Strategies for Theory Construction in Nursing PDF

If you are a student in an MPhil/PhD program and have to do concept analysis, then this is a must have. Walker and Avant simplified the Wilsonian method. I followed the book and did a great job in my coursework and then in the conceptual and operational definition of the variables for my research proposal.

This book was listed as a recommended reading source, but not required for a class I was taking. I decided to go ahead and order it when I realized the required text required constant use of dictionary to understand its content. This book turned out to be the "Nursing Theory for Dummies," for me. It was easy to read and follow. I would definitely recommend it! The only thing I regret is that I ordered the book and paid for one day shipping, and the book did not arrive in the recommeded time, even though the seller was Amazon and not an individual seller. It would seem that it's better to take your chance on the individuals selling their items. I was very disappointed in Amazon.
