“…Using her recommendations, the textbooks consulted gave the interpretations, definitions and organizations of the template. Apart from this, Paley (1996) stated that concepts must be defined in relation to a theory, which was not done in this study. Instead, the concepts treatment goal, treatment intervention and effect or outcome of treatment have been defined using concept analyses (Walker and Avant, 1995) in the context (Miles and Huberman, 1994) of occupational therapy textbooks.…”

“…All documentation requires that the definitions of words, terms and concepts shall be based on scientific evidence and be uniform, if they are to be used correctly in clinical practice and research (Creek, 1990;Paley, 1996). A concept is understood as a mental image of a thing or an action and is helpful in identifying and categorizing events (Walker and Avant, 1995).…”

Abstract:The objective of this study was to construct a coding schema for analysing the occupational therapy process, often described as formulating the treatment goal, implementing treatment and evaluating the effect of treatment. The concepts underlying the terms treatment goal, treatment intervention and effect or outcome of treatment, as used in occupational therapy, were defined and an analytical template of questions was constructed, using the analysis method designed by Walker and Avant (1995)

RESUmoO arcabouço teórico da ciência da enfermagem constrói-se em um processo dinâmico que tende a nascer da prática e que se reproduz na pesquisa, especialmente por meio da análise e do desenvolvimento de conceitos e teorias. O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma reflexão teórica sobre a construção do conhecimento em enfermagem e apontar subsídios para futuras pesquisas na área. A inter-relação entre a teoria, a pesquisa e a prática clínica é necessária para a continuidade do desenvolvimento da enfermagem como profissão e como ciência. Idealmente, a prática deve ser baseada nas teorias que são validadas pela pesquisa. Assim, teoria, pesquisa e prática afetam-se de maneira recíproca e contínua. dEScRitoRES Teoria de enfermagem Formação de conceito Filosofia em enfermagem Pesquisa em enfermagem Nursing concepts and theoriesTheoreTical STudy AbStRActThe theory framework of nursing science is built in a dynamic process that arises from practice and is reproduced through research, mainly by analysis and development of concepts and theories. This study presents a theory reflection on nursing knowledge construction and points out subsidies for future studies in the area. The interrelation among theory, research, and clinical practice is required for continuous development of nursing as a profession and science. Ideally, the practice must be based on theory that is validated by research. Therefore, theory, research, and practice affect each other reciprocally and continuously. dEScRiPtoRSNursing theory Concept formation Philosophy, nursing Nursing research RESUmENEl marco teórico de la ciencia de enfermería se construye en un proceso dinámico, que suele nacer de la práctica y que se reproduce en la investigación, especialmente a través del análisis y el desarrollo de conceptos y teorías.

“…If nursing is to benefit from concept analysis, then identification of where that concept lies within a theoretical framework is needed; this will allow for operationalization of the concept's definition as it applies to the nursing field (Paley 1996). Therefore, the concept of forgetfulness in the older adult evokes the question, 'What role do nurses have in applying the knowledge derived from this analysis?'…”

Forgetfulness and older adults: concept analysis

Title. Forgetfulness and older adults: concept analysis. Aim. This paper is a report of an analysis of the concept of forgetfulness as it applies to older adults. Background. Perceived increases in forgetfulness cause much distress for older adults due to the stigma associated with memory loss and dementia. The difference between forgetfulness in a healthy ageing state and memory loss associated with cognitive impairment requires clarification for nurses involved in screening and caring for older adults. Data sources. Literature for this concept analysis was obtained by searches of CINAHL, EMBASE and Internurse covering the years 1962-2009, as well as gerontology textbooks. Review methods. The evolutionary method of Rodgers was the framework for the concept analysis. Results. As we age there is a slight increase in occasions of forgetfulness (particularly remembering to do things in the near future) that can be offset by limiting distractions and enhancing focus. This is contrasted with forgetfulness patterns, also more likely as we age, that are indicative of disease processes. Older adults' awareness of their own forgetfulness has the potential to cause fear, embarrassment, anger and/or low self-esteem. Conclusion. It is important to avoid labelling or dismissal of concerns related to forgetfulness in older adults. Further research, with an emphasis on the choice of assessment tool, is recommended to investigate the benefits of nurse-led population screening for memory deficits in older adults. Nurses require training in assessment of memory and access to adequate referral pathways if abnormal results are uncovered.
