Analysis and Application of a Nursing Theory
Using the nursing theory you selected in the Week 4 – Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring – consider how the following components would be included in an analysis of that theory:
Origin of the theory
Meaning of the theory
Logical adequacy of the theory
Usefulness of the theory
Generalizability of the theory
Degree of parsimony within the theory
Testability of the theory
What rationale can you provide which validates the selected theory as a framework for nursing practice? Be sure to include scholarly references to support your discussion.
