The extent to which theory and research were interrelated in 142 gerontologic nursing studies was examined using the Theory-Research Linkage Inventory, an instrument developed by the authors. Forty-six percent of the studies reviewed were related in varying degrees to a specific theory or model. Strengths and limitations were identified for the conceptual, empirical, and interpretive phases of the studies. However, the most problematic was the interpretive phase, where study findings and implications for practice should be linked to theory. Factors influencing the primarily unidirectional theory-research linkage are examined, and recommendations for the advancement of gerontologic nursing science are offered.
运用作者开发的理论 - 研究联系量表，对142项老年护理研究中理论与研究的关联程度进行了考察。在所审查的研究中，46%在不同程度上与特定理论或模型相关。研究确定了这些研究在概念、实证和解释阶段的优势与局限性。然而，最成问题的是解释阶段，即研究结果及对实践的启示应与理论相联系的阶段。本文考察了影响主要为单向的理论 - 研究联系的因素，并提出了推进老年护理科学发展的建议。
