Description
Theories are patterns that guide the thinking about, being, and doing of nursing. Theories provide structure to nursing practice and
research. Theories guide nursing practice, stimulate creative thinking, facilitate communication, and at the same time clarify purposes.
A metaparadigm is a global concept of a disciple that identifies the primary phenomena of interest to that discipline. In nursing, the
dominate phenomena within the science of nursing revolves around the concepts of man.
Assignment Criteria:

3. Define and discuss the nursing metaparadigm.
a. Explain each of the four concepts that comprise the nursing metaparadigm
4. Explain the importance of theory in nursing practice.
a. provide and discuss two examples from current practice
5. The scholarly paper should be 4-5 pages excluding the title and reference pages.
6. Include level 1 and level 2 headings.
7. The paper should begin with an introductory paragraph that includes the purpose statement. The introductory paragraph and

to be valid, it is necessary to consider all metaparadigms identified in principle.
Theory
Theories are guides used to explain, understand and predict situations and events and also
challenge the existing knowledge about the subject matter. It is a systematic way of analyzing
behaviors and phenomena through interrelated concepts, propositions and definitions that
surround a situation (Homans, 2017). Theories direct the search for identifying why people do
and fail to do certain things. They also help gather the information needed to make an effective
strategy for intervening situations and provide an understanding of how to design a successful
program.
The purpose of theories is to name the observations and make concepts which explain the
relationship between subjects. Theories allow people to figure out how to bring change to what
they have seen and explained. Further, a theory explains what has been done in the past and
currently and also demonstrates how certain concepts work. There are two kinds of theories, Pure
and practical theory. The two theories must be incorporated together and all underlying
assumptions adjusted to achieve efficiency.

A metaparadigm is the general assertion of any discipline, and it functions as a skeleton
for the development of other structured concepts. In nursing, Metapar...
