NUR 5013- Nursing Science
Theory Integration in Practice Presentation Criteria &Rubric
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a plan to integrate a selected nursing or shared theory into an aspect of your practice. The theory may be from nursing or outside of nursing and should guide understanding of factors and/or process related to the practice situation, patient population, and/or practice problem. Provide rationale for all sections – rationales can be placed on the slide(s) or verbalized in the presentation narration. Presentation guidelines are below. Maximum time limit is 15 minutes.
Outline for Audio PowerPoint or Media Presentation Number of Slides Points Possible
1. Title Slide. 1 slide —
2. The Practice Situation: Identify the practice situation, patient population with specific needs, or practice problem. 2-3 slides 10
3. Theory: 5-8 slides
a. Identify a nursing or shared theory that currently guides or would provide guidance in the practice situation, patient population, or practice problem 10
b. Examine the goal of the theory and compare (apply) it to the outcomes or goals of the practice situation, patient population, or practice problem. 10
c. Explain how the context of the theory is congruent with the practice situation. Examine the theory to determine context for application and relationship to the practice situation, patient population, or practice problem. 10
d. Compare and contrast the theory variables (concepts) and variables in your practice situation, patient population, or practice problem. 10
e. Demonstrate expert judgment about nursing actions that are implied or explicit within the theory and how well the nursing actions will work in your situation. 5
4. Plan for Practice Theory Integration: 5-8 slides
a. Discuss a plan for a project to address the patient population, practice situation, or practice problem. Plan should include: 1) at least two measurable outcome objectives, (10 points) 2) specific strategies indicating who, what, where, when, how the plan would be implemented, (10 points)
3) how the outcomes would be evaluated. (10 points) 30

Introduction to the selected nursing theory: Comfort Theory by Katharine Kolcaba
Slide 4: Theory – Goal of the Theory
Explain the goal of Comfort Theory
Compare the theory’s goal to the outcomes or goals of the practice situation
Slide 5: Theory – Context for Application
Explain how the context of Comfort Theory is congruent with the practice situation
Explore the relationship between the theory and the patient population
Slide 6: Theory – Variables in Comfort Theory
Identify and explain the key variables (concepts) in Comfort Theory
Compare and contrast the theory variables with variables in the practice situation
Slide 7: Theory – Nursing Actions in Comfort Theory
Discuss nursing actions implied or explicitly stated in Comfort Theory
Evaluate the effectiveness of these nursing actions in the practice situation
Slide 8: Plan for Practice Theory Integration – Introduction
Introduce the plan for a project to address the practice situation
Emphasize the importance of integrating Comfort Theory
