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.
