Week 5
Theoretical or Conceptual Framework
This week, review your literature and look for gaps of
knowledge in your topic. What is missing? What questions do you still have that
you can potentially solve in your research? Compose a 2- to 3-page paper that
outlines the framework for your research project.
Address the following:
Explain the problem and briefly summarize the research you
have completed in your literature review.
Define any gaps or relationships that are apparent and how
you will address them in your project. Be sure to reference back to your
research questions and problems to ensure that the gaps correlate with your
problem and questions.
Demonstrate that the solution you propose is not based on
your personal opinions or guesses, but are formed from the facts that you have
read from the authors of the previous research.
You may find that you are adding onto your references and
your literature review based on new investigation and that is okay!
Explain your perspective and reference any nursing or
informatics theoretical underpinnings if it supports your framework.
