Philosophies and theories for advanced nursing practice

---

Philosophies and Theories for Advanced Nursing Practice, by Janie B. Butts and Karen L. Rich (editors), is an essential resource for advanced practice nurses and for students in graduate nursing programs, both DNP and master’s- level programs. The authors who contributed to this text are distinguished nursing and interdisciplinary scholars with expertise in theory.


ARRANGEMENT OF THE BOOK
There are 25 chapters that are presented in 5 parts:

• Part I: Foundations of Nursing Science
• Part II: The Structure and Function of Theory
• Part III: Interdisciplinary Philosophies and Theories
• Part IV: Select Nursing Models and Theories
• Part V: Tools for Integrating and Disseminating Knowledge in Advanced
Nursing Practice

The chapters in Parts I and II provide the foundation for philosophy of science, the development of nursing knowledge, and theory. Advanced practice nurses and nursing students can use Parts I and II as sequential building blocks for the information in Part V—theory evaluation, testing, and integrating, trans- lating, and disseminating evidence-based findings from research to practice.
Part III focuses on a selection of interdisciplinary philosophies and theories relevant for advanced practice. Part IV is a focus on select conceptual models, grand theories, and middle-range theories of nursing. Conceptual nursing models and grand nursing theories both bring advanced practice nurses a cer- tain reality of conceptual arrangements, theoretical variables, and propositions

used for deriving middle-range theory. Middle-range nursing theories derived from conceptual models and grand theories of nursing translate theory and research findings directly into practice.
