Please Help! - Nursing Theory

Hi There Jayna, at first we were told we had to do a theory from topic 4 of our study guide which introduced 3 theories - Activities of Daily Living; Self Care; and Epidemiology (are these theories as such?),so I emailed him and asked if they were the actual theories he wanted us to critique and he has now come back and said that I may chose any nursing theory from any text book and critique it. Sorry if I seem a bit vague but have only just started reading this subject as I am doing 3 others at the moment. So I guess I just need to pick a theory and review it, well thats sort of how I understand it. I now wish I had started working on this particular subject earlier as I am struggling to grasp some of the concepts, though find it easier to work on one subject/assignment at a time. Thanks for your input it is much appreciated.

Cheers Tracy

Thanks to all of you who replied to me. I have chosen a nursing process theory by Ida Jean Orlando. It is a mid-range theory and doesnt seem too hard to follow. Just have to try and find more on it now. I have a few textbooks and have found one website which is ok so will just keep plodding. If anyone knows much about this particular theory, or about doing a critique on a theory any input would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Tracy
