Discussion Post: Theoretical and Scientific Foundations of Nursing
Applying interdisciplinary theories to nursing practice
Using the same practice issue from the Discussion (Application of Middle Range Theories to the Care of Individuals with Bipolar: Bipolar disorder)and an interdisciplinary theory you will be assigned, you will research your assigned theory for applications in addressing your practice issue. Although your focus is exploring one theory in depth, as you engage with colleagues, consider other theories that also apply to your practice issue. Learning from colleagues is particularly important and encouraged with this Discussion.
The interdisciplinary theory assignments are as follows:
Health Belief
1) Review the Learning Resources, with particular attention to information on your assigned theory.
2) In addition, search for at least two scholarly articles published within the previous 5 years on your assigned theory. Identify examples and insight for applying this theory to your practice issue.
3) Consider how to explain your assigned theory and its applications to nursing practice and the specific issue you are addressing.
Post a brief description of your assigned theory and your practice issue. Then, explain how you would apply your assigned theory to your practice issue and explain your reasoning. Be specific and provide examples. Cite your sources in your post.
