title: Evaluating Bhola's Configurations Theory of Planned Change.
abstract: In Bhola's Configurations Theory of Planned Change, the CLER Structure resides in the midst of an epistemic triangle comprised of systems theory, dialectical thinking and constructivism. Our evaluation process compared the theory with descriptive statements in the Tiffany/Lutjens Planned Change Theory Evaluation Scale and found that Bhola's Theory resonates well with nursing's needs. This suggests its application to nursing's clinical, education, administrative, and research settings.
