In contrast, Walker’s and Avant analysis method articulates that the concept may differ according to theoretical context. It means that the nature of the concept will be changed according to the context in which it is used (Arabi et al., 2014).
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.
A brief concept analysis of “spirituality” using the Walker and Avant's method is provided to guide the reader through the basic steps. Performing concept analyses using established, well-respected methods such as those presented in this article lends credibility to the end-product.
Concept Analysis Method Walker and Avant’s concept analysis method (2019) was used to analyze the concept of treatment adherence. It has eight steps to capture the essence of the analysis process: (1) select a concept, (2) determine the aims or purposes of the analysis, and (3) identify all uses of the concept that can be discovered.
