Hugh McKenna bridges the gap between theory and practice and demystifies much of the confusing terminology surrounding nursing theory. Includes step-by-step guidelines on how to analyse concepts and select, apply and test theories in practice.

Nursing theory is a major part of all nursing courses and nurses are encouraged to use theories in practice, but it is not always easy for the student to make a real connection between the two. Drawing on many years' experience of teaching and research, Hugh McKenna addresses the theory needs of both students and qualified staff. He demystifies the confusing terminology associated with nursing theory and shows how all nurses can build theory from practice through reflection and analysis. This text offers step-by-step guidelines on:

* how to analyse concepts
* how to generate and select theory
* how to apply and test theory in practice.

Written in a friendly, easy to read style, Nursing Theories and Models puts forward realistic strategies for bridging the theory-practice gap.

Hugh McKenna is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health Sciences and Education at the University of Ulster
