Nursing informatics research needs stronger theoretical foundations. This paper reviews existing models and proposes a new overarching framework to guide future nursing informatics studies.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing informatics
  • Health sciences research
  • Information science

Background:

  • Nursing informatics is an emerging field with a history of problem-driven, rather than model-driven, research.
  • The specialty currently lacks a robust theoretical base, hindering scientific development.
  • Existing theoretical models are infrequently applied to research studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate existing theoretical models used in nursing informatics research.
  • To propose a comprehensive organizing model to serve as a framework for future research in the field.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of nursing informatics models.
  • Critical analysis and evaluation of identified models.
  • Development and proposal of an overarching organizing model.

Main Results:

  • Identification and assessment of several theoretical models within nursing informatics literature.
  • The proposed model offers a unified structure for guiding research.
  • Highlights the need for a more cohesive theoretical approach in the discipline.

Conclusions:

  • A unified theoretical framework is essential for advancing nursing informatics as a scientific discipline.
  • The proposed organizing model can provide a foundation for future research endeavors.
  • Emphasizes the transition from problem-driven to model-driven research in nursing informatics.
