Abstract

Several literature reviews forewarned that theory evaluation and the use of nursing theories are unfortunately declining within the discipline. In this article, a French-Canadian conceptual model of nursing is described, then critiqued based on Chinn and Kramer's method of theoretical evaluation. Five documents were read iteratively as a means to identify the purposes, concepts, definitions, relationships, structure, and assumptions of this conceptual model. Then, as suggested by Chinn and Kramer, its clarity, simplicity, generality, accessibility, and importance are discussed. The conclusion summarizes the main results of the evaluation and its implications for the future refinement of the conceptual model.
