1. Introduction The introduction substantively presents all the following elements: · Identifies the role of concept analysis within theory development. · Identifies the selected nursing concept. · Identifies the nursing theory that addresses the selected concept. · Names the sections of the paper. · Scholarly support is required. 2. 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). · A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. Antecedent and Consequence This section requires the identification of: · 1 antecedent of the selected nursing concept. · 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. 6. 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. 7. Construct Cases Explanation: hypothetical or real-life situations demonstrating the use or absence of the concept. This section requires the creation of a model case, borderline case, and contrary case. · 1 Model Case is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating within the case each of the following areas: o Definition o All identified attributes Explanation: A model case is an example of a hypothetical or real-life situation that demonstrates all of the attributes noted previously in this assignment. · 1 Borderline Case is created by the student in which one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing. · 1 Contrary Case is created by the student that demonstrates the opposite of the selected nursing concepts. All identified attributes of the concept are absent in this case. Explanation: Borderline case is a created case where one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing. Contrary case is a created case that demonstrate the complete opposite of the selected nursing concept all identified attributes are missing. 8. Theoretical Applications of the Concept · Discuss the purpose of a concept analysis in relationship to theory. · Explain how the concept applies to the selected nursing theory. · A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required. 9. Conclusion This section requires: · Summarization of key information regarding: o Selected nursing concept. o Selected nursing theory. o Application of concept analysis findings to advanced practice nursing (specific to selected specialty track professional role and/or area of practice). · The concluding statements include self-reflection on the new knowledge gained from conducting a concept analysis. (Self-reflection may be written in first-person.) Preparing the Assignment Criteria for Format and Special Instructions 1.
