5a. Textbook Readings Advanced Practice Nursing: An Integrative Approach Chapter 10: “Evidence-Based Practice” Chapter 11: “Leadership” Opinion Leader Perspectives Consider a situation where you lead in the healthcare environment. What spurred that leadership role? How did you change through that process? What resources did you consult to help you grow? Describe a situation in which you were (or wished you could have been) an opinion leader. What are the characteristics of opinion leaders? When you consider your current skillset with what you see as an opinion leader, what areas do you need to develop? In what ways do you see yourself being an opinion leader in your MSN role? 5b. Theories in Research and Practice  In Unit 3(Paterson & Zderad) and 4(..?), you examined theories from other disciplines that are used in nursing. Some of these theories are used without modification in nursing such as Lewin’s Change Theory to support practice changes. Other theories are used as a foundation for development of nursing theories such as Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations founded on the work of Harry Stack Sullivan. Clearly, many non-nursing theories are used in the development of middle range theories in nursing. Identify a middle range theory in nursing that has links to a non-nursing theory. Describe the theory and explain the relationship to the related non-nursing theory. Connect the selected middle range theory to nursing research or advanced nursing practice Textbook Readings McEwen, M., & Wills, W. (2018). Theoretical basis for nursing (5th edition).
