Nursing Theories and Models by Hugh Mckenna

Nursing Theories and Models by Hugh Mckenna

Hugh McKenna bridges the gap between theory and practice and demystifies much of the confusing terminology surrounding nursing theory. Includes step-by-step guidelines on how to analyse concepts and select, apply and test theories in practice.

'This book would be an excellent teaching resource and an excellent textbook for student nurses..should be in every nursing library and on every nurse's bookshelves.' - Roger Watson, University of Edinburgh, in the Journal of Advanced Nursing

'Offers much of interest to nurses not simply as an analysis of a topic fundamental to the profession of nursing but also as an example of a careful, scholarly exlploration of a large and complex subject area. It is a pleasure to read such a comprehensive and clearly expressed review...any nurse with an interest in the basic values and philosophy of the nursing professions will be rewarded by the study of this book. I would anticipate that nurse educators will value this British contribution to the continuing development of nursing.' - Journal of Nursing Management

'Well-written, informative and indulges in critical debate throughout ... I would recommend this book to undergraduate and post-graduate students of nursing, and also all those current practitioners, managers and academics whose scepticism of nursing theory has been shaped for the want of a good-quality critique on the subject.' - Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing

Hugh McKenna is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health Sciences and Education at the University of Ulster
