Introduction Endless debates regarding how to merge theory and practice have characterized the relationship between theory and practice (Chapman & Clegg, 2007). Indeed, the territory that straddles the murky waters between theory and practice has gripped the attention of industry experts and observers who constantly want to improve their practice by eliminating this gap (Wilson, 2008). Nursing has perennially suffered from the gap between theory and practice. Educationists, theorists, and practitioners have proposed different strategies for eliminating this gap. This paper highlights them as a conscious effort to increase the scope of tools for nurses to use in bridging this gap. Proposed Strategies Change of Model According to Rolfe (1993), it is difficult to fill the gap between theory and practice without reevaluating the nature of the relationship between the two. He proposed this strategy after evaluating different learning concepts of teaching and other practice-based disciplines. By doing so, he proposed that people should replace the traditional conception of theory as an agent for informing and controlling practice with a more progressive relationship that views theory and practice as two mutually enhancing models (Rolfe, 1993). Through this extraction, theory can inform future practice, thereby bridging the gap between the two. Use of Evidence-Based Practice Ferrara (2010) says that integrating evidence-based practice with educational theory is the best way to bridge the theory-practice gap in nursing. Here, she says incorporating teaching strategies with nursing practices would help to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Proponents of this strategy say that some instructors have managed to realize positive outcomes in doing so by using constructivism (as a teaching practice) to improve their nursing experiences (Ferrara, 2010). The success of this strategy stems from the ever-changing context of best practice because what could be the best practice today could not be the best practice tomorrow. Since new knowledge emerges rapidly, using evidence-based practice to merge theory and practice helps to make better clinical decisions, thereby filling the theory-practice gap. Theory-Nursing gap – An Opportunity for Debate Sellman (2010) implies that the gap between theory and practice is not a problem, but rather an opportunity for practitioners and theorists to engage in dialogue that could improve their different areas of specialization and reduce the insularity between the two. Therefore, Sellman (2010) believes that debating the gap would help in bridging the gap between the two. Allowing Increased Freedom and Autonomy In a study to investigate the nature of the gap between theory and practice, Wilson (2008) found that allowing increased freedom and autonomy in the nursing workplace (though daunting) is an effective way of bridging the gap between theory and practice. He argued that accommodating freedom in practice allows more room for nurses to implement different practice preferences, which in turn, gives room for nurses to adopt different theoretical preferences in their practice (Wilson, 2008). For example, allowing nurses more room for the net
