Theoretical Framework Nursing theory attempts to explain a phenomenon of interest using concepts and propositions (Moran et al., 2002). A theoretical framework gives logical meaning and strength to study implementation and findings. An appropriate and applicable theoretical framework also assists in developing interventions in research studies, and selecting which variables are observed in non-research studies (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019). In the context of a transition to a practice program, theoretical frameworks “create a foundation for program and curricular development as well as outcome measures” (Dickerson, 2017, p. 295). This paper will discuss the theoretical framework chosen to guide the development of the Advanced Practice Provider Transition to Practice Project, how the theory fits with the project, and how the theory’s application can be evaluated in relation to the project. Theory Overview Patricia Benner adapted Stuart and Herbert Dreyfus’ skills acquisition model to nursing practice with her Novice to Expert framework in 1984 (Dickerson, 2017 p. 295). Benner’s framework consists of five levels of experience for the …show more content…
295). When this occurs, a previously experienced or even expert nurse digresses to a novice level again in their new role or environment. This is where the utility lies in the application of Benner’s framework to an APP TTP program. Despite the Sanford Model having not been validated yet, being based on Benner’s framework, encompassing all APPs, being linked to the organizational mission and core values, and having a specific clinical pathway with measurable objectives for evaluation all make this model theoretically very applicable and add rigor to the model’s expected performance in real
The vision, mission and philosophy of any nursing student who wants to succeed in professional career depend on a number of factors. It is essential for a would be nurse to have a good recognition of the need for on-going education. According to Patricia Benner, a nursing theorist, academic and writer of many nursing textbooks, nurses should be focused on development of the proper skills and deep understanding of patient care over a long period of time not only through a reliable educational base
Introduction Advanced Practice nursing (APN) is considered the usage of a broader scope of constructive, logical and research-based expertise related to the health and well-being of patients, within a varying disciplines (DeNisco & Barker, 2013). What is the future position of APNs in the progression of our healthcare system? What role will this writer assume, educator, practitioner, population health coach, or all three? The use of theory, primarily Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model, and
Theoretical Framework Kurt Lewin was considered the father of social psychology that developed the change theory of nursing. The change theory model is beneficial for understanding when change needs to be made and prior learning to be rejected and replaced. Educating healthcare professionals with new information will help patient heath outcomes (Petiprin, 2015). (Appendix B) Overview of the Change Theory Model The three stages of the change theory model are unfreezing, change and refreezing (Petiprin
their families and ourselves.” The field of nursing applies holistic care of all patients. From healing hands to caring hearts, nurses are the first person patients see when they wake up in the morning and the last before bed. With that being said, the biggest debate for over a century amongst the medical community is whether nursing is a profession. To shine some light over this topic, Pavalko’s eight dimensions will be applied to define nursing as a profession. Social Values (A profession
Applied Theory: Imogene King and Laurence Kohlberg Theory development and research have provided a framework and body of knowledge for nursing to maintain autonomy and improve quality of care. As early as the 1800s, nursing and non-nursing theorists had developed theories and models which are continually applied to nursing practice (KEEP OR GET RID OF?). Nursing theorist Imogene King developed the theory of goal attainment which focused on interacting systems that affected a person’s ability to attain

Literature for this concept analysis was accessed from the TSU online library using CINAHL database, our textbook and literature found on the internet. The Walker and Avant’s (1995) concept analysis method was used to guide this concept analysis. Findings. Pain has many different meanings to many people. What is important to know as a nurse or health care provider is that pain is what the patient
