Prevention includes measures taken to prevent the occurrence of diseases or conditions designed to eliminate or minimize the effects of diseases and disorders. Prevention as a new concept requires a lot of care as individual health is the determinant of the other activities they perform. It is therefore important to evaluate the concept of prevention that is used in nursing jobs. "Prevention of 1 ounce is worth 1 pound" Prevention is very important and evident for vaccination and can save millions of people.
The first two articles of this series of conceptual analyzes show the purpose of conceptual analysis and how to search articles and research of concept analysis. This article outlines the general conceptual analysis method and framework used in nursing theory and nursing research. I will start with the most common care framework and outline the concept analysis method of Walker and Avant. It is an analytical method that clearly understands concepts and phenomena of interest. In 1963, John Wilson published a conceptual analysis textbook and explained a method of conceptual analysis including eleven steps from concept recognition and separation to best meaning of concept building (Hupcey, Morse, Lenz). , & Tasón, 1996)
Concept analytical method commonly used in nursing: Introduction of 8-step method of Walker and Avant
There are two elements to analyzing complex concepts (complex concepts are concepts analyzed according to other 'simpler' concepts). Analysis, that is, the concept being analyzed, and the "analyst" analyst or concept. The following conditions must be satisfied. (I) A classical analysis MUST specify a set of necessary and general conditions in order to enter the extension of the analysis (the extent to which the concept extension can apply that concept). (Other classical theorists deny that all classical analyzes show a common enough condition. Conversely, classical analysis only specifies the necessary and sufficient conditions.)
