what is the relationship between a nursing theory and a professional practice model
Our Professional Practice Model, adapted from Hoffart and Woods (1996)1, contains the values, structures, and processes that support registered nurse control of the delivery of nursing care and the environment in which care is delivered. The center of the model is the patient and family.
Phenomena are identified from nursing practice. Nursing theories describe these phenomena or provide a framework to deal with these questions or problems. Nursing research is used to describe the phenomena or address the questions and problems. The results of nursing research are then applied to nursing practice.
