Part one

For the theory that you have selected  to do your theory paper on, you will be using it for this discussion board. You will be analyzing a few components of the theory. 

The theory is Toward a Praxis of Suffering. Janice Morse.

Find a research article that uses the theory AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.You can use this for your paper.

It must be a research article. See Module two for an overview of  research articles. 

POST A PDF OF YOUR ARTICLE: WE NEED THE ACTUAL ARTICLE NOT THE LINK

INCLUDE A VERY BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY

1. What is the purpose of the theory? 
2.   What are the main concepts in the theory?  3. Are they operationally defined? Theoretically defined? 4. Does the theory contribute to the discipline of nursing? 

Theoretical and operational definitions. For that chosen concept, write theoretical and operational definitions. You can find it in the article. If it is not explicitly written , then you have to surmise what  it  is based on article.

If  the study is qualitative you have to determine  how the researcher used the theory to generate the interview questions and based on the results how you would ope rationalize the concept (since there is no operational definition in a qualitative study).
