Fundamentals of Nursing Models, Theories and Practice
THIRD EDITION

Introduces different nursing theories and their relevance to everyday nursing practice

Nursing theory and nursing models are key elements of any modern nursing course. Understanding both the conceptual and practical aspects of nursing is vital to assessing, planning, and implementing consistent and seamless patient care.

Fundamentals of Nursing Models, Theories and Practice is a concise, easily accessible introduction to the development, application, and evaluation of various nursing theories. This highly anticipated new edition guides readers through each step of a theory-generating journey, from identifying phenomena in clinical practice, to forming concepts and propositions, to constructing a new theory. Incorporating the most recent research and up-to-date references throughout, the third edition covers a broader range of nursing theories to guide and improve patient care.

• Examines the relationship between nursing theory, clinical practice, and nursing roles
• Discusses 12 different criteria that readers can use to select the appropriate theory
• Outlines the different ways that nurses learn and impart knowledge
• Describes various methodological approaches used by researchers to generate or test nursing theory
• Demonstrates how the validity of a theory is determined through rigorous and systematic analysis and evaluation

Fundamentals of Nursing Models, Theories and Practice is a must-have book for all pre-registration nursing students and newly qualified nurses.
