CHAPTER CONCEPTUAL FRAME WORK

Theory is a set of related statements that describes or explains phenomena in a systematic way

DEFINITION

A theory is a set of interrelated concepts adopted for a scientific purpose, definitions and propositions that present a significant view of explaining and predicting the phenomenon

-Kellinger, 1986

NURSING THEORY

Nursing theory is an organized

frame work of concepts and purposes

designed to guide the practice

- Jean and Watson ,

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Theoretical framework is a frame

of reference that is a base for

observations, definitions of concepts,

research designs, interpretations and

generalizations such as the frame rest

on a foundations

IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGIES

Theory :

Theory is defined as an internally consistent

group of relational statements, concepts,

definitions and prepositions that present a

systematic view about a phenomenon

Continued……..

ConceptsConcepts are building blocks of a theory that abstractly describe an object or phenomena. Eg: Health, Anxiety

Constructs Constructs are abstractions that are deliberately and systemically invented.

Continued……..

Propositions Propositions are statements that elucidate the relationship between the concepts

Models Models are the symbolic representation of a conceptualization

PURPOSES OF THEORY IN RESEARCH

To compile observations and facts

To identify relevant area for research

To guide researcher about the natural

phenomenon

To predict the occurrence of phenomenon

Continued……..

PURPOSES OF THEORY IN RESEARCH

To develop clinical practice protocol

To help extension of knowledge

To define concepts

CLASSIFICATION OF NURSING THEORIES

BASED ON FUNCTION

Descriptive theory

Explanatory theory

Predictive theory

Prescriptive theory

Continued……..

FRAMEWORK

A theoretical frame work for a

particular research study is made

up of the concepts and the

relational statements between the

concepts to be examined o tested

CONCEPTUAL FRAME WORK/MODEL

According to Fawgett (2000) “ a

conceptual model gives direction to the

research for relevant questions about

the phenomenon and suggests solutions

to practical examples

CONCEPTUAL MODELS IN NURSING RESEARCH

According to Fawgett (2005) the central four concepts in nursing are

Steps in development of conceptual or theoretical frame

Defining the concept

Predict the relationship among the

variables

Concept mapping

Testing the relationship of variables

Evaluating the result
