Theory, Research, and Practice

In this assignment, you will write a paper that analyzes a scenario and considers the relationships between theory, research, and practice in evidence-based research.

Step 1: Read the following scenario.

During the course of your practice as a staff nurse on a medical-surgical unit, the nurse manager and unit-based council state that discharge teaching for postoperative patients will now include information pertaining to wound assessments, care, and dressing changes (as needed).

The basis for this change stemmed from the unit consensus about postoperative readmissions with wound infections.

The unit-based council performed a review of the literature and has decided to implement a discharge teaching plan that will include specific information addressing wound care.

Step 2: Identify one research article pertaining to this problem.

The article must be from nursing research from the United States and be published within the last five years in a peer-reviewed journal.

Suggestions for finding an article include use of the library and journal articles posted to the Internet.

Step 3: Review aspects of theories and conceptual models.

Consider the various aspects of a theory and nursing conceptual models.

Consider the purpose of research and how theory and research work together to support evidence-based practice.

Think of how theory and nursing conceptual models could be used to reflect on the problem in nursing practice described in Step 1.

Step 4: Write a two-page paper.

Write a paper that analyzes the importance of theory, research findings, and practice as it relates to evidence-based research.

Then, using the scenario from Step 1 and the article you identified in Step 2, summarize how the aspects of a theory would help support evidence-based research into the problem described in the scenario.

Also, describe which nursing conceptual model would be appropriate for research into this problem and why.

How do the academic institutions have attended fit within larger social and political forces operating in society?

Social theory

One goal of social Theory is to illuminate connections between our individual experience and social processes.  would like you to do is to write an essay that shows how to apply some of the sociological theories we have learned this semester to analyze social forces and processes affecting and affected by your goal of earning a college degree . We’ve encountered lots of ideas about how social forces operate in society. This is your opportunity to show that you can apply sociological insights to make sense of how what and why you study in college affects and is affected by social processes large and small.

In the spirit of multiperspectival theorizing,Use three different sociological theorists to illuminate potential connections between your experiences seeking a college degree and the larger social processes that have been unfolding around you (in the past and/or the present).

What social processes would each theorist highlight? Be sure to pay attention to what the theorist would have to say about social influences unfolding at the micro- and macro-level.

Choose one theorist from each of the three groups listed below and present how she or he would tend to view social influences affecting and affected by your pursuit of a college degree. Some questions that might be relevant to your thinking about this are:

What social forces shape the content of my studies?

How do the academic institutions have attended fit within larger social and political forces operating in society?

How might what  have or am studying affect my own psychological processes and/or relationships with others?

Who benefits from the the way higher education is organized?

Who is hurt by this organization? These are just questions to get you thinking about how some of the theorists in the lists below might analyze your experience as a learner in this environment.

There are many others that may occur to you…just use the ones that you find most appropriate to each theorist you choose to write about.

Draw upon what we have covered in our discussions, the readings, and the posted instructor’s comments. Be sure to properly cite any quoted and/or paraphrased material drawn from these sources. There is no need to bring in additional sources.

USE theorist from EACH of the following groups (your essay will thus cover three theorists):

Patricia Hill Collins

Harriet Martineau

Dorothy Smith

you need to write about the perspectives of ONE theorist from EACH group. Every semester, someone makes the mistake of writing about three theorists from the same group… don’t let this be you.

Focus your argument to ensure that your answer does not exceed 1200 words (about five double-spaced pages using 12 point font). make sure to maintain the paragraph formatting when you enter your answer.
