Middle Range Theories,
4th Edition
Sandra Peterson and Timothy Bredow
A complete and detailed book focused on middle range theories. The text
examines theories and their applications in clinical nursing research and practice.
In this fourth edition, the change of the subtitle to Application to Nursing
Research and Practice better reflects the dynamic relationship between theory,
research, and practice with an increased emphasis on applications of middle
range theories to practice. The authors provide expert advice on selecting the
appropriate theory for a nursing research project and developing the critical
thinking skills needed to critique theories. Every theory chapter includes
examples of the theories and ways they are used in research, as well as sample
applications, and critical thinking exercises.
