What are the Levels of Nursing Theory?
Grand Theory = abstract/general in nature, and applies to all
aspects of nursing regardless of patient population, timing, and
setting (ex. Nightingale (healing environment) Orem (selfcare))
Mid-Range Theory: more specific in terms of concept(s) or
aspect of nursing than grand theory, still somewhat limited in
nature (ex. Benner (novice to expert); Kolcaba (comfort))
Practice Theory: very specific in nature...applies only to certain
clinical situation, patient population, timing, and/or setting (ex.
Leininger (transcultural nursing care)).
