CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Conceptual Theories

context or

or Models or Frame works or Schemes or Maps

THEORY Theory is an imaginative grouping of knowledge, ideas and experience that are represented symbolically and seek to illuminate a given phenomenon. (Watson, 1985)

Theory is a logically interconnected set of confirmed hypothesis. (Mc Kay, 1969)

Theories Not discovered Created & invented Theory construction - creative and intellectual enterprise (Realities) Theories can never be proven or confirmed (New evidence / observation disprove or discredit a theory)

PURPOSES
Knit

observations & facts into an orderly system Make scientific finding meaningful and generalizable. Drawing and summarizing accumulated facts from separate investigations Provides directions and impetus

FUNCTIONS
Descriptions
Explanations Predictions Control

NURSING THEORIES
Knowledge
Practice

building Nursing as a Profession

based on sound reliable knowledge

Predicts

patients response to Nursing care Clinical decision making

NATURE OF THEORIES
Concepts Basic Ingredients / Building bocks of theory (Eg., Health, Interactions & Adaptation) Conceptual models- Spring boards of research hypothesis

DEVELOPING CONCEPTUAL FRAME WORK


Appropriate research questions Methods and strategies Consistent with existing body of research evidence Conceptual rationale

IILUSTRATION
Classical Learning Theory (Theory of Reinforcement) Reinforced behavior Tend to be repeated Learned (Concept Reinforcement and Learning) (Relationship between concepts)- Hyperactive children PraisesLess Acting out behavior

Illustration Contd..
A Nurse led smoking cessation intervention would reduce rates of smoking among patients with CVDS Prediction

Theoretical rationale
( Behavior change, knowledge , attitude and motivation )

Illustration Contd..
Gender difference in coping with loss of a child

Prediction
Biological gender difference, Role difference, Social experience difference

CHARACTERISTICS OF THEORY
1.Interrelated concepts 2.Logical 3.Relatively simple yet generalizable 4.Bases for hypothesis (Tested or expanded ) Eg. Quantitative / Qualitative) 5.Increase the general body of knowledge 6.Guides and improves practice 7.Leaves open unanswered questions that need to be investigated

STEPS IN THEORY DEVELOPMENT


Criticism

& fault finding Statement of the Problem Concept identification Proposition or principle formation Theory construction Validation of Theory Testing theory

CONSTRUCTION OF THEORY
1.Situation Producing Theory 2.Situation relating Theory 3.Factor relating Theory 4.Factor isolating theory

CLASSIFICATION OF THEORIES
1.Broad range Theories / Grand theories Large segments of human experience- Theories on nursing process 2.Middle range theories- Narrow range of experience Decision making, Stress, Self care, Health promotion, Infant attachment

SELECTION OF THEORY IN RESEARCH


1.Statement of the purpose of the study
2.The Purpose as a declarative statement 3.Purpose as a question 4.Purpose as a hypothesis

THEORY TESTING
Descriptive

Theories ( Qualitative studies ) ( Describe/ classify specific dimensions, characteristics of individuals, groups, situations or events by summarizing observations )

Explanatory Theories

Theory of planned behavior Peoples intention to perform or not perform a behavior


(Attitude

towards behavior Subjective norms Perceived behavior control)

Hypothesis Generation Compliance with a medical regimen, Health decision making behavior, ( Contraceptive choice, Condom use, Preventive health screening )
