Concept Analysis Paper –
Concept analysis is used to explore the meaning of a concept to further the
understanding of the concept. A research of the literature will help to define the
meaning of the concept.

Concept analysis is used to:
Identity gaps in nursing knowledge
Determine the need to refine or clarify a concept (a phenomenon of
interest); clarify the meaning of terms
Evaluate the adequacy of competing concepts
Determine the fit between the definition of the concept and its clinical
Application

Using the reading assignment (McEwen & Wills, Theoretical Basis for Nursing,
Unit III: Shared Theories Used by Nurses, Chapter 16: Theories, Models, and
Frameworks from Administration and Management), develop a concept analysis
paper.
Also, in the text (McEwen & Mills), see p. 58, Box 3-1, Steps in Concept Analysis.
This may offer some ideas as to how to structure your research efforts when you
write the paper

Also, consider:
Why is this concept important for nurses?
What are the different classifications and definitions that have been?
uncovered, and how are they used and measured?
What are the consequences for the nursing staff when a particular type of
leadership or management theory is used?
Include in your concept analysis paper:
An introduction
Background explaining the need for the analysis of the concept
A discussion of various forms of the concept selected, including
classifications, manifestations, and measurement of the concept, causes, and
consequences
Implications for nursing
Conclusion/Summary: Identify real conclusions, not just a summary/repetition
of the findings
References listed in APA format (a minimum of four references besides your
textbook)
The paper should be 7–8 pages long and based on a faculty-approved concept.
It should be typed in Times New Roman using 12-point font, and double-spaced
with 1\” margins. APA format (6th ed.) must be used, including a properly
formatted cover page and reference list. The proper use of headings in APA
format is also required.
