Nursing Assignment: Concept Analysis
A concept analysis is an exercise designed to help a researcher become as familiar as possible with a concept. For the purposes of nursing, a concept might be related to health, managed care, or a variety of other topics. Common concepts analyzed in nursing are things such as pain, ischemia, mobility, trust, empowerment, family support, self-management, etc. A concept analysis is the first step in communicating meanings, understandings and feelings.
