Nursing theory concept analysis

NR501 CONCEPT ANALYSIS GUIDELINES AND SCORING RUBRIC NR501 Concept Analysis Guidelines and Rubric PURPOSE This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to complete a concept analysis of a concept found in a nursing theory using an identified process. The assignment fosters analytical thinking related to the selected concept as well as application within the profession. COURSE OUTCOMES Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to: • • • (CO#1) Analyze theories from nursing and relevant fields with respect to their components, relationships among the components, logic of the propositions, comprehensiveness, and utility to advanced nursing. (PO1) (CO#3) Communicate the analysis of and proposed strategies for the use of a theory in nursing practice. (PO3, 7, 10) (CO#4) Demonstrate logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of a theory to nursing practice. (PO4. 7) DUE DATE Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week 4 Total Points Possible: 250 Points REQUIREMENTS Description of the Assignment This assignment presents a modified method for conducting a concept analysis of ONE concept found in a nursing theory. The source of the concept for this assignment must be a published nursing theory. The selected concept is identified and then the elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge for application within the model and alternative cases. Non-nursing theories may NOT be used. The paper concludes with a synthesis of the student’s new knowledge about the concept. The scholarly literature is incorporated throughout the analysis. Only the elements identified in this assignment should be used for this concept analysis. Criteria for Content 1. Introduction The introduction substantively presents all following 4 (four) elements: • • • • Identifies the role of concept analysis within theory development, Identifies the selected nursing concept, Identifies the nursing theory from which the selected concept was obtained, and Names the sections of the paper. 2. Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing concept This section includes: NR501 Concept Analysis Guidelines.docx Revised 08/2017 JCJ 1 NR501 CONCEPT ANALYSIS GUIDELINES AND SCORING RUBRIC • • Defines/explains the concept using scholarly literature (a dictionary maybe used for this section ONLY, and additional scholarly nursing references are required), and Information about the concept as discussed by the theorist from the selected nursing theory is substantively presented. A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required. 3. Literature review This section requires: • • A substantive discussion of at least 6 (six) scholarly nursing literature sources on the selected concept. Themes, ideas, and/or facts about the concept found in the reviewed sources are presented in an organized fashion. Support from nursing literature is required. Please Note: Primary research articles about the selected nursing concept are the most useful resource for the literature review. 4. Defining attributes For this section: • A minimum of THREE (3) attributes are required. A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation: An attribute identifies characteristics of a concept. For this situation, the characteristics of the selected nursing concept are identified and discussed. 5. Antecedent and Consequence This section requires the identification of: • 1 antecedent of the selected nursing concept, and • 1 consequence of the selected nursing concept. A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation: An antecedent is an identifiable occurrence that precedes an event. In this situation, an antecedent precedes a selected nursing concept. A consequence follows or is the result of an event. In this situation a consequence follows or is the result of the selected nursing concept. 6. Empirical Referents This section requires the identification of: • 2 (two) empirical referents of the selected nursing concept. A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required. NR501 Concept Analysis Guidelines.docx Revised 08/2017 JCJ 2 NR501 CONCEPT ANALYSIS GUIDELINES AND SCORING RUBRIC Explanation: An empirical referent is an objective ways to measure or determine the presence of the selected nursing concept. 7. Model Cases 1 model case is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating within the case each of the following areas: • • • • • Definition, All identified attributes, Antecedent, Consequence, and Empirical referent or Measurement Information from selected nursing theory is applied to the created model case. A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation: A model case is an example of the hypothetical individual who demonstrates all of the attributes, antecedents, consequences, and referents noted previously in this assignment. 8. Alternative Cases This section requires: • • • The identification of 2 (two) alternative cases correctly created and presented. The two required alternative cases are: Borderline (absence of one or two of previously identified attributes of the selected nursing concept. Contrary (demonstrates the complete opposite of selected nursing concept) Applies information from selected nursing theory. Explanation: Alternative cases represent the opposite of the model case.

For this assignment, two alternative cases are required. These are: • • Borderline case which is a created case where one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing. Contrary case which is a created case that demonstrate the complete opposite of the selected nursing concept. 9. Conclusion This section requires: • Summarization of key information regarding: o Selected nursing concept, o Selected nursing theory, and o Application of concept analysis findings to advanced nursing practice.
