Applying Theory to a Practice Problem: Part 2: Application of Middle-Range Theory to Problem

It is important to understand how middle-range theory can help you in your everyday environment as a nurse. In the previous assignment, you identified a practical problem that emerged from the evidence in the extant literature or professional practice. In this assignment, you will explore and apply middle-range theory to solve the specific problem that you identified in the previous assignment.

DIRECTIONS:
Consider the problem that you described in the previous assignment and the instructor feedback about that assignment.
Write a paper (1,000 to 1,500 words) that describes how middle-range theory can be applied to the identified problem. The paper should include the following:
1. A brief summary of the problem.
2. A description of a middle-range theory that could be applied to the problem. Is this middle-range theory appropriate to your identified problem?
3. A brief discussion of the middle-range theory\'s origins.
4. A discussion of how the middle-range theory has been previously applied.
5. A discussion of the application of the middle-range theory to the identified problem. How would your practice change by incorporating this theory?

Assignment 2: Middle Range or Interdisciplinary Theory Evaluation

As addressed this week, middle range theories are frequently used as a framework for exploring nursing practice problems. In addition, theories from other sciences, such as sociology and environmental science, have relevance for nursing practice. For the next few weeks you will explore the use of interdisciplinary theories in nursing.

This Assignment asks you to evaluate two middle range or interdisciplinary theories and apply those theories to a clinical practice problem. You will also create a hypothesis based upon each theory for an evidence-based practice project to resolve a clinical problem.

This section also talks about Theories, Models, and Frameworks from Administration and Management
