GRAND THEORY: HIV IN MINORITY POPULATION Introduction of the Framework

The conceptual framework used in the article is the Grand theory framework. The idea of using grand theory in this article is based on the aspect of the set of abstract ideas that together bring about a broad statement concerning human beings, the health, nursing, and the environment. Grand theory represents a broader scope of ideas in carrying out any form of study. The theory encompasses some concepts together with propositions with less abstract nature and generality unlike the concepts and propositions linked with the conceptual model. Nonetheless, even with such a perception, the model has not involved more concrete propositions and concepts like the middle-range theory (Olivia et al., 2013). The theory has been used by the study in this article in place of a conceptual model, which serves as a guide for carrying out research.

The article titled "Epidemiology, Policy, and Racial/Ethnic Minority Health Disparities," explores the need to identify examples of how epistemological studies and research has been induced in the process of reducing health disparities, especially the giving and treatment of patient minorities with HIV. The study is done in the United States of America, New Zealand, and Canada. Grand theory is practical in the study because it puts together many pieces of studies and knowledge concerning the effects of the minority influences and status on those affected by HIV (In Smith & In Parker, 2015).

How the framework guides the research project and relates to the instruments of the study

The grand theory acts as a framework that guides the study in everything it does. The theory is based on some factors that make it have a synchronized name with meaning inherent in its configuration and mastering of the way things are done in the study. The grand theory...

The data collected is somewhat supposed to be used in different ways. Every data collected from the field has to be made instrumental in the study. The data collected must suit and bring much of the intention of the study while seeking to know more about the integration of the different forms of realizations from the field (Kearney-Nunnery, 2016).
The framework guides the study to become stationed and distinct at its objectives and intentions set prior the study. The framework explores and brings out what is likely to be realized in the case that particular principles and guidelines are followed to the latter. What is more significant with the grand study is that it is an explanation of how several parts are put together to form a single body with a particular meaning, certainly intended by the study. Therefore, it is quite instrumental to say that the study framework is used to bring the study into focus, making it realistic even at the phase of being virtual. In doing this, the pursuant of the study will be able to figure out what is important to the study, what can be done or what needs to be done, and the final aspects that have to be put together to make meaning of the study.

Grand theory explores on the immediate activities and occurrences in the field, somewhat like any other research design. Nonetheless, its aim of the variances in the meaning of the data collected is put together with a new meaning developed in support of the evidence provided. Thus, the study conceptual framework has acted as a design and framework of formulating new facts and features representative of the study and alienated to the study objectives and goals. With the use of this study conceptual framework, much light is shed on the outcomes of the study even before the study is engaged (Olivia et al., 2013). In the article studied. Much of the minorities…
