    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Theory Development
    • Health Sciences

    Background:

    • Planned change theories are crucial for advancing nursing practice and healthcare innovation.
    • Evaluating the suitability of these theories for nursing contexts is essential but often lacks standardized methods.
    • Existing evaluation approaches may not fully capture the specific needs and perspectives of the nursing profession.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a criterion-referenced instrument for evaluating planned change theories.
    • To assess the suitability of planned change theories for nursing situations based on predefined criteria.
    • To provide a quantitative tool that complements qualitative assessments and theorists' self-evaluations.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a criterion-referenced instrument with 31 evaluation questions.
    • The instrument assesses theories against criteria: significance, nursing perspective agreement, clarity, consistency, economy, generality, practicality, and testability.
    • The instrument is designed for quantitative application, with ongoing psychometric evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • A 31-item quantitative instrument was created to evaluate planned change theories.
    • The instrument focuses on criteria critical for nursing theory application.
    • The tool is designed to integrate with qualitative methods and self-reported theory assessments.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed instrument offers a systematic, quantitative approach to evaluating planned change theories for nursing.
    • This tool enhances the selection and application of appropriate theories in nursing practice and research.
    • Further psychometric evaluation is underway to validate the instrument's reliability and efficacy.
