Walker & Avant’s approach to concept analysis was performed in eight stages: choosing a concept, determining the purpose of analysis, identifying all uses of the concept, defining attributes, identifying a model case, identifying borderline, related, and contrary cases, identifying antecedents and consequences, and defining empirical referents.

The model case demonstrates all of the defining attributes of the concept while the borderline case contain most but not all of them. This helps to more fully articulate the concept’s meaning. The final contrary case is a clear example of what the concept is not (Walker & Avant, 2005). Model Case and Analysis

Borderline case: contains some of the critical attributes but not all of them; Related case: related to the concept but does not contain the critical attributes; Contrary case: not the concept; Invented case: constructed, but not existing in real life; Illegitimate case: concept in another context; Identify antecedents and consequences.

Constructing borderline, related, contrary, invented, and illegitimate cases allows one to clarify what the concept is like, what the concept is similar to, but is not (except in the invented case). Borderline case. A borderline case is an example of the use of the concept in which some of but not all the critical attributes are present.

-provide only the model, borderline, related, and contrary cases for the paper borderline case: some (but not all) of the defining attributes of the concept are present; need to contain between 1 and 5 of those attributes contrary case: none of the defining attributes are present - if a particular concept was shown to have 6 defining attributes ...

To further contrast the chosen concept against other closely associated concepts, the researcher constructs borderline, related, and contrary cases to fulfill Step 6. Step 7 involves identifying antecedents (those things that happen before) and consequences (those things that happen after or as a result of) of the concept.

This article reports a concept analysis of eHealth, a term that lacks operational clarity in nursing practice. The analysis identifies four attributes of eHealth and proposes a definition that is unique to nursing.

A model case is defined as “an example of the use of the concept that demonstrates all the defining attributes of the concept” (Walker ;amp; Avant, 2011, p. 163). In addition to the model case exemplar, the attributes of patient advocacy will be defined and challenged through case examples of borderline, related, and contrary cases.

The Walker and Avant framework is a systematic approach for conducting a concept analysis, and it involves eight steps: (1) selecting a concept; (2) determining the purpose of the analysis; (3) identifying all uses of the concept; (4) determining the defining attributes; (5) constructing a model case; (6) constructing a borderline and contrary ...

The eight steps of concept analysis proposed by Walker and Avant included the following: (a) selecting a concept; (b) determining the purpose of the analysis; (c) identifying all uses of the concept; (d) determining the concept’s defining attributes; (e) identifying a model case; (f) identifying a borderline case and related, contrary ...

The borderline case has been illustrated by possessing some of the attributes of the concept of interdependence but not all of the attributes. 5.2 Contrary case According to Walker and Avant [2] , “contrary cases are clear examples of ‘not the concept’” and were described as cases that meet none of the attributes of the concept (p. 166).

Using the Walker and Avant (2005) method, dictionaries, thesauruses, and current nursing literature are studied for meanings, usages, and attributes. Model, borderline, and contrary cases are also presented. CONCLUSIONS. Intended as a preliminary exploration of nursing care, this work serves as the foundation for further study of the concept.

The concept analysis process includes eight steps of selecting a concept, determining the purpose of the analysis, identifying the applications of the concept, determining ... Identifying borderline cases helps to clarify the attributes that are a basic prerequisite for model cases and reduces ambiguity in the boundaries between items. 13 The ...

6. Borderline Case. A borderline case exemplified a scenario that contained some of the defining attributes of the concept . For example, Carter and Attel described differentiating between Crohn’s disease and lactose intolerance. Carter and Attel accurately explained the differences between the food allergy lactose intolerance, food ...

Once those steps are completed, a model case is constructed and may be followed by a borderline case, related case, contrary case, invented case, and illegitimate case. For the purposes of this concept analysis, model and contrary cases were included for comparison and contrast of the selected concept. These cases help clarify what the concept ...

The Walker and Avant concept analysis method was used to analyze the data, identify the defining attributes of meaningfulness, develop contrary, borderline, and model cases, and identify its antecedents and consequences. Results: The search revealed extensive use of the terms ‘meaningfulness’ and ‘meaningful’ within the chronic
