NR 501 DeVry Week 3 Discussion Latest

Steps of Concept Analysis (graded)

Choose a nursing concept (be sure to utilize a nursing theory) and then respond to each of the steps in a concept analysis according to your chosen topic. This knowledge does not have to be exhaustive, but it should serve as a foundation for the forthcoming work. Include at least one scholarly reference.

As you begin, take a moment and reflect on the following course/program outcome:

Demonstrate logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of a theory to nursing practice. (PO #4)

In order to begin this discussion, it is important to first reflect on the steps involved in concept analysis. Wills & McEwen (2014) include a table identifying the steps of concept analysis (derived from Walker & Avant, 2005).

The steps include the following:

1) select a Concept;
2) determine the aims or purpose of the analysis;
3) identify all the uses of the concept possible;
4) determine the defining attributes
5. Identify model case;
6) Identify borderline, related, contrary, and illegitimate cases;
7) Identify antecedents and consequences; and
8) Define empirical referents.” (p. 58).

See Box 3-1. See you in the threaded discussions.

Please make an attempt to reflect a clear and diligent attempt of applying the steps. I look forward to seeing you in the threaded discussions.
