The purpose here is to compare a broad nursing theory with a mid-range one. The work of J. Travelbee represents the broad nursing theory. That of K.M. Swanson addresses mid-range issues.

Concept of Community
[ send me this paper ]
In 4 pages, this paper discusses how the terms community and aggregate often are used interchangeably, and includes a discussion of whether a group constitutes a community or an aggregate illustrating that such use is not incorrect. Designing or evaluating nursing intervention efforts requires greater precision, however. The senior citizens at The Erie Center of Health and Aging form an appropriate aggregate within the local community of all senior citizens, but care for cancer or stroke patients can be much different than care or heart patients. These all form appropriate and legitimate aggregates of the larger population as well. All these patients share commonalities in the care that they need, but beneficial interventions also can greatly vary among these subgroups. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Conflict Management Between MDs and Nurse Practitioners
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper using the Kolb model to examine conflict assessment and management.

In today’s health care system as it currently exists, nurses not only have “more time” for direct patient interaction than do MDs, they also generally have greater motivation. The model presented here stresses communication and experimentation. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
