MIDDLE-RANGE THEORIES AND NURSING PRACTICE ISSUES

 MIDDLE-RANGE THEORIES AND NURSING PRACTICE ISSUES

There are several different types of theories in nursing. Grand theories look at nursing from a broad perspective of human needs. In contrast, 
middle-range theories are narrower in focus, and look at specific aspects of the nursing profession. Due to their narrower scope, middle-range theories are more applicable for use in actual nursing practice.

High level middle-range theories can be quite complex (for example, Benner’s “Novice to Expert Theory” and Leininger’s “Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality”). Less complex middle-range theories include Mishel’s “Uncertainty in Illness Theory,” Kolcaba’s “Comfort Theory,” and Lenz and Pugh’s “Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms.” Some middle-range theories are even more specifically focused. For example, Beck’s “Postpartum Depression Theory” or Eakes et al.’s “Theory of Chronic Sorrow.”

For this Discussion, you will identify a practice or organization issue of importance to you. Then, you select two middle-range theories and apply them to address the practice or organization issue.

Note: The practice issue you select will also inform your work in Week 3 (and can potentially be utilized throughout the remainder of this course).
