Theory of Chronic Sorrow.

Synthesis of One Theory Applicable to Nursing (Group) Middle Range Nursing Theory- The Theory of Chronic Sorrow (Eakes main contributor). Purpose of Signature Assignment: Signature assignment requires students to demonstrate and apply their proficiency in one or more key learning outcomes. This often means synthesizing, analyzing, and applying cumulative knowledge and skills through problem-or inquiry-based assignments or projects. This design invites students to produce meaningful examples of their learning that document their progress and culminating skills and abilities.

What are the implications of the implementation of the theory for nursing? (Modified from the “Synthesized Method of Theory Evaluation” in McEwen and Wills, p.107. Box 5-3)
