Question Explanation
Strategies to Close Theory Practice Gap
In nursing, theory-practice gap has been a subject to numerous research studies. Various factors have been attributed to the wide theory-practice gap in nursing. One factor is theories being too idealistic, hindering their application in the nursing practice. Another factor is failure of nurses to apply nurse theories, even in situations where they have been proven to be effective and beneficial in enhancing patient’s outcomes (Brake, 2005). In spite of the limited application of theories in nursing practice, their application in practice has been found to enhance delivery of quality healthcare services to patients. This paper explores various strategies that could help in bridging the theory-practice gap in nursing.
