  1. Nursing Theory: An Exploration of Merle Mishel’s Uncertainty in Illness Theory UNC School of Nursing, 2014 Ferris State University NURS 501 Introduction to Advanced Nursing Roles Marcie Chenette, Mariah Lab, Brandi Miller, & Tamara Putney Bailey & Stewart, 2010

  2. Objectives • Provide an overview of Mishel’s theory of uncertainty in illness • Discuss the metaparadigm concepts • Analyze the theory • Use a research example to apply theory • Explore the usefulness of the theory Carper, 1978 Dudley-Brown, 1997 Singleterry, 2014

  3. Theory OverviewOriginal 1988 Theory Bailey & Stewart, 2010 Mishel, 1981 Mishel, 1988

  4. Theory OverviewReconceptualized 1990 Theory Bailey & Stewart, 2010 Mishel, 1990

  5. Metaparadigm Concepts Mishel, 1990 Mishel, 1999 Mishel, 2014

  6. Analysis of the Theory • Accuracy • Applicable to nursing today • Multiple patient populations • Verified through testing • Simplicity/Complexity • Antecedents are clear • Appraisal process is complex • Coping phase is complex • Functional with tools Bailey & Stewart, 2010 Dudley-Brown, 1997 Mishel, 1999

  7. Analysis of the Theory • Scope • Middle-range theory • Broad and generalizable • Acceptability • Nursing community • Testability • Sociocultural Utility • Cultures • Demographics • Diagnoses Bailey & Stewart, 2010 Mishel, 1999 UNC School of Nursing, 2014 Wright, Afari, & Zautra, 2009

  8. Research Article • Outcomes of an uncertainty management intervention • Purpose • Intervention • Method • Findings • Conclusion and implications Germino et al., 2013

  9. Theory Reflection • Purpose: • Appropriate interventions decrease uncertainty • Hypothesis: • Less uncertainty • Better uncertainty management • Fewer concerns • More positive psychological outcomes • Methods: • Theory derived scales • Designed to address antecedents of uncertainty Germino et al., 2013

  10. Implications of Framework • With no theoretical framework: • Uncertainty concepts would lack clarity and measurability • No existing knowledge to compare • Study less meaningful • Germino et al., 2013 • University of Southern California, 2013

  11. Implications of Framework • Framework based on nursing theory • Appropriateness • Clear conceptual definitions • Guided by propositional statements • Operational definitions provided • Study findings support framework • Germino et al., 2013 • Nieswiadomy, 2012

  12. Theory in Practice • Operating room management • Uncertainty related to post-operative symptoms • Pre- and post-operative education can decrease uncertainty • Nursing clinical instruction • Easy to teach and widely applicable • Valuable tool for care planning

  13. Theory in Practice • Hospital telemetry unit • Uncertainty predicts depression in female heart failure patients • Nurses can design gender-specific interventions • Hospital critical care unit • Laryngectomy patients experience fear and traumatic thoughts • Appropriate interventions can assist in coping and relaxation Kao et al., 2013

  14. Link Between Theory & Practice • Empirics • Esthetics • Personal knowledge • Ethics Carper, 1978

  15. Link Between Theory & Practice • Interactions with people are never the same • Nursing knowledge is unique • Carper’s patterns of knowing help distinguish relationships of phenomena seen in practice • State of health is in constant flux • Article shows treatments must be holistic and approached from many angles to be effective • Carper, 1978 • Fiandt, Forman, Megel, Pakieser, & Burge, 2003 • Germino et al., 2013

  16. Conclusion • Theory overview • Abbreviated analysis • Use in research • Use in practice • Link between unique nursing knowledge and nursing practice
