The application of theory to practice is multifaceted. It requires a nursing theory that is compatible with an institution's values and mission and that is easily understood and simple enough to guide practice. Comfort Theory was chosen because of its universality. The authors describe how Kolcaba's Comfort Theory was used by a not-for-profit New England hospital to provide a coherent and consistent pattern for enhancing care and promoting professional practice, as well as to serve as a unifying framework for applying for Magnet Recognition Status.
理论在实践中的应用是多方面的。它需要一种与机构的价值观和使命相契合、易于理解且足够简单以指导实践的护理理论。选择舒适理论是因其具有普遍性。作者描述了新英格兰一家非营利性医院如何运用科尔卡巴的舒适理论，来提供一个连贯且一致的模式，以加强护理并促进专业实践，同时作为申请磁石认可地位的统一框架。
