A nursing theory is a set of ideas, definitions, relationships, and expectations or suggestions derived from nursing models or from other disciplines and project a purposive, methodical outlook of phenomena by designing specific inter-relationships among notions for the purposes of describing, explaining, forecasting, and /or recommending. The purpose of the study is to help nurses to describe, explain and predict daily experiences and also serve to guide valuation, involvement and assessment of nursing care. Provide a justification for assembling trustworthy and valid data about the health prominence of clients, which are necessary for effective decision making and execution. Enrich self-sufficiency of nursing by defining its own independent functions.
