NR501 Concept Analysis Guidelines and Rubric 
PURPOSE 
This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to complete an analysis of a concept supported by a nursing theory using an identified process. The assignment fosters analytical thinking related to the selected concept as well as application within the profession. 
REQUIREMENTS 
Description of the Assignment 
This assignment presents a modified method for conducting a concept analysis of ONE concept that is important and useful to nursing.  The concept for this assignment must be supported by a published nursing theory. The selected concept is identified and then the elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge for application as demonstrated through the creation of model, borderline, and contrary cases.  Theoretical applications of the concept are also discussed. Non-nursing theories may NOT be used. The paper concludes with a synthesis of the student’s new knowledge about the concept. The scholarly literature is incorporated throughout the analysis.

Only the elements identified in this assignment should be used for this concept analysis. 
Criteria for Content 
1.         Introduction 
The introduction substantively presents all the following elements: 
•          Identifies the role of concept analysis within theory development. 
•          Identifies the selected nursing concept. 
•          Identifies the nursing theory that addresses the selected concept. 
•          Names the sections of the paper. 
•          Scholarly support is required.

Please Note: Primary research articles about the selected nursing concept are the most useful resource for the literature review. 
4.         Defining attributes 
For this section: 
•          A minimum of THREE (3) attributes are required. 
•          A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required

Explanation:  An attribute identifies characteristics of a concept.  For this situation, the characteristics of the selected nursing concept are identified and discussed.

•          1 consequence of the selected nursing concept. 
•          A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required.

6.         Empirical Referents 
This section requires the identification of: 
•          2 (two) empirical referents of the selected nursing concept.

7.         Construct Cases 
Explanation: hypothetical or real-life situations demonstrating the use or absence of the concept. 
This section requires the creation of a model case, borderline case, and contrary case. 
•          1 Model Case is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating within the case each of the following areas: 
o          Definition 
o          All identified attributes

Explanation:  A model case is an example of a hypothetical or real-life situation that demonstrates all of the attributes noted previously in this assignment.

•          1 Borderline Case is created by the student in which one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing. 
•          1 Contrary Case is created by the student that demonstrates the opposite of the selected nursing concepts. All identified attributes of the concept are absent in this case.

Explanation:  Borderline case is a created case where one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing. Contrary case is a created case that demonstrate the complete opposite of the selected nursing concept – all identified attributes are missing.
