1. The document discusses literature reviews and theoretical frameworks, which are essential components of every research study. 2. A literature review identifies what is already known about the topic by reviewing primary and secondary sources. It establishes the need for further research by identifying gaps or inconsistencies in previous studies. 3. A theoretical or conceptual framework provides the rationale and organization for a study by defining key concepts and relationships between variables based on an existing theory or model. It guides the research design and analysis.

Literature reviews and Theoretical framework
What is literature review? Review of literature is one of the most important step in the research process. It is an account of what is already known about a particular phenomena. The main purpose of literature review is to convey to the readers about the work already done and the knowledge and ideas that have been already established on particular topic.
Literature Review What is the current state of knowledge on the question that I will be addressing? Develop an argument for a new study. Emergency nurses must deal with unpredictable events which may include death, violence, and overcrowding. However, little evidence has shown to identify factors that are associated with ED nurses 'demographics and work related characteristics contributing to their compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, and burnout. What are the factors that predict compassion satisfaction, burnout, and satisfaction at work?. Nurses characteristics factors? Environment factors?
Literature Review: types of information Primary sources (Original research) Journal articles Books Thesis Secondary sources, Why you may need to use it? summary and critique of primary studies Literature review Integrative review Conceptual analysis An in depth analysis of a problem

Points to be considered during conducting literature review: Be specific Be selective Focus on current topics Focus on sources of evidences Account of contrary evidences Reference citation Organization of literature review Referring original source Avoid abbreviations Simple and accurate sentence structure
Relevant concepts and variables reviewed. Primary or secondary sources. Gap or inconsistencies uncovered. Essential components of every study is reflected. Strengths, weakness, or limitations critique of every study included. Logical organization of literatures. Critique criteria:
Framework Framework is the conceptual rationale. Every study has a framework (justification) Foundation of a building Define the study concepts Types: Theoretical framework Conceptual framework (models)
1. Select Concepts: A concept is an image or symbolic representation of an abstract idea, e.g: health pain, intelligence 2. Identify the interrelationships among concepts (Logical propositions about the relations among the concepts). 3. Formulating clear definitions (Conceptual and operational definition). Some concepts are easily defined, e.g: BP; others are difficult, e.g: coping. 4. Formulating the theoretical rationale. Through L.R, theoretical connections between variables can identified and confirmed. How to develop theoretical framework or conceptual framework
Theory a system of logically interrelated, non-contradictory statements intended to tentatively explain some phenomena, formulated in such a way that testable hypotheses can be derived from them a set of logically interrelated constructs and propositions that present a systematic view of phenomena by specifying relationships among variables with the purpose of explaining or predicting the phenomena provides a point of view, determines what variables are important and what ones are not provides sources of problem statements and hypotheses which in turn determine appropriate research design, analysis of data and interpretation of results
Why theory is important Provides a point of view, (pre)determines what variables are important and what ones are not. Determines the natural of phenomena and the reason of its occurrence (predict). Provides sources of problem statements and hypotheses which in turn help determine best study design and analysis of data and interpretation of results (i.e. meaning) Develops nursing intervention
Borrowed theories? Shared Theories? Grand theory? Middle-range theory? Conjoining theories?
Testing theories Testing theory is about comparing between the observed results with what hypothesized. Theories and conceptual model might be discredited or revised. Hypotheses and theories cannot be confirmed or proven, no matter how much evidence .they may be falsified (Pedhazur & Schmelkin,1991, p:184). Theory testing studies: 1. logical deduction 2. design study avoiding any other explanation
Example: Kanters theory of structural empowerment It provides framework for understanding empowering workplaces and empowered employees.The theory posits that the role of management is to provide employees with the power tools that empower them to maximize their ability to accomplish their work in a meaningful way, thereby benefiting the organization as a whole (Kanter, 1993) The constructions of Kanters theory: 1. Power is an ability to mobilize resources and achieve goals. 2. Employees are empowered when they have access to information, support, resources, and opportunities to learn and grow in their work setting. 3. Formal and informal power influence empowerment, which in turns results in increased work effectiveness (Orgamb鱈dez-Ramos & Borrego-Al辿s, 2014)
Conceptual models (framework) It is less formal means of organizing phenomena. It is loosely structured It has abstract concepts that are brought together based on the relevance of common theme. It provides perspective regarding two or more than phenomena It is used to generate hypotheses.
Critique criteria: Assess the theory or model we are selecting. 1. Theoretical clarity 2. Theoretical complexity 3. Theoretical grounding 4. Appropriateness of the theory 5. Importance of theory 6. General issue

Editor's Notes

  1. Theories are built inductively from observations research is an excellent source of observation Concepts and relationships are validated through research which is the foundation for theory development
  2. Theories are created by anyone who is insightful has a firm grounding in existing evidence and has the ability to knit together evidence into an intelligible pattern. New theories replace old ones because the latter have been shown to be false..
  3. This theory which specify the nature of the relationship among the concepts, provide a framework for generating hypothesis
