Week 3: Concept Analysis Guidelines and Rubric (Links to an external site.)

Purpose

This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to complete an analysis of a concept supported by 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

CO 1: Demonstrate logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of a theory to nursing practice. (PO 2, 5)

 

CO 4: Analyze theories from nursing and relevant fields with respect to the components, relationship among the components, and the application to advanced nursing practice. (PO 1)

 

Due Date Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week 3

 

Students are given the opportunity to request an extension on assignments for emergent situations. Supporting documentation must be submitted to the assigned faculty. If the student’s request is not approved, the assignment is graded and a late penalty is applied as follows:

 

Monday = 10% of total possible point reduction

Tuesday = 20% of total possible point reduction

Wednesday = 30% of total possible point reduction

If the student’s request is approved, the student will be informed of the revised due date. Should the student fail to meet the revised due date, the assignment is graded and a late penalty is applied as follows:

 

Monday = 10% of total possible point reduction

Description of the Assignment

 

This assignment presents a modified method for conducting a concept analysis of ONE concept that is important and useful to nursing.  The concept for this assignment must be supported by 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 as demonstrated through the creation of model, borderline, and contrary cases.  Theoretical applications of the concept are also discussed. 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 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.

 

 

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.

 

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.

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.

Week 3: Concept Analysis Assignment

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.

 

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:

Definition

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.

Week 3: Concept Analysis Assignment

Theoretical Applications of the Concept

Discuss the purpose of a concept analysis in relationship to theory.

Conclusion

This section requires:

 

Summarization of key information regarding:

Selected nursing concept.

Selected nursing theory.

Application of concept analysis findings to advanced practice nursing (specific to selected specialty track professional role and/or area of practice).

Preparing the Assignment

Criteria for Format and Special Instructions

The paper (excluding the title page and reference page) should be at least 6, but no more than 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. This includes the use of headings for each section of the paper except for the introduction where no heading is used.

The source of the concept for this assignment must be a published nursing Non-nursing theories may NOT be used.

A minimum of 6 (six) scholarly references must be used. Required textbooks for this course, and Chamberlain College of Nursing lesson information may NOT be used as scholarly references for this assignment.
