Discuss the relationship between theory and research in nursing.
Using the readings from McEwen and Wills (2014) chapter 19: application of theory in nursing research, address the following for your first discussion post:
Conduct a library search for a peer-reviewed journal article that integrates nursing theory and research. (I’m looking for a research study that employs a nursing theory, not an editorial-style article.)
Present the article and discuss how the nursing theory was integrated, as well as the benefits of nursing theory in nursing research. (Please attach the article to your initial discussion post.)
Discuss the relationship between theory and research in nursing.
Make sure to include personal and professional experiences in your conversation.
