Describe in detail the nursing middle range theory that you selected. This description must be accurate and in sufficient depth so that the reader will be able to understand important concepts and how they relate to one another. Use 2 or more primary sources to support the description of the theory.
Application of the Theory in Research and/or Practice (25%) – Provide a brief overview of the literature that supports the use of this theory. This evidence must be in the form of research or application in the clinical setting. Please note that for this section SIX recent, peer-reviewed articles meet the assignment criteria.
The setting or population in these three articles does not have to be similar or the same as your problem. For example, if the problem you identify is pain in elderly dementia patients and you are using Comfort Theory, the three articles you choose do not have to be about the use of Comfort Theory with elderly patients in pain. Any three recent peer reviewed articles that used Comfort Theory in research or practice can be included.
