Concept analysis is used to explore the meaning of a concept to further the understanding of the concept. A research of the literature will help to define the meaning of the concept. Concept analysis is used to:
•Identity gaps in nursing knowledge
•Determine the need to refine or clarify a concept (a phenomenon of interest); clarify the meaning of terms
•Evaluate the adequacy of competing concepts
•Determine the fit between the definition of the concept and its clinical application
•Using the reading assignment (McEwen & Wills, Theoretical Basis for Nursing, Unit III: Shared Theories Used by Nurses, Chapter 16: Theories, Models, and Frameworks from Administration and Management), develop a concept analysis paper.
•Also, in the text (McEwen & Mills), see p. 58, Box 3-1, Steps in Concept Analysis. This may offer some ideas as to how to structure your research efforts when you write the paper. Also, consider:
•Why is this concept important for nurses?
•What are the different classifications and definitions that have been uncovered, and how are they used and measured?
•What are the consequences for the nursing staff when a particular type of leadership or management theory is used?
Include in your concept analysis paper:
•An introduction
•Background explaining the need for the analysis of the concept
•A discussion of various forms of the concept selected, including classifications, manifestations, and measurement of the concept, causes, and consequences
•Implications for nursing
Conclusion/Summary:
•Identify real conclusions, not just a summary/repetition of the findings
•References listed in APA format (a minimum of four references besides your textbook)
The paper should be 7-8 pages long and based on a faculty-approved concept. It should be typed in Times New Roman using 12-point font, and double-spaced with 1" margins. APA format must be used, including a properly formatted cover page, in-text citations, and a reference list. The proper use of headings in APA format is also required.

7. Identify antecedents and consequences.
8. Define empirical referents
