In our field of nursing there is only selected few theories used for our studies repeatedly. It is mandatory to choose any nursing theory for our UG , PG , Ph.D ! There is evaluation for that - mostly they will try to fit in few components and they describe in operationally. Ph.D candidates will try from other discipline too.
Almost 18 or above theories only using from other countries philosophers.
Any of from science discipline developed new theories ? .
Please share your theory to us.
There are many nursing theories at multiple levels of abstraction (grand theories, middle-range, and situation-specific) and excellent textbooks by A. Meleis and J. Morse (the latter with more qualitative focus).
See the nursology.net website to connect with nursing theorists. I am presenting at Nursing Theory conference next week at Case Western, OH, US.
I am a PhD student and believe that a strong conceptual, theoretical, and philosophical foundation is critical for a successful dissertation!
Dear Dorothy Kent , thanks for your nice contribution to add new things. Really it is valuable information of nursology net . We have theorist textbooks for reference source. In Indian nursing researchers they are using /guiding only selected theories. I am trying to use and test new theories. I always liked to read new theories and testing the theories with new studies or concept. Best wishes for your conference presentation .
