Purpose:
To construct a middle-range theory, based on the Roy adaptation model, for nurses can diagnose an ineffective infant feeding pattern.
Data Source:
Scientific findings were used through a literature review and the concepts of the Roy model.
Data Synthesis:
The theory indicated new elements for the diagnosis: 12 etiological factors and 13 clinical indicators. Most of those are not contained in the NANDA taxonomy.
Conclusion:
The middle-range theory for these diagnoses highlights the need for a review of the components present in the taxonomy.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
This approach guides research on nursing diagnoses to revise the content of the theory and to expand its concepts and elements for the diagnosis of an ineffective infant feeding pattern.
