This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to complete a concept analysis of a concept found in a nursing theory using an identified process. The assignment fosters analytical thinking related to the selected concept as well as application within the profession. COURSE OUTCOMES Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to: (CO#1) Analyze theories from nursing and relevant fields with respect to their components, relationships among the components, logic of the propositions, comprehensiveness, and utility to advanced nursing.

The source of the concept for this assignment must be a published nursing theory. The selected concept is identified and then the elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge for application within the model and alternative cases. Non-nursing theories may NOT be used. The paper concludes with a synthesis of the student’s new knowledge about the concept. The scholarly literature is incorporated throughout the analysis. Only the elements identified in this assignment should be used for this concept analysis. Criteria for Content Introduction The introduction substantively presents all following 4 (four) elements: Identifies the role of concept analysis within theory development, Identifies the selected nursing concept, Identifies the nursing theory from which the selected concept was obtained, and Names the sections of the paper. Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing concept This section includes: Defines/explains the concept using scholarly literature (a dictionary maybe used for this section ONLY, and additional scholarly nursing references are required), and Information about the concept as discussed by the theorist from the selected nursing theory is substantively presented. A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required. Literature review This section requires: A substantive discussion of at least 6 (six) scholarly nursing literature sources on the selected concept. Themes, ideas, and/or facts about the concept found in the reviewed sources are presented in an organized fashion. Support from nursing literature is required. Please Note: Primary research articles about the selected nursing concept are the most useful resource for the literature review. Defining attributes For this section: A minimum of THREE (3) attributes are required. A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation: An attribute identifies characteristics of a concept. For this situation, the characteristics of the selected nursing concept are identified and discussed. Antecedent and Consequence This section requires the identification of: 1 antecedent of the selected nursing concept, and 1 consequence of the selected nursing concept. A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation: An antecedent is an identifiable occurrence that precedes an event. In this situation, an antecedent precedes a selected nursing concept. A consequence follows or is the result of an event. In this situation a consequence follows or is the result of the selected nursing concept. Empirical Referents This section requires the identification of: 2 (two) empirical referents of the selected nursing concept. A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation: An empirical referent is an objective ways to measure or determine the presence of the selected nursing concept. Model Cases 1 model case is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating within the case each of the following areas: Definition, All identified attributes, Antecedent, Consequence, and Empirical referent or Measurement Information from selected nursing theory is applied to the created model case. A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation: A model case is an example of the hypothetical individual who demonstrates all of the attributes, antecedents, consequences, and referents noted previously in this assignment. Alternative Cases This section requires: The identification of 2 (two) alternative cases correctly created and presented. The two required alternative cases are: Borderline (absence of one or two of previously identified attributes of the selected nursing concept. Contrary (demonstrates the complete opposite of selected nursing concept) Applies information from selected nursing theory. Explanation: Alternative cases represent the opposite of the model case. For this assignment, two alternative cases are required. These are: Borderline case which is a created case where one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing. Contrary case which is a created case that demonstrate the complete opposite of the selected nursing concept. Conclusion This section requires: Summarization of key information regarding: o Selected nursing concept, o Selected nursing theory, and o Application of concept analysis findings to advanced nursing practice. The concluding statements include self-reflection on the new knowledge gained from conducting a concept analysis. PREPARING THE ASSIGNMENT Criteria for Format and Special Instructions The paper (excluding the title page and reference page) should be at least 8 pages. Points will be lost for not meeting these length requirements. Title page, running head, body of paper, and reference page must follow APA guidelines as found in the 6th edition of the manual.

Ideas and information from scholarly, peer reviewed, nursing sources must be cited and referenced correctly. Rules of grammar, spelling, word usage, and punctuation are followed and consistent with formal, scientific writing. PLEASE note: Do not rely on .com sites to identify the nursing theory as they do not provide accurate information in all cases. Possible Concepts: The following concepts are not required; students may select one of these concepts or find another concept. Each selected concept must be associated with a nursing theory; the use of non-nursing theories is NOT allowed. Caring
