or theories from specific observations or interviews |
