Ramona Mercer’s Theory on Maternal Role Attainment
Ramona Mercer’s Theory on Maternal Role Attainment
My theory is by Ramona Mercer’s maternal role of attainment. And all sources need to be the following and I have attached my rubric for this assignment and also article that can be used as a source too. Please do not select research articles that test the theory, theory construction, a concept analysis or review of the literature articles. When you choose an article it may be quantitative or qualitative. See rubric for those specific details. for the theorist find the original work or as close as possible to the original work of the theorist. Why use a secondary source when you have an original source? Your textbook will not be accepted as source or any other nursing text. Noone & Young clearly state how they used a theory in guiding their qualitative study. Since some theories have only been used to guide qualitative work…..students have found this article helpful. QUALITATIVE Noone & Young 2009.pdf Please refer to the rubric on how to write about your research article depending on if they are quantitative or qualitative. – N5327 Exploration of Science and Theories for Nursing Theory Description and Evaluation Paper

(20 points) Application of Theory to Practice. Briefly discuss how the theory might be used to support nursing practice (clinical, education, or administration). Include in the discussion the purpose of the practice application and how the concept of interest might be operationally defined in practice. Provide an example of how you might use the theoretical and operational definitions of your concept of interest in your future practice or research. Include a potential practice question based on the propositions of your theory. (20 points) Theory Evaluation. Briefly discuss whether/how the theory appears to be accurate/valid (based on empirical testing of the theory as discussed above). Discuss generalizability of the theory. Summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the theory. Briefly discuss whether/how the theory is congruent with current nursing standards and current nursing interventions or therapeutics.
