Nursing theory perspective in so much intertwined with theory of practice and therefore any discussion related to practice theory, it is discussion of theory of nursing. We must have it in mind that nursing in a practice profession. This takes us back to understand what nursing theory is and why it is extremely vital to development and nurture the development of nursing practice theory.
In nursing predication is not adequate but should be reinforced by prescription, specification and carrying out of activities that are planned to change a natural outcome to a desired outcome.
This simply means diseases occur naturally but they are removed or eliminated artificially. Perceptively, it is not only scientific knowledge that is needed, but expansive selection and adoption of various kinds of knowledge and understanding so as to give direction to a nursing activity within a particular situation, which may require its own specialized knowledge.
We must have it in mind that theory and practice operate in both directions and theory help in determining practice, but practice is itself very essential in developing theoretical concepts in nursing.
The origin and placement of theory stats with practicing nurses who are exceptionally excellent in their work through the combination of their knowledge experience, understanding and instinct perception. These are the qualities that of practice used to teach even nursing students how to develop similar skills and abilities. Through nurse’s practices, analysis of what they (nurses) do ideas are conceptualized and then develop to be tested, refined, practiced and taught.
