I. CONCEPT ANALYSIS: STATE OF THE KNOWLEDGE PAPER 50%
Objective: To develop, describe, and analyze the structure of a selected phenomenon of interest in nursing. Page numbers are limited to 12-15 double-spaced (12 font)
pages (excluding title page, abstract, and references). If pages go over 15 pages, additional pages will NOT be read and you will NOT receive credit for that section.
This paper this will include six sections with explanations in the guidelines. Please note details on the grading rubric.
Components of the Concept Analysis: State of the Knowledge Paper
1. Abstract (3 points)
2. Introduction of the idea/concept (relate the concept to one or more theories) (7 points)
3. Historical evolution of the concept in various disciplines (25 points)
4. Key issues (25 points)
5. Build a concept analysis. Use steps 4-7 of the Rodgers approach to concept analysis/development as outlined in Rodgers and Knafl (2000), page 44. (30
points)
6. Summary (10 points)
7. References

Content, clarity, and organization of ideas
The paper clearly explicated the state of the knowledge/science of a particular phenomenon of interest. The paper should be in APA (6th ed.) format with title page,
