Theory and Nursing by Peggy L Chinn
This fourth edition covers nursing theory from a conceptual perspective and provides a foundation for understanding the nature and development of nursing theory and its links with research and practice. Theory and theory development are presented in a manner that encourages critical thinking. In order to reflect current developments this text discusses and provides a brief synopsis of mid-range (practice-based) theories.
