This user-friendly text stresses how theory informs practice and research of nursing education unfolds in a professional environment. Divided into four sections, content sets the stage for understanding middle range theory by elaborating on disciplinary perspectives, an organizing framework, and evaluation of the theory. Middle Range Theory for Nursing, Fourth Edition, presents a broad spectrum of 13 middle range theories and advanced nursing practices. Each theory is broken down into its purpose, development, and conceptual underpinnings, and includes models demonstrating the relationships among the concepts. This nursing books ability to break down complex ideas is part of what made this book a three-time recipient of the AJN Book of the Year award, and among the most powerful nurse educator tools. It also helps nurse educators demonstrate concept building for research through the lens of middle range theory, a rigorous 10-phase process that moves from a practice story to a conceptual foundation, and exemplars that clarify the concept building process. In short, this new edition keeps all the components that made prior versions so useful in nurse education and expands the content to make it better.
New medical theory overtakes the old quickly, which is why this newly updated Fourth Edition includes:
- Reflects new theoretical advances with associated models to improve understanding
- Five completely new chapters of content essential for nursing books
- New exemplars linking middle range theory to advanced nursing practice
- New content for DNP programs
- Two new theories: Bureaucratic Caring and Self-Care of Chronic Illness
- Two articles from Advances in Nursing Science documenting a meta-perspective about middle range theory development over the decades
Some of the key features in this award-winning nurse book series include:
- Provides a strong contextual foundation for understanding middle range theory
- Introduces the Ladder of Abstraction to clarify the “range” of nursing’s theoretical foundation
- Presents 13 middle range theories with philosophical, conceptual, and empirical dimensions of each theory
- Examines research application through exemplars demonstrating the use of middle range theory for advanced practice nursing
- Includes Appendix summarizing middle range theories from 1988 to 2017
- Excellent for doctorate and nursing programs alike
Praise for the third edition:
“This is an outstanding edition of this book. It has great relevance for learning about, developing, and using middle range theories. It is very user friendly, yet scholarly."
