What is theory, and how does it shape research? Most research is based on a theoretical framework. Theoretical frameworks, also known as “conceptual frameworks” or “models,” are used in nursing research to provide a structure for organizing and understanding the research problem and to guide the research design and analysis. Theoretical frameworks are shaped over time as empirical data and observations regarding a phenomenon accumulate.   
For this Assignment, you compare two theoretical frameworks used in nursing research and explain how each theoretical framework informs nursing research.
The Assignment
Select two theoretical frameworks from this Module’s readings.  
Summarize their key assumptions. Be specific.  
Describe how the theoretical frameworks you selected are used in nursing research. Be specific and include examples.  
Compare the two frameworks and explain the similarities and differences between them. Be sure to cite sources in APA format as needed.
