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 ...
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).
This article provides an operational definition of overcoming as a first step in the systematic analysis of the concept. Using the method described by Walker and Avant (2005), the authors identify the attributes and characteristics of overcoming and ...
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.
Learn how to use the Walker and Avant method to clarify the meaning of a concept for a chosen theory. The method involves eight steps, such as identifying the aims, uses, attributes, cases, and referents of the concept.
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.
Learn how to use the Walker and Avant method of concept analysis to examine and clarify the meaning of a concept. This method involves identifying the attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of a concept, and creating an invented case to explore it.
Nursing dictionary, Persian dictionary, research articles, journals and conferences articles, dissertations, thesis, books, and other sources related to the concept of research were investigated through search engines and available databases using the keywords of nursing, community-based, concept analysis and Walker and Avant from 1990 to 2023.
the terms: evidence, translating, and ability separately. To explore the meanings and uses of evidence translating abil-ity in the literature to arrive at an operational definition of the concept, Walker and Avant included four steps: (a) existing definitions and descriptions, (b) demonstrating cases, (c) an operational definition, and (d ...
This article reviews the concept analysis methodology developed by Walker and Avant (2011) and its applications in nursing practice and theory. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities of concept analysis in China and the need to develop nursing concepts with Chinese characteristics.
Methods Concept analysis was done using Walker and Avant’s 8‐step approach. Nursing dictionary, Persian dic‐ tionary, research articles, journals and conferences articles, dissertations, thesis, books, and other sources related to the concept of research were investigated through search engines and available databases using the keywords of nursing, community‐based, concept analysis and ...
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.
3 Methods This concept analysis follows Walker and Avant's (2019) eight-step guide, which offers a straightforward, pragmatic and recognised approach to concept analysis (Beecher et al. 2019).
Materials and Methods This study aimed to analyze and clarify the concept of poor care and determine its dimensions using Walker and Avant’s concept analysis approach in 2021. In this systematic approach, a concept is analyzed to achieve a better understanding.
Design Walker and Avant’s concept analysis method was used as a rigorous and systematic approach to identify descriptions, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of the concept of ‘ecological care’ in nursing. Ecological care is a widely applicable concept that extends beyond the confines of nursing care.
Method: Walker and Avant's eight-step concept analysis method is used to framework the analysis process with models, converses, boundaries, and related cases presented along with attributes, antecedents, and consequences.
Walker and Avant’s (2018) method was used to explore professional autonomy in nursing because it is iterative and helps construct an operational definition of a concept. Walker and Avant (2018) recommend using all available information sources to compile a complete inventory of the concept’s characteristics and uses (Table 1). Table 1.
Background Quality of life (QoL) is a common indicator of outcomes in people living with diabetes, but the concept of diabetes-related QoL (DRQoL) remains unclear. Clarifying core knowledge of DRQoL was the goal of this paper. Methods A concept analysis was conducted according to Walker and Avant’s framework. A systematic search of the published literature was conducted between 2002 and 2022 ...
In this paper we aim to advance the understanding of project stakeholder analysis by identifying contributions and inspirations from other fields. The stakeholder concept became well-known when Freeman, in his book Strategic management: a stakeholder approach (1984), suggested that the managerial view of the firm focusing on owners, suppliers, employees, and customers should be replaced by a ...
