Nursing theory Introduction: Introduction of nursing theory and its important. Explain (write this in the third person, define key terms and introduce what your essay is about) Content: Review 2 nursing theories, 1 must be traditional and the other one can be contemporary nursing theory. Or can be both traditional nursing theory. For traditional, must includes the 4 meta-paradigms of nursing theory. After that, must include the critiques for both of the theories at the end of the of it. Then have to apply one of the theory into the case study. Case study is based on your experience in clinical as a nurse. (I’ll give you and example) Conclusion: summarize the important points
To do this you need to examine models and theories of nursing. Within the course content we will look at a broad range of these as well as newer forms, such as decision algorithms and care pathways. For the first part of this assignment you will be asked to look at 2 theories, and using an evidence-base, draw out the strengths and weaknesses of each. While some of what you present needs to be descriptive, it is important to demonstrate critical thinking and skills of analysis.
In addition you will be asked to apply one model or theory to your own area of practice using a case study approach. In order that the reader can understand the background to the case study it may be useful to write this briefly within an appendix. Again by using an evidence-base (some of which you will have found in the first part of the essay), apply a rationale for choosing this model to your own area of practice. As well as evidence-based material, you can use your own reflective account of why you think/feel that this model would be most appropriate. It is important that within your essay you make it transparent what is your own opinion and what is coming from the literature evidence.
Learning outcomes 1-4 are assessed via the academic essay. This should focus on the application of a model and/or theory to your own area of practice, and you should critically reflect upon the care management provided. Learning outcome 5 is linked to your on-line activities and discussions in moodle.
