NURSING
Theoretical Basis for Nursing,
4th Edition
M. McEwen, E. Wills
Easy to read without diluting the complexity of the content, this acclaimed book
focuses on the application of theory, while helping them build skills they will use in
developing, analysing, and evaluating theory in their future career.
The book covers “shared” theories (from other disciplines in the sociologic,
behavioral, and biomedical sciences); organises grand theories based on human
needs, the interactive process, and the unitary process; and demonstrates
applications of theory in nursing practice, nursing research, nursing administration
and management, and nursing education.

Theoretical Nursing: Development and Progress,
5th Edition
A. Meleis
This text is a comprehensive developmental and historical review of nursing
theory which provides a contemporary analysis of the evolution of nursing and
represents the degree to which many scholars view the focus and mission of
nursing as a discipline through the development of its theoretical base.
Chapters provide readers with different frameworks that shape the nature, the
scope, and the mission of nursing care. Theoretical Nursing offers stimulating
content that highlights the forces that are driving nursing care, education,
research, and administration. The book presents practical perspectives that help
the scholar to develop analytic skills and integrate knowledge into a coherent
whole.
