Discussion Board 2 Questions
Select an article on your Supplemental Reading list in Module 1.2 and answer the following questions:
How is the concept defined?
What is the empirical referent for the concept? Suggest ways the concept might be measured in your clinical setting. If the authors did not suggest ways of measuring the concept, create ways of measuring the concept based on the defining attributes of the concept.
What other information helps to illuminate the concept? e.g. case examples or exemplars, antecedents, consequences, synthesis, contrast.
What did the particular method of concept analysis add to your understanding of the concept? In other words, justify the use of the method -- or consider how a different concept analysis method might have provided a different picture of the concept.
Provide an example of this concept from your practice. How does the conceptualization of the concept fit with your experience?
Does the concept analysis begin to suggest propositions or testable hypotheses? For instance, could you begin to say something like "This concept occurs when . . ." or "When this concept is present, then . . ."? Give examples, if possible. In other words, consider how this concept analysis might be the beginning of a theory.
Considering the various levels of abstraction (Metaparadigm, Philosophy, Conceptual Model, Grand Theory, Middle Range Theory, Practice Theory), which do you see as most appropriate to your nursing practice? Why? Or could you argue for a time and place for each level of abstraction?
