concepts and cannot be operationalised. Furthermore, these theories are formulated to provide scholars with an ideal picture of nursing and caring. Middlerange theories describe frameworks that have a more specific focus than grand theories. Therefore, middle-range theories will include a limited number of concepts that are relatively concrete and operationally defined. For this reason, the concepts can be operationalised, and hence, empirically tested. A middle-range theory will present a limited view of nursing reality that is appropriate for empirical testing and directly applicable to nursing practice. Descriptive middle-range theories define several concepts while explanatory middle-range theories present how the included concepts are related to one another. Practice theory, which is often used instead of microtheory or situation-specific theory, is the least complex and most specific type of theory evident in nursing research. This type of theory includes the fewest concepts, is characterised by a narrow scope (i.e. a particular aspect of reality), describes strictly defined phenomena, and presents knowledge that is applicable to a specific part of nursing practice. Practice theory is relevant to clinical practice and provides detailed descriptions of the content of contemporary nursing practice [1]. 7.1.3 Theory Development Strategies When theory development is discussed, the terms approach and strategy are commonly used instead of development. Figure 7.2 shows that theory development is a multi-phase process. It can begin with either an inductive or deductive approach (see Chaps. 1 and 2). Mixed methods can also be used to develop theory [2, 4–6] (see Chap. 4). An inductive strategy, described in Chaps. 1 and 2, is characterised by
