Middle Range Theories
Middle range theories are among the most commonly used theories in research alongside grand theories. This capstone project seeks to examine whether the use of a multidisciplinary approach helps to decrease readmissions within 30 days of newly diagnosed patients with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). The middle range theory that will be applied on nursing research for this project is the Core, Care and Cure Theory, which was developed by Lydia Eloise Hall. This theory suggests that core, care, and cure are interconnected though they vary depending on the patient’s condition (Cosejo, 2018). This theory identified the core as the individual or patient receiving nursing care based on his/her own goals while the cure is the attention provided to patients by clinical professionals and care is the primary role of a professional nurse. Core, Care and Cure Theory suggests that these three components work together toward promoting the health of a patient (Hall, 2012).
The use of this theory in this capstone project is influenced by the fact that it provides a holistic approach and perspective of nursing process. Through this theory, the project will be examined based on how these three interrelated elements integrate to help decrease readmission of newly diagnosed CHF patients. This theory is appropriate for the project because it will help determine the holistic needs and practices of nurses and patients (Leocadio, 2010). A critical aspect of promoting the health and wellbeing of patient populations is identifying patients’ needs and developing nursing practices that would help address this need. When applying this theory in the capstone project, the holistic needs of newly diagnosed Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) patients and develop nursing practices to decrease their readmission.
Discussion Question: How does middle range theories differ from other theories in nursing research and nursing practice?

The respondents who step out to be part of the research process should be protected from any unwanted intrusion or any other form of personal or group harassment (Smith & Liehr, 2008). It is formal to have and conduct nursing research according to the set ethical frameworks where the entire review of the proposal will be undertaken. Whether to be undertaken by the staff or students, this research should be
Range Nursing Theory A clinical nurse is generally involved with specialized research; for example, a clinical nurse specializing in oncology would likely be heavily involved in the treatment of patients with cancer, according to Andrea Santiago. That clinical nurse specialist (CNS) working with cancer patients may also create helpful protocols or other strategies to improve the delivery of services in a hospital (Santiago, 2013). This paper delves into the reasons

Trancedence Theory Middle Range Theory of Self Transcendence There are several nursing-related theories and these have the function of explaining, evaluating and applying the field in order to enhance quality of treatment. These theories are divided into three classes; low rang theories, middle age theories and grand theories. All these classes each have their specialized roles towards the improvement of the nursing practice dependent on the various treatment types they are concerned
Interdisciplinary Theory Evaluation Middle range and interdisciplinary theories can significantly inform clinical practice. This is particularly true for Alberta Bendura's self-efficacy theory and Sister Callista Roy's adaptation model. This paper evaluates the applicability of the two models in breast cancer care. First, a description of breast cancer is provided. Next, the two theories are summarized. Attention is then paid to critical evaluation of the two theories. Finally, the most appropriate
