Problematic and meaningful situations in nursing interpreted by concepts from King's nursing theory and four additional concepts.

ABSTRACT There is an increasing interest to understand nursing. One way is through nursing theories. As a theory can be rather abstract there is a risk that the distance between theoretical nursing and nursing practice will increase. In a research project nurses decided to choose King's theory of nursing as a means to understand nursing. Descriptions of problematic and meaningful nursing situations were labelled with concepts from King's theory. King's theory of nursing seems to be a useful but not a comprehensive tool for the understanding of nursing. Additional concepts have to be used to make possible the labelling of all described situations.
