Using a model to structure psychosocial nursing [corrected].
1. Specifying a model to guide research projects helps clarify the study, permits several investigators to work in a coordinated fashion on large projects, and facilitates comparisons across studies. 2. This model is composed of seven domains and indicates some of the hypothesized relationships between domains. Adapting the model to individual studies may result in a different number of domains and in the specification of other hypothesized relationships. 3. When possible, researchers should make use of minimum data sets to enhance the comprehensiveness and generalizability of their research.
