Nursing Theory Analysis Paper Guidelines

This assignment’s goal is to describe, evaluate, and discuss the application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment also allows the learner to connect theory and research to nursing phenomena. Students will write an 8-10 page paper (excluding the title page and references) in APA format that addresses the elements listed below.

Theory Explanation
, andconcertly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. Provide evidence to back up your claim.
Describe the theory’s main concepts. What are their definitions? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author’s use of concepts and other terms in the theory consistent?
Consider how the concepts are defined. Whether implicitly or explicitly?
Examine the connections (propositions) between the major concepts.
Evaluation
Identify the theory’s explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs). What assumptions does the theory rest on?
Check to see if the theory includes a description of the four nursing metaparadigm concepts. If so, how do they fit into the theory? What elements do you see as relevant to the theory if the metaparadigm is not explained?
Discuss the theory’s clarity. Did it have clarity and consistency?
Application
Consider how the theory might guide nursing actions.
Describe how you will apply this theory in your nursing practice, education, informatics, or administration.
