Alligood, M. R. (2013). Introduction to nursing theory: its history, significance, and
analysis. Nursing theorists and their work-e-Book, 1.
According to Alligood (2013), the history of nursing science began with Florence
Nightingale. Since then the theory of nursing arises. The major implications added to this
theory in the mid-1970s, this implication describes that current nursing theory is lacked with
conceptual connections and theoretical framework. Thus, it is necessary to add the various
standardization for curricula about master’s education provided by the National League for
Nursing accreditation criteria. Moreover, in the mid-1980s other implication was added in
this hypothesis which describes that transition should be conducted from pre-diagram to the
paradigm period. This hypothesis initially describes that nursing practices should begin with
the implications of having the discipline and a positive attitude, only then the associated
person can begin with the fundamentals of patient safety culture in an effective and efficient
way. Among this, the first type is the nursing philosophy. Philosophy describes the
phenomena through analysis, reasoning and logical presentation of data in order to conduct
an effective analysis of patient safety.
Chinn, P. L., & Kramer, M. K. (2013). Integrated theory & knowledge development in
nursing-E-Book. Elsevier Health Sciences.
According to Chinn & Kramer (2013), during nursing practices, people should imply
discipline because discipline is the prime factor through which people can incorporate
knowledge about nursing practice. The author further describes that discipline will not only
help in learning and gaining knowledge through textbooks but discipline will also help at the
time of practical sessions. For example: while easing the pain of a severely burned child,
nurses can learn for more because now they will utilize all their theoretical knowledge on the

NURSING SCIENCE 2
practical situation but here the situation demands discipline in order to incorporate the task
effectively and efficiently during the nursing practices. In nursing practices, the pattern of
knowledge includes the idea of empiric knowledge, ethical knowledge, aesthetic in nature,
etc. Apart from this, it is also mentioned that nursing practices require that nurses who follow
the order of their senior can be the judge as practicing well. For example: senior ordered them
for wound irrigation then they complete this task successfully, they will known as practicing
well but they should work beyond just practicing, they should work with the motive to be
engaged in praxis.
Bueger, C., & Gadinger, F. (2018). International practice theory. Cham: Palgrave
Macmillan.
According to Bueger & Gadinger (2018), in order to gain knowledge about
International Practice Theory (IPT), it is important to gain knowledge about IR scholars. The
knowledge of multilateral and bilateral practices is known as diplomatic practices that
become extremely important practices that gave rises tot the IPT. This is the reason that the
study of IPT is connected with the study of diplomatic practices. This is divided into two
major parts. Firstly, diplomatic actions and diplomatic culture in nursing practices are known
as the main area of investigation under IPT. Secondly, the knowledge of critical security is
the primary innovator and driver of IPT. Moreover, the third mainstream of IPT lies in the
transnational and global governance processes. The author also describes that practice
theoretical thinking in IPT should be connected in a wide area through the perspective of
philosophy and social theory. In this study, the author incorporates the discussion about the
mapping technology through which they connected ICT with other practices and social
hypothesis.

Koh, K. (2013). Theory-to-research-to-theory strategy: A research-based expansion of
radical change theory. Library & Information Science Research, 35(1), 33-40.
According to Koh (2013), in nursing practice and in entire health care, the utilization
of hypothesis and all the other research are primary significant to all the discipline methods.
In nursing practices, all the scholarly literature and other peer journals are the ventures that
diversely share the detailed methods on the main syndrome about the measures of hypothesis
with developed research. In this research, the author describes the investigated knowledge
about the nursing behaviour of the digital age with radical changes. Radical changes are
guides towards the development of research questions through adequate knowledge in the
collection and analysis of all the nursing practices. In this literature, the author mainly
focuses on radical changes. The main reason to focus on the radical changes lies in the
development of the hypothesis's result with effective analysis. Moreover, this literature also
contributes to the typology creation because it is an expansion of hypothesis with lays in the
groundwork of future nursing practices with the advancement of technology in healthcare.
Howie, L. O., Troutman-Jordan, M., & Newman, A. M. (2014). Social support and
successful aging in assisted living residents. Educational gerontology, 40(1), 61-70.
According to Howie, Troutman-Jordan & Newman (2014), successful aging is
entirely associated with a social support structure. On the other hand, various comorbidities,
low social interaction and increased dependence on the nurses by the patients give rise to the
assisted living community (ALC). This is known as the cross-sectional descriptive study with
the utilization of reviewed Lubben Social network scale and the effective stock of aging
relationship through the nursing practices with older ALC residents. Apart from this, the
findings indicators of this literature support the older ALC because they are incorporating the
inadequate social support. The author further describes that support from friends and beloved

NURSING SCIENCE 4
ones is more important then the support of any other professional even if the professional
belongs from the nursing houses and other health care professionals.
McCarthy, V. L., Ling, J., Bowland, S., Hall, L. A., & Connelly, J. (2015). Promoting
self-transcendence and well-being in community-dwelling older adults: A pilot
study of a psychoeducational intervention. Geriatric Nursing, 36(6), 431-437.
According to McCarthy, Ling, Bowland, Hall & Connelly (2015), self-transcendence
(ST) is an inherent and the late development process that involves wide views about an
individual’s perspective on the relationship. As per the author, ST is known for the
instrumental in helping others with adults. This implies that ST should be connected with the
challenging life and other adverse situations, for example: threatening diagnosis. The reason
behind associating ST with the adverse circumstance in medical science is that many people
have fewer resources capacity in terms of fewer personnel and financial resources so they
arise of development practical programs also support optimal development of other
transcendence & health program. The author has indicated the intervention piloted with the
feasibility study. As a theory of self-transcendence also incorporates the shared view of
higher consciousness.
Troutman-Jordan, M., & Staples, J. (2014). Successful aging from the viewpoint of
older adults. Research and theory for nursing practice, 28(1), 87-104.
According to Troutman-Jordan & Staples (2014), the concept of successful aging
should be done incorporation with the related hypothesis. The copying process is also
described with functional performance, comfort resources and other beneficial contributions
made by the positive perspective of the US aging population. In this literature, the author had
conducted research through secondary and qualitative analyses. Through this analysis, it is
estimated that the current USA population that belongs in the category of 65 years and above

NURSING SCIENCE 5
will reach 88.5 million by the year 2050. Moreover, it is explained that all the hypothesis
which are related to the successful aging will be developed from the perspective of the
elucidate potential intervention areas. The author also contributes that adding positive
spirituality with the fourth factor will enhance the theoretical implication.
Alligood, M. R. (2017). Nursing Theorists and Their Work-E-Book. Elsevier Health
Sciences
According to Alligood (2017), nursing practices follow a development path of
specialized theoretical framework in the theory utilization era. Thus, a hypothesis related to
the major role in knowledge development is directly linked with the approach and guiding the
research process. This literature describes the evolution of nursing theories. The author began
the process of analysis with the decision-making model about nursing practices of research.
The author has designed the metaparadigm which has the evolution of six nursing theories.
The evolution process starts with philosophy, conceptual models, grand theory, nursing
theory, middle-range theory and the future of nursing theories. The author has also described
that in the mid-1970s, an evaluation is conducted for the 25 years of nursing journals, all the
process starts because of effective inclusion in the master's degree program of the nursing
practices.
Sitzman, K. (2017). Understanding the work of nurse theorists: A creative beginning.
According to Sitzman (2017), the work of nursing theories enables the nurses to
perform with an effective and efficient direction in the patient safety culture. This nursing
hypothesis enables the practitioners to incorporate effective methods through which they can
give support to their patients and to showcase a positive implication on the health of the
patients. Apart from this, in this literature, the author conducted a secondary research method
to observe the implications of theoretical knowledge with practical implications. By the

NURSING SCIENCE 6
observation, it is an analysis that the nursing hypothesis plays a crucial role in showcasing a
positive impact on the patient safety culture but the main concern is that the majority of the
nursing theories describe another meaning which confuses the nurses. In order to overcome
this phenomenon, it is an extremely important theoretical framework should be designed by
keeping the view to provide effective practical understanding.
Sitzman, K. (2017). Understanding the work of nurse theorists: A creative beginning.
According to Rich (2017), the theory of advance nursing practices incorporates the
utilization of advanced technology. The involvement of technology in nursing practices and
in the entire health care study will show a positive effect on the practitioners. Apart from this,
in this literature, it is also mentioned that nursing theories describe the relationship and
interactions because theories are multidimensional and it consists of various tangible and
intangible components. This book is divided into six parts, the first part describes the
introduction of theory in nursing and so on. Apart from this, the theory of nursing
philosophies is also focused on defining nurses with their delegation of responsibility. For
example: in this literature author has described this with the comparison of theory
construction with pointillism.
