Chapter 8

The conceptual underpinnings of a study are known as its [blank_start]framework[blank_end]. Abstractions assembled because of their relevance to a core theme form a conceptual [blank_start]model[blank_end]. Another term for a schematic model is a conceptual [blank_start]map[blank_end]. A schematic model is a mechanism for representing [blank_start]concepts[blank_end] with a minimal use of words.

A [blank_start]description[blank_end] theory thoroughly accounts for or describes a phenomenon.

A theory that focuses on a specific aspect of human experience is sometimes called [blank_start]middle[blank_end]-range.

The four elements in conceptual models of nursing are

The originator of the Health Promotion Model is Nola [blank_start]Pendar[blank_end].

[blank_start]Parse[blank_end] is the originator of the Theory of Human Becoming.

[blank_start]Rogers[blank_end] is the originator of the Science of Unitary Human Beings.

[blank_start]Roy[blank_end] conceptualized the Adaptation Model of nursing.

A construct that was fully conceptualized by Bandura, and that is a key mediator in many models of health behavior, is self- [blank_start]efficacy[blank_end].

The Schematic model makes minimal use of language, uses concepts as building blocks, and can be used as a basis for generating hypotheses.

The conceptual model consists of interrelated concepts organized in a rational scheme but does not specify formal relationships among the concepts. Concepts can be used as building blocks and they can be used as a basis for generating hypotheses.

The classical theory incorporates a system of propositions that assert relationships among variables. It uses concepts as its building blocks and can be used as a basis for generating hypotheses.
