Student needs to know about theoretical framework

Published

Specializes in Psych.

:cry:

I am back in school and I need to locate a theoretical framework for my proposed community program paper. The instructor says one of Virginia Henderson's would work. Class is once a week and we have not covered the research of locating a framework. Any ideas where I can start? I need a basic review of a framework to give a rationale why I used it.
