Directions:

Think back to your most recent time in the clinical setting when another discipline (respiratory, physical therapy, nutrition, occupational therapy) was utilized.

Describe a form of interdisciplinary collaborative care you've seen on your current assigned clinical or work site. Then have a discussion about the following questions:

• Who coordinated that care? What was the nurse's role in ascertaining that the care was provided?
• Was the patient's outcome met? How or why not? What would you, a novice nurse-leader, have done differently to achieve the patient's goals?

Discuss the components of the Conceptual-Theoretical-Empirical structure and how it supports the development of nursing knowledge. Provide references.

Identify the C-T-E structure in the following two articles:

Article 1:

• Sherman, D.W. (1996). Nurses’ willingness to care for AIDS patients: Relationship to spirituality, perceived social support, and death anxiety. Image: Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 28(3), 205-213

Article 2:

• Sherman, D. W., Haber, J., Hoskins, C., Budin, W., Maislin, G., & Shukla, S. (2009). Differences in physical, emotional, and social adjustment of Intimate, family, and non-family patient-partner dyads based on a breast cancer intervention study. Oncology Nursing Forum, 36(4), E18-197.

The Conceptual Framework is the overall Framework/Grand Theory/Model (may be terms used Synonymously) which is more abstract and from which is developed the Middle Range Theory. The Middle Range Theory is given a name related to the Clinical Problem/Phenomena of Interest and Identifies the Concepts/Variables that will be examined statistically. The Concepts/Variables will be measured by instruments that are otherwise known as Empirical Indicators. Make sure to identify the primary author of the instruments — Need a Reference for each Instrument with a date.

Do not Mix up the CF and Theory (Middle Range Specific to the Clinical Issue)

Article 1:

• Conceptual Framework:
• Theory:
• Empirical Indicators (Instruments to Measure the Concepts):

Article 2:

• Conceptual Framework:
• Theory:
• Empirical Indicators (Instruments to Measure the Concepts)
