The beginning of nursing theory development can be traced to Florence Nightingale
NURSING NOTES
the need to prepare nurses at graduate level for administrative and faculty positions was recognized. The Columbia University Teachers College developed graduate education programs and the 1st theoretical conceptualization came from the graduates of this program. They operated from a biomedical model that focused primarily on what nurses do, that is, their functional roles.
The Columbia School – the 1950’s
viewed nursing as a process rather than an end in itself. Their theories look at how nurses do what they do and how the patient perceives the situation..
The Yale School – the 1960s
decade that many nursing theories were first presented. Most of these theories have been revised since their original presentation.
the 1970s
many nursing theories were revised based on the research findings that expanded them.
1980s
Research studies that tested and expanded nursing theory were numerous.
1990s
efforts to understand the nature of the knowledge needed for the practice of nursing are evident from an emphasis on curricular content and the movement toward the goal of standardized curricula.
CURRICULUM ERA (1900-1940s)
Nursing procedures were taught and practiced in a ward-like room called
nursing arts laboratory.
this era emphasized scholarship and the need to disseminate research findings in scholarly publications. Many believed research was needed to generate the body of knowledge or science to form a basis for nursing practice.
RESEARCH ERA (1950 – 1970s)
nurses started to advance with doctorate programs from a wide range of related disciplines as they were being prepared for research and teaching roles in nursing. A series of conferences brought nurses together to exchange ideas and evaluate what had been learned in their doctorate programs in other fields that could address nursing knowledge - building needs.
Graduate Education Era (1950-1970s)
began with a strong emphasis on development. Proliferation of nursing literature and new nursing journals, national and international conferences, opening of new nursing doctoral program us the evidence of growth in this era.
Theory Era (1980 -1990s)
shift from theory development to theory application and utilization recognizes the importance of framework for critical thinking and decision – making in professional nursing practice.
Theory Utilization Era (21st century)
is a set of concepts and propositions that provide an orderly way to view phenomena.
