Grand Nursing Theories

Grand theory (sometimes called broad-range theory) addresses wide areas of concern in a discipline. Because of their scope and level of abstraction, grand theories do not readily lend themselves to testing.

  1. Grand Theories Based on Human Needs
  2. Grand Theories Based on Interactive Process
  3. Grand Theories Based on Unitary Process
