A classical skeleton of nursing theories

Abstract

The theory framework of nursing science is built in a dynamic process that arises from practice and is reproduced through research, mainly by analysis and development of concepts and theories. Science consists of movement from common sense to critical evaluation, which is often poorly defined or inadequately performed. There are many and different theories with regards to the care, practice, education, Research and administration. Metaparadigm is a set of theories or ideas that provide structure for how a discipline should function. For a nursing discipline, these theories consist of four basic concepts that address the patient as a whole, the patient’s health and well-being, the patient’s environment and the nursing responsibilities.
