Cross-post: Many other disciplines outside of nursing have developed theories that are helpful in resolving healthcare issues. These are called interdisciplinary theories. For example, the theory of planned behavior was developed by psychologists to predict human behavior. This might be applicable to questions about medication adherence in nursing. Another example is systems theory. Systems theory is an interdisciplinary study of the dynamics of parts within a larger organization. You see how this theory might be helpful in implementing EBP in nursing. Below are some examples of commonly used interdisciplinary theories in nursing research:
Theory of Planned Behavior
Systems Theory
Vulnerable Populations Model
Theory of Self-Care Management for the Vulnerable
Purnell’s Model for Cultural Write a discussion paper on health and Medicine
Social Learning Theory
Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development
Critical Social Theory
For your Cross Post: Read your colleagues initial posts about their DSP findings and the middle range theory used. Respond to one peer and suggest an interdisciplinary theory that would apply to the same topic and discuss how it might structure another project. Include at least one peer-reviewed, scholarly reference. Since this is theory we’re discussing, the article does not need to be current. Word count: 200 or less.
