Description
Introducing one of the first nursing theory books to explore the movement of nursing theory from the development and analysis stages to the utilization stage. Part 1 of Nursing Theory gives examples of how various theories have been applied to nursing practice, and explains how nursing theories direct critical thinking. Part 2 presents the models of seven major nursing theorists--Johnson, King, Levine, Neuman, Orem, Rogers, and Roy--in separate chapters. These chapters provide a history and background of the models, a guide to critical thinking using each model, an application of each model to two case studies, and critical thinking exercises related to the case studies. In Part 3, the authors suggest the expansion of theory into areas of practice where theory use has not been documented. It also looks ahead to the applications of nursing theory in the future.
