This editorial presents eight concept analysis methods for use in nursing research and education. In addition to the two classical methods of Walker and Avant’s and Rodgers’ concept analysis approaches that are typically utilized in nursing ...

Concept analysis helps to update the knowledge framework about a concept, clarify the concept, and develop applicable guidelines for concept application through identifying the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of a concept. 19 Clarifying the concept of human caring is expected to help caregivers provide high-quality humanistic care to ...

A model case includes all the defining attributes, a related case represents a connection to the concept, and a contrary case is a clear example of when the concept is absent [27].

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.

4 recognize attributes of the concept; 5 ascertain the references, antecedents, and consequences of the concept, if possible; 6 identify concepts related to the concept of interest; and 7 generate a model case of the concept. The Table delineates these phases and provides an example of an abbreviated concept analysis.

A model case is a real-life example of the use of the concept that includes all critical attributes of the concept. The model case can come first, can be developed simultaneously with the attributes, or can emerge after the attributes are tentatively determined.

Similar to Step 5 in Walker and Avant's method of concept analysis in which a model case is presented, the researcher using Rodgers and Knafl's method of concept analysis provides an example of the concept in use in nursing.

and straightforward approach. The key proce-dures in a concept analysis include identifying all uses of the concept; determining the defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences; identifying a model case and additional cases that exemplify various aspects of the concept; and defining the empir

This method comprises eight systematic steps: select a concept, identify the purpose of the analysis, recognise all uses of the concepts, determine the defining attributes, develop a model case, identify borderline, contrary and related cases, identify antecedents and consequences, and state 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 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 ...

Concept analysis in nursing often uses the framework of Lorraine Olszewski Walker and Kay Coalson Avant. Preparing a a nursing concept analysis paper involves literature review, identifying key characteristics, identifying antecedents and consequences and apply them to a model case.

The concept analysis forms the basis of further research aiming to develop a healthcare explicit definition of compassion within healthcare, specifically cancer care and radiography practices.

Course Director: Hilary E. Davis Conceptual Analysis Techniques Stretching the Concepts: 1. Model Case A) Think of a concrete example which you are certain answers “yes” to the conceptual question. B) Explain why this is a good model case. (Do not define the concepts in this explanation.) C) Create a 2-column chart listing general characteristics of each concept. Minimum requirement is 5-6 ...

The concept analysis process includes eight steps of selecting a concept, determining the purpose of the analysis, identifying the applications of the concept, determining the defining attributes of the concept, identifying a model case, identifying related cases, borderline cases and contrary cases, identifying the antecedents and consequences ...

Using the concept analysis method described by Walker and Avant, along with an extensive literature review, and sample cases pertaining to family homelessness, we delineated the defining ...

This post will begin to overview some of the commonly used concept analysis methods and frameworks used in nursing theory and nursing research. An overview of Walker and Avant's 8-Step concept analysis method will be presented.
