The model was developed by Dr. Kathleen Stevens at the Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice located at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. [3] The model has been represented in many nursing textbooks , used as part of an intervention to increase EBP competencies, and as a framework for instruments measuring EBP ...
Nursing theory is defined as "a creative and conscientious structuring of ideas that project a tentative, purposeful, and systematic view of phenomena".
