evaluating hypotheses that fall somewhere in the center is an essential component. The
middle-range nursing theory attempts to bridge the gap between academic research and
clinical application (Butcher, 2021). Compared to other kinds of theories, such as the grand
nursing theories, middle-range approaches are simpler to execute, have a greater degree of
specificity, and are characterized by a precise and constrained dimension. Theories that fall
within the middle range are subjected to external and internal examination to determine
their usefulness (Astley, 2019).The connection of an idea and its relationship or union to
well-being, persons, or nursing may be seen via the lens of external criticism directed at a
theory. Internal critique of middle-range theories involves examining the inside
arrangement of how the theory maintains unity amongst its many parts. The assessment
process should consider internal and external criticism, even though the two types are
distinct. The parameters for determining how well each theory holds up against internal
and external scrutiny are different (Risjord, 2018). When conducting an internal critique,
evaluating a method includes reviewing the approach’s logical development, consistency,
clarity, and suitability (Risjord, 2018). On the other hand, the grounds for external critique
include the approach’s usefulness, complexity, actuality, and breadth.Internal critique
assesses the middle range theory’s clarity as a first step. One example is checking if the
evaluated method incorporates a theory’s core components (Risjord, 2018). Before putting
the strategy into action, it is assessed to ensure that it has been fully grasped. Then, the
theory’s consistency is used to provide concise explanations of the fundamental ideas, while
the theory’s adequacy guarantees that there are no unaccounted-for holes in the logic
(Risjord, 2018). After confirming the identity of all parties involved, the logical progression
of the argument is taken into account to confirm its conclusion.Risjord (2018) suggests that
while evaluating a middle-range theory based on external critique, it is necessary first to
identify how difficult it will be for readers to grasp the method before swiftly putting it into
practice. The approach’s worth may be gauged based on how well it serves the nursing
profession’s immediate needs. Another criterion used to ensure that a specific set of
concepts is being used in a restricted context in nursing practice is the study’s scope
(Risjord, 2018). Theorists make numerous assumptions; thus, it is essential to evaluate how
well these predictions hold up to the scrutiny of the nursing practice
community.ReferencesAstley, W. G. (2019). Administrative science as socially constructed
