NURSING THEORY & ADVANCED PRACTICE CASE STUDIES

NURSING THEORY & ADVANCED PRACTICE CASE STUDIES APPLICATION OF NURSING THEORIES (15 %) Guidelines: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the application of a nursing theory to practice, communicate the analysis of and proposed strategies for the use of a theory in nursing practice, and demonstrates logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of a theory to nursing practice. Review the clinical case and apply your chosen theory to the case. The final paper is to be typed in APA format and no more than 5 pages. The paper should include a title page and reference list; however, these pages are not to be included in the final count. Guide with the Questions and Process for Determining Application to Practice (Table 18-1) (Located in McEwin & Wills (4th ed.), (pg.413). – Are theory goals and practice goals congruent? o Examine the goal of the theory and compare it with the outcomes or goals of nursing practice (standards of practice, personal views of nursing). – Is the context of the theory congruent with the practice situation? Examine the theory to determine the context for application and compare it with the context of the situation at hand. – Is there a similarity between theory variables and practice variables? Compare the theoretic variables (concepts) and the variables recognized to directly influence the practice situation to determine whether all essential concepts are addressed in the theory. – Are explanations of the theory sufficient to be used as a basis for nursing action? o Use expert judgment about nursing actions that are implied or explicit within the theory to determine sufficiency; examine the correlation between theoretical and practice variables. – Does research evidence support the theory? Conduct a review of the literature for research support of the theory; critically examine study findings for validity and applicability to practice. – How can the theory influence nursing practice and the nursing unit? Consider ways in which an approach will affect nursing practice and a nursing unit; plan changes including observation and recording of factors relevant to the theory’s application. Content – The introduction to the paper includes a few general statements on the idea of the nursing theory being applied to solve problems/issues in nursing practice, regardless of the specialty area of practice. – The selected nursing theory can be a grand theory, a middle-range theory, or a practice theory. – Description of the problem/issue for which strategies will be developed. – The problem to be resolved can be in nursing leadership, nursing education, nursing informatics, or health policy. Scholarly evidence supporting the issue is included. select orems self care deficit theory
