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
1. Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to
your practice setting.
2. Describe the theorist's background in detail and discuss how
their experiences have impacted the theory development.
3. Examine crucial references for the original and/or current
work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected
theory.
4. Identify the phenomenonof concernor problems addressed by
the theory.
Theory Description
1. Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or
retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your
conclusion.
2. Describe the major concepts of the theory. How are they
defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author
consistentin the use of the concepts and other terms in the
theory?
3. Interpret how the concepts are defined. Implicitly or
explicitly?
4. Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major
concepts.
Evaluation
1. Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs)
underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory

3. build?
2. 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?
3. Discuss the clarity of the theory. Did it have lucidness and
consistency?
Application
1. Examine how the theory would guide nursing actions.
2. Describe specificallyhow you can use this theory in your area
of nursing (Practice, Education, Informatics or Administration).
