UTILISATION OF NURSING THEORIES IN NURSING PRACTICE – A REVIEW
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Nursing theorists have contributed towards the development of a body of knowledge to the profession. Benefits of having a definite body of knowledge include quality patient care and improved professional status. Nurses need to recognise the need for utilising nursing theories to practice. The demand for evidence based practice have gained great momentum in the current Nursing scenario. A shift from theory development to theory utilisation has contributed to a variety of scholarly approaches to practice of nursing. The purpose of this article is to illustrate successful use of nursing theories in various practice settings. Nursing theorists have tried to explain nursing in their own perspectives and it is the challenge of individual nurse to utilise the one suited to their setting.
