1. THEORETICAL NURSING Development and Progress
THEORETICAL NURSING Development and ProgressTHEORETICAL NURSING Development
and Progresswas that the processes for theory development were new to nursing andhence,
nurses in graduate programs learned strategies for advancing knowledge from other
disciplines. This assumption was debunked with the knowledge that nurses were always
engaged in knowledge development, driven by their experiences in clinical practice.
Because of these assumptions, most of the early writing about theory development was
about outlining strategies that should be used, rather than strategies that have already been
used in the discipline to develop theories. Theorists themselves did not uncover or
adequately discuss ways by which they developed their theories, therefore the tendency
was to describe processes that were based on the- ories developed in other disciplines,
mainly the physical and social sciences. And an implicit assumption was made that there
should be a single strategy for theory development, some claiming to begin the process
from practice, and others believing it should be driven by research”—Provided by
