Overview of Contents:
SECTION I Perspectives on Nursing Theory
An introduction to nursing theory includes: definitions of nursing theory, nursing theory and nursing knowledge, types of nursing theory, and nursing’s need for theory. Choosing, analyzing, and evaluating nursing theory focuses on questions from practicing nurses about studying and using nursing theory, a guide for choosing a theory to study, and several frameworks for theory analysis and evaluation. A guide for the study of nursing theory for use in nursing practice is presented, along with questions for selecting theory for use in nursing administration.
SECTION II Evolution of Nursing Theory:Essential Influences
This section opens with a chapter on Florence Nightingale and a description of her profound influence on the discipline and practice of nursing. Subsequent chapters present major nursing theories that have both reflected and influenced nursing practice, education, research, and ongoing theory development in nursing during the last half of the twentieth century
SECTION III Nursing Theory in Nursing Practice, Education, Research, Administration, and Governance
The major nursing theories in use at the end of the twentieth century are presented in this section. Most chapters about particular nursing theories are written by the theorists themselves. Some chapters are written by nurses with advanced knowledge about particular nursing theories; these authors have been acknowledged by specific theorists as experts in presenting their work. Each chapter also includes a section illustrating the use of the theory in nursing practice, research, education, administration, or governance.
SECTION IV Nursing Theory: Illustrating Processes of Development
Two nursing theorists’ unique processes of developing nursing theory are presented in this section. Each theorist has written about research and development of middle-range theory as well as about further exploration of theory in the contexts of programs of research and theory development. The political and economic dimensions of one of the theories in contemporary nursing practice is illustrated.
