国外护理中域理论和情境理论构建方法介绍及启示

Introduction and implications of the construction methods of middle-range and situation-specific nursing theories out of China

护理理论的构建是护理作为一门独立科学学科的价值体现。近年来理论的发展以贴近护理实践、更具实际指导意义的中域理论和情境理论为主。既往文献多局限于描述理论单个元素(如概念)的澄清和发展,缺少从整体角度对理论构建方法与内容的阐述。该文对国外护理领域中常用的中域理论和情境理论的构建方法进行整理,并以实例阐述,旨在为我国研究者提供理论构建方法学的启示。

The development of nursing theories has the value of nursing as an independent scientific discipline.Theory construction in nursing has been focused on the development of middle-range theories and situation-specific theories in recent years and these theories are closer to and have more practical guidance on nursing practice.Previous publications are limited to the discussion on the clarification and development of individual theory elements(such as concepts);there is a lack of an illustration on methods and contents of theory construction from a wholistic perspective.This article summarized the commonly used approaches for theory construction of middle-range and situation-specific nursing theories.Cases were introduced to illustrate the theory development.The aim of this review is to provide implications on the methodology of theory construction to nursing theorists in China.
