Application to Pragmatic Adequacy
As a group, you will first select a practice theory or model:
Crisis emergencies for individuals with severe, persistent mental illness: A situation-specific nursing theory
Then, using Fawcett’s framework for theory evaluation (as discussed in Peterson & Bredow [2016], p. 43), you will discuss to what extent your selected practice theory or model meets the criterion of pragmatic adequacy. That is, how well the theory or model can be utilized in real-life situations, particularly clinical practice, by addressing the following:
- – State the theory or model your group chose and the reason(s) for its choice.
- – Describe the practice theory or model and define the main concepts of this theory.
