"The interest in middle range theory continues to grow as demonstrated by the increased number of published theories as well as the desire among nursing faculty, students, and researchers to use theories at the middle range to guide practice and research. A third editor, Dr. Roger D. Carpenter, has been added to the book. He brings previous experience as a book editor, and an associate editor of a well-established nursing research journal. In addition, he has experience teaching theory and research to DNP and PhD students. There are four added features in the fifth edition of this book. These are the addition of new theories, addition of a section on application of middle range theory to practice, extensive revision on the chapter on building concepts for research, and addition of a chapter on application of middle range theory to education"--
Three-time recipient of the AJN Book of the Year Award!
The completely revised fifth edition of this authoritative text encompasses the most current middle range theories for graduate nursing students and researchers. User-friendly and consistently organized, it helps readers to understand the connection of research to larger conceptual models in nursing. The fifth edition presents three new theories, a revised chapter on concept-building, two published examples demonstrating the concept-building process, and a new section on the application of middle range theory that addresses its use for practice, and education. Additional new features include the fresh perspectives of a third editor, a two-color design to enhance readability, and discussion questions concluding each chapter.
The text describes sixteen middle range theories and elaborates on disciplinary perspectives, providing an organizing framework and evaluating the theory. Each theory is consistently organized by purpose, historical development, primary concepts, the relationships among concepts, and its use in nursing practice and research. Understanding of concepts is enhanced by the book's use of the ladder of abstraction for each theory to explain its relationship to philosophical, conceptual, and empirical theory dimensions.

- Includes three new theoriesInner Strength, Unitary Caring, and Nature Immersionfor a total of 16 theories
- A completely new section on application of theory to practice
- New chapter on application of middle range theory to education
