Infos

Nursing theories from the 1950-1970s may not fully address the complexities of today's healthcare environment, as they are often content and context-specific. With the rise of Evidence-based Practice (EBP), staff nurses are expected to lead quality improvement and practice changes, aligning with Micro-systems Theory and the American Nurses' Credentialing Center's Magnet Recognition Program. However, nurses typically learn nursing theory only in undergraduate and graduate programs, without exposure to change theories, quality improvement models, or EBP/translation theories from other fields like psychology and education. This book offers a concise overview of education, communication, and quality improvement theories that are practical and valuable for clinical practice. Each chapter provides a summary of these theories and supporting evidence for their use in practice, education, and research. Although written from a nursing perspective, the book is beneficial for any healthcare professional working in clinical, educational, or research settings.
