    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Philosophy of Science
    • Praxiology

    Background:

    • Current theoretical work in nursing often lacks identifiable major threads.
    • Grand nursing theories and conceptual frameworks require further specification to be considered true theories.
    • There is a need for a global approach to evaluate theoretical thinking in nursing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a framework for evaluating theoretical thinking in nursing.
    • To identify pathways for developing nursing theories and conceptual frameworks.
    • To stimulate debate on the role and development of prescriptive theories in nursing science and practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of the current status of theoretical work in nursing.
    • Examination of criteria for developing nursing theories and paradigms.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of the implications of prescriptive theories for nursing science and practice.

    • Main Results:

    • Major theoretical threads in nursing are often difficult to identify.
    • Nursing frameworks can be developed into paradigms or bona-fide theories.
    • Integrative nursing theories can be formulated by combining work from similar traditions.
    • The role and impact of prescriptive theories in nursing require more rigorous debate.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing theories need clearer articulation of assumptions and development strategies.
    • Collaboration among scholars is essential for creating integrative nursing theories.
    • Critical discussion on prescriptive theories is necessary for advancing nursing science and practice.
