Introduction 

The introduction substantively presents all the following elements: Identifies the role of concept analysis within theory development. Identifies the selected nursing concept. Identifies the nursing theory that addresses the selected concept. Names the sections of the paper. Scholarly support is required.

Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing concept

This section includes:Defines/explains the concept using scholarly literature (a  dictionary maybe used for this section ONLY, and additional scholarly  nursing references are required). A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required.Literature review

Defining attributes, for this section: 

A minimum of THREE (3) attributes are required. A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required

Explanation:  An attribute identifies characteristics of a  concept.  For this situation, the characteristics of the selected  nursing concept are identified and discussed.

Antecedent and Consequence

This section requires the identification of:

1 antecedent of the selected nursing concept.

1 consequence of the selected nursing concept. A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required.

Explanation: 

An antecedent is an identifiable occurrence that  precedes an event.  In this situation, an antecedent precedes a  selected nursing concept. A consequence follows or is the result of an  event.  In this situation a consequence follows or is the result of the  selected nursing concept.

1 Contrary Case is created by the student that  demonstrates the opposite of the selected nursing concepts. All  identified attributes of the concept are absent in this cas

Explanation:  Borderline case is a created case where one or two  of the previously identified attributes are missing. Contrary case is a  created case that demonstrate the complete opposite of the selected  nursing concept – all identified attributes are missing.

Theoretical Applications of the Concept
