Nursing Theory: A Practical Tool for the Advanced Practice Nurse in the Post Pandemic Era focuses on the re-evaluation of nursing theory in a post-pandemic world, highlighting its fluidity and its ability to enhance nursing practice. The text creates a new platform for advanced practice nursing (APN) students to view theory beyond the confines of research frameworks and as a nursing tool to support clinical, educational, and leadership practices. The book introduces a novel algorithm, MetaPORT, for evaluating clinical and educational issues, facilitating the selection of suitable nursing theories or models for innovative solutions.
Structured around the nursing metaparadigm—Health, Nurse, Person, and Environment—the book engages advanced practice nursing (APN) students in metacognition, enabling them to connect professional experiences with theoretical frameworks effectively. It offers insights into practical applications of nursing theories, enabling students to devise innovative solutions to contemporary healthcare challenges. Pedagogical features include key terms for each chapter, learning objectives, reflection exercises to foster metacognizant learning, boxed callouts, and critical thinking case studies applied to simulated clinical scenarios.
This is an ideal text for advanced courses in nursing theory.
