Concept Analysis Paper

Description

In this paper you will demonstrate scholarly, graduate school level writing and critical analysis of existing nursing knowledge. Your final paper will be 7–10 pages (excluding title page and references), using APA format with at least 8–10 scholarly nursing sources of information.

Directions:

For your final submission, you will take a concept of interest to you and develop it into a final concept analysis paper. You may choose to apply your Unit 3 concept to this Assignment, or you may select another single word (concept) that you have wondered about or discovered in your readings.

The Unit 9 Assignment will focus solely upon the discipline of nursing with the inclusion of nursing scholarly sources to substantiate the literature review. Locate evidenced-based articles (based on research studies in nursing) that use the concept or discuss the concept.

For this paper you will:

  • Identify the concept and purpose for studying the concept.
  • Describe reasons for this concept being of interest to nursing and its body of knowledge.
  • Define the attributes of the concept and relevant uses.
  • Provide a summary of the concept as described in each article with examples of how the term was defined.
  • Provide the theoretical and operational definition of the concept based on the review of literature. (Theoretical is pure definition and operational is how it is used in practice.)
  • Apply the concept as it relates to your practice and how you will use this concept in the future.
  • Describe the value of these concept analyses to your understanding of nursing knowledge.


Here is the grading rubric. Unit_9_Grading_Rubric.xlsx 

And other information from Unit 3 Assignemnt (as mentioned above) Unit 3.docx 


The word (concept) I used was RESEARCH, but feel free to change this if you want too. This paper is worth 300 points, 1/3 of the class grade, so please help me with this, as I know you can do a great job! thank you!

It is important to understand that while professionals from various fields will use the same word, they often carry very different meanings. Likewise, it is important for every health professional to be able to explain the meaning/use/interpretation of a term to patients in a way that they can understand. To complete this Assignment, you will explore the various definitions of a single word (concept) and compile a detailed description of theses definitions and interpretations of that word. To begin, select a word (concept) familiar to you in health care that has multiple interpretations and uses, e.g., heart. The heart is an organ, a muscle, a control center, a source of emotion, etc. Examples to choose from include, but are not limited to: fail team loneliness rehabilitation error soul hardiness trauma death spirit stress innovation research grief quality evidence care Feel free to be creative in your choice of terms. You will provide a description of uses, definitions, and varied interpretations of the term using a variety of multiple academic disciplines outside the discipline of nursing. Academic disciplines to choose from include, but are not limited to: sociology psychology economics religion philosophy anthropology political science computer science education business Uses, definitions, and interpretations will be obtained from primary and secondary sources or reliable web sources recognized as credible and authoritative (not dictionaries or Wikipedia). Sources to choose from include, but are not limited to: periodicals government websites universities books professional associations credible/authoritative websites The word (concept) I used was RESEARCH, but feel free to change this if you want too. Thanks!
