Reflection/Evaluation - Theoretical Framework and Interpretation.

A theoretical framework serves as a guide to build and support one research

from the structure through to the vision of the study. It defines how one would
methodologically and analytically approach their project as a whole. The attached
research project is however based on a conceptual framework of best practises that
offers a logical structure connecting the three aims and objectives by specifically
laying out key factors and variables that relate to the aims and objectives. This is
done to best explain the natural progression of the impact that Nurse Practitioners
have on Primary care through their perception and data collected throughout the
study.
The conceptual framework could have some qualitative research methods that
have theoretical reinforcements that could have guided the study. Theories that could
have contributed to a theoretical framework could include the systems theory, and
organisational theory yet both theories mentioned respectively relating to the shape
of the findings in relation to the aims.
The systems theory relating to the place of work (hospital, practice, community
within the NHS) being interrelated throughout the organisation and how when
changes take place, it impacts many others. Where shortage of nurses increased
targets set by management, overextending NP in their practises.
As the classic organisational theory represents the unification of scientific
management, bureaucratic theory and administrative theory it could have served as
a guide in question three where the study examined the challenges faced by Nurse
Practitioners.
