Creating a Concept Map

This Assignment, provides an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the conceptual components of a
theory. Building on this week’s Discussion, you will build a concept map to express the linkages and
interrelationships of the concepts in the middle range theory you have selected.
To prepare:
Explore the various concept maps presented in Chapter 7 of The Practice of Nursing Research, as well as the
Cooper and Veo articles.
Using the information presented in the Learning Resources as a guide, consider the linkages and
interrelationships of the conceptual concepts for the theory you identified for this week’s Discussion. What
relational statements could be articulated?
Post
Create a concept map demonstrating the linkages and interrelationships of the theoretical concepts. Include a
clear problem and purpose statement. Express relational statements linking the concepts, literally and
diagrammatically. You may use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or another software application of your choice;
however, if you use a product that is not part of the Microsoft Office Suite, you must be able to save it as a PDF
or RTF file.
Include references from the literature to support your work.
