Theories guiding nursing research and practice : making nursing knowledge development explicit

Fitzpatrick, Joyce J., 1944- (editor.). McCarthy, Geraldine, 1950- (editor.).

Summary: This is the first book to clearly and fully demonstrate the process of using theory to guide nursing research and professional practice. It describes a step-by-step format for evaluating nursing theory's applicability to research, a format that links theory (both middle-range and grand theory) to research on a wide range of clinical populations and care delivery systems. The book describes how theory analysis models are used to examine various nursing phenomena as they relate to nursing research and professional practice, and provides key examples of how this is accomplished.
