This document discusses multiple paradigms in nursing science. It describes the empiricist and interpretive paradigms as the two predominant paradigms, with empiricism based on verification through the senses and interpretivism focusing on human experience and subjectivity. While empiricism emphasizes the scientific method and observation, interpretivism uses qualitative approaches. The document also debates whether nursing science should follow a single paradigm or multiple paradigms, concluding that a multiparadigmatic approach is best as it encourages creativity, debate, and integration of quantitative and qualitative methods to advance the field.
This document outlines key topics related to nursing theory including definitions, historical perspectives, terminology used in theory development, types of nursing theories, a framework for analyzing theories, and the significance of nursing theories. It discusses nursing as both a discipline and a profession. Nursing theories are important as they provide frameworks to structure curriculum and guide nursing practice. Theories also contribute to the development of nursing science and help establish nursing as a true profession. Major nursing theorists like Nightingale, Henderson, Abdellah, and Orem are also briefly discussed.

ENC Msc 5 Unit Research Concept framework.pptxChinna Chadayan
Prof. Dr. Chinna Chadayan.N discusses various conceptual frameworks and theories in nursing. Some key points discussed include:
- The meaning and definitions of theories, concepts, models, and frameworks.
- The three levels of nursing theory: grand, middle-range, and practice-level theories.
- The nursing metaparadigm which includes person, environment, health, and nursing.
- Several influential nursing theorists are discussed such as Nightingale, Peplau, Henderson, Abdellah, Orlando, Watson, Rogers, Orem, King, and their respective theories.
Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory has three related theories: self-care, self-care deficit, and nursing systems. The self-care theory focuses on an individual's ability to care for themselves, while the self-care deficit theory examines when people require nursing assistance. The nursing systems theory describes the relationships needed to provide nursing care. Orem identified universal, developmental, and health deviation self-care requisites and defined a self-care deficit as the inability to meet one's therapeutic self-care demand.

Week 1The Theory Era
The theory era began with a strong emphasis on knowledge development. Although in the previous two decades proponents of nursing theory and nursing theorists had begun to publish their works, it is noteworthy that they denied being theorists when they were introduced as such at the 1978 Nurse Educator Conference in New York with the Nursing Theory theme. There was understanding among those attending the conference that the presenters were theorists, and by the second day, the audience responded to their denials with laughter. This seems strange today, but this was the first time most of the theorists even met each other. Their works had grown out of content organization in nursing education courses, nursing practice administration in large agencies, and structures for the thought and action of practice. It was clear that their works were nursing theoretical structures even before they recognized them as such. The theory era, coupled with the research and graduate education eras, led to understanding of the scientific process beyond production of a scientific product Theory forms the foundation of knowledge. Nursing theories form the foundation of nursing practice, research, and education. Throughout your professional life, you will be applying theory and the knowledge derived from theory in your practice environment regardless of the setting. An understanding of the nature of nursing knowledge from a historical perspective will help you relate better to where nursing theory development is today.
Theory
Theory is defined as "an organized, coherent, and systematic articulation of a set of statements related to significant questions in a discipline that are communicated in a meaningful whole; a symbolic depiction of aspects of reality that are discovered or invented for describing, explaining, predicting, or prescribing responses, events, situations, conditions, or relationships" ( ...

Example of Dorothy Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory )
Nursing Theory
A theory is a collection of statements that explain a relationship between two or more ideas. Theory maintains a central role in the evolution of the nursing discipline. It is something all nurses use in their daily practices, whether known or not. Relatively new, nursing theory is a structure of purposeful and systematic ideas that help to organize disciplinary thinking and influence practice. Much discussion and debate have occurred regarding the various theory definitions. Levine (1995) promoted acceptance of nursing theory, which she called the intellectual life of nursing. She identified that students often fail to embrace nursing theory and do not fully grasp the importance of nursing theory and its relevance for practice and education.
Understanding nursing theory strengthens the focus of care by guiding nursing practice. It may help to think about nursing theories as various lenses used to view different perspectives of known nursing phenomena. For example,
Dorothy Orem’s self-care deficit theory
focuses on assisting others in managing self-care to maintain or improve human function at an effective level (Orem, 1995). Also,
Sister Callista Roy’s adaptation theory
explains how individuals are in constant interaction with a changing environment and that the individual must adapt to change to have a positive response (Creasia & Friberg, 2011).
Example of Dorothy Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory
An elderly man recently received a total hip replacement. During the discharge process, the registered professional nurse educates the patient about many things, including activity restrictions, medications, and wound care. The nurse also reviews activities of daily living, such as showering and toileting. The nurse realizes that the patient’s balance may be altered and discusses fall precautions with the patient. Detailed discharge instructions are an example of moving the patient from a state of dependence on others for care to a state of independence and self-care.
Nursing theory is present in day-to-day interactions with patients. The core values derived from theoretical assumptions can serve as a foundation upon which to build practices. The goal of applying theory is to improve practice.
The nursing profession is an art and science involving a complex mi.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

possible is to embrace
the mystery, the
unknown, of a situation
and allow it to be
beyond reach or
understanding for a
while” (Porter-O’Grady &
Malloch, 2007, p.425).
Philosophy? Nursing Theory?
ARGGHHHH. Right?
3. Nursing as profession & academic
discipline
What differentiates a profession from an occupation?
▪ Defined knowledge base
▪ Power & authority over training & education
▪ Registration
▪ Altruistic service
▪ Code of ethics
▪ Lengthy socialization
▪ Autonomy, and accountable to public
▪
4. Nursing as a profession & academic
discipline
What distinguishes one
academic discipline from
another?
▪ Structure and tradition, ie delineation
▪ Language
▪ Worldview, ie philosophy
▪ Professional disciplines practical; research is prescriptive and
descriptive
▪ Methods of knowledge development
5. Is nursing a science?
Science is logical, systematic, & coherent way to
solve problems and answer questions
Pure or basic (aka ‘bench science)
Natural, human, or social
Applied or practical
6. What are the concerns of Philosophy
Philosophy studies concepts that structure
thought processes, foundations, and
presumptions
Nature of existence
Morality
Knowledge and reason
Human purpose
From what philosophers is nursing generally
drawn?
7. Upon what philosophers is nursing
based?
۩ Descartes & Spinoza (1600’s) …rationalists: ‘reason is superior to
experience as a source for knowledge’ … through deduction and
mathematics
۩ Bacon (1600) …empiricist: experimentation and scientific method
۩ Kant (1700) …knowledge is relative; mind
is active in knowing
8. What is philosophy of science and
predominant schools of thought?
۩ Received View: rationalism … positivism …empiricism: Observation,
testing, verification, explain, predict, mathematical, deduction, parts of the
whole. Logical Positivism dominant philosophy of science until 1950’s
۩ Perceived View: (aka interpretive view) phenomenology, human science,
experience, context, holism, understanding meaning, patterns; feminism,
critical theory (influence of gender, culture, society, & power)
9. How are nursing philosophy, science,
and philosophy of science related?
Nursing philosophy: foundational and universal
assumptions, belief system & principles of the
profession; Epistemology (nature of knowledge);
Ontology (nature of existence)
Nursing science: discipline-specific knowledge of
relationships of human responses in health and
illness
10. How are nursing philosophy, science,
and philosophy of science related?
Philosophy of Science of Nursing establishes
the meaning of science
“Scientific knowledge is transformed into nursing
knowledge though contexts of nursing practice”
(Reed, 2000/2009, p.100)
11. Ways of knowing
Carper’s patterns of
knowing (1978)
– Empirics
– Esthetics
– Personal knowledge
– Ethics
▪Schultz and Meleis (1988):
Clinical, conceptual, empirical
12. Human science knowledge understood
in context
Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911) concepts,
methods, theories fundamentally different
from natural sciences
Interpretation of phenomena
Embrace subjectivity
Understand the nature of experience
Holistic approach
13. Early Views on Nursing Theory
Confusing, of no practical value, ‘too theoretical’
Confusion over terms: conceptual framework,
conceptual model, and theory
Levels, testing, analysis, one theory or many?
“In the early days, theory was expected to be obscure. If
it was clearly understandable, it wasn’t considered a very
good theory” (Levine, 1995, p11).
14. So Why Theory? Why Now?
“In the 20th century the focus of work was on
performing the right processes. In the 21st
century the focus is on obtaining the right
outcomes” (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2007, p. 4).
15. Benefits of theory based practice
Structure & organization
Systematic, purposeful
approach
Focused practice →
coordinated and less
fragmented care,
Goals & outcomes
identifiable and traceable.
16. Define and Differentiate
Conceptual models or
conceptual frameworks
Propositions
Theory
Assumptions
Purpose
Indications for use
17. Stages of Nursing Theory
Development
Silent Knowledge
Received Knowledge
Subjective Knowledge
Procedural Knowledge
Constructed Knowledge
(Note: From Kidd & Morrison, 1988 who adapted language from seminal
work of Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule’s Women’s Ways of
Knowing from the early 80’s. The 80’s were an active period of women’s
studies and research about differences between men and women’s ways
of being in the world)
18. Scope* of Nursing Metatheory
Most abstract
Philosophical world
views
Philosophy of nursing
Critical theory
Feminist theory
*Refers to complexity and degree of abstraction
19. Scope* of Nursing Grand Theories
Complex and broad, as
well as abstract
Non specific
Not immediately applicable
or testable without further
definitions
Eg. Orem, Roy, Rogers
20. Scope* of Middle Range Nursing
Theories
Middle Range theories
Less abstract
Focus on a particular
phenomenon
Eg social support, quality of
life, hope, anxiety; death and
dying
21. Scope* of Practice Nursing Theories
Specific directions for practice
Specific phenomenon with
specific population or field of
practice
Eg theory of departure in
college students;
Eg Death and Bereavement
in Teens
Fewest concepts
Prescribe or guide practice
22. Factor-isolating theories
Descriptive, names concepts and dimensions
Tested by descriptive research
Describes ‘what is’
May include models that illustrate an
experience, culture, or process
23. Factor-relating theories
Attempts to explain how or why concepts
related
Eg smoking and fetal size
Helping and lifespan in a nursing home
Statistical correlation research
25. Situation-relating theories
Predictive of future outcomes. If this, then
that…
Eg smoking and fetal size
Helping and lifespan in a nursing home
Cause and effect, empirical testing
26. Situation-producing theories
Prescriptive for future outcomes and defined goals.
Smoking cessation and improved birth weight
Cocaine abuse and fetal addiction
Prescribe directed interventions and
consequences of interventions
Propositions call for change among specific
patient groups and conditions
27. Nursing’s Metaparadigm
Paradigm: “A boundary structure which consists of items
or phenomena for investigation for a given disciplinary
perspective” (Kim, 2009/1989, p.43).
A Metaparadigm is a “gestalt or total world view within a
discipline … the broadest consensus within the discipline …of
the general parameters” (Hardy, 2009/1978, (cited in Reed & Shearer, p.531)
What are the main concepts in Nursing's metaparadigm?

on nursing; functional nursing; Abdellah, Orlando, Henderson
reflections on experience
Procedural Knowledge
…(separate; connected) focus on separate eg. theory development
approaches, methodology, statistical analysis; less on application
