Nursing informatics is an emergent field of practice, as are the conceptual and theoretical frameworks that underpin research in this field of practice. In research, theoretical frameworks serve as structured roadmaps that connect various concepts and propositions in a field of study. Therefore, building theoretical frameworks in nursing informatics requires evaluating relevant knowledge from other disciplines that intersect with nursing informatics to justify its relevance and applicability. Fawcett's criteria provide feasible approaches for evaluating middle-range theory. Consequently, the prominent health program framework popularly referred to as the Donabedian Healthcare Quality Framework is significant to nursing informatics research and projects.
护理信息学是一个新兴的实践领域,其概念和理论框架也是如此,这些框架是该实践领域研究的基础。在研究中,理论框架是连接研究领域中各种概念和命题的结构化路线图。因此,在护理信息学中构建理论框架需要评估与护理信息学交叉的其他学科的相关知识,以证明其相关性和适用性。Fawcett 的标准为评估中级理论提供了可行的方法。因此,广受欢迎的健康计划框架,即通常所说的 Donabedian 医疗保健质量框架,对护理信息学研究和项目具有重要意义。
