Middle-range theories Theories that look at a piece of reality and that contain clearly defined variables in which the nature and direction of relationships are specified
Nursing Theory A specific and concrete set of concepts and propositions that accounts for or characterizes phenomena of interest to the discipline of nursing
Practice theories Theories that are more specific than middle-range theories and that produce specific directions or guidelines for practice
