Theoretical Foundations Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Instructor’s Name Course Date
Introduction • Theories are fundamental aspects of any field of study since they help unravel certain things that require scientific analysis. • Notably, a theory is any structured idea to elaborate on a specific problem by providing deep insights that can clarify and understand the aspect being analyzed. • Every theory is characterized by ideas of phenomena, propositions, concepts, and assumptions in the quest to provide insights into the contested issue. • These aspects will be analyzed individually and substantial relationships drawn between them to depict how they structure a theory and influence its strength or weakness.
Phenomena • Phenomena refer to situations or facts identified to happen or occur, particularly those whose explanation or cause is under analysis. • Ideally, every theory relates to a specific phenomenon that is the expounded issue ( Indra, 2018) .

Concepts • A theory is a general understanding or idea concerning something or a specific issue or problem. • Formulating a concept is the initial step of theory development since it breaks down the problem into small understandable notions that can easily be comprehended ( Kirshbaum, 2021) .
Propositions • A proposition links concepts in theory in situations where the association cannot be affirmed through an experiment. • Ideally, a proposition is similar to a hypothesis, but they differ based on their respective purposes. • Propositions are attributed to prior studies, existing correlative evidence, and logical or justifiable assumptions ( Indra, 2018) .
Assumptions • Assumptions are statements recognized as truths, although they lack the proof to depict their accuracy. • However, every theory must be accompanied by a set of assumptions accepted by the user or researcher. • Assumptions are important because they create a way to actualize a specific theory ( Kirshbaum, 2021) .

Connections between phenomena, concepts, propositions, and assumptions During Theory Development • Although phenomena, concepts, propositions, and assumptions are distinct, they collaborate in establishing the foundation of a testable theory ( Kirshbaum, 2021) . • Every theory incorporates structured concepts, assumptions, and propositions that illustrate a specific phenomenon in a highly systematic and purposeful manner ( Indra, 2018) .
Application of the Four Aspects in my Typical Practice Experience • As an oncology nurse, phenomena, propositions, concepts, and assumptions are inevitable factors since nursing incorporates numerous theories to improve patient care. • The typical practice experience phenomenon is burn-out or nursing fatigue. • A related nursing concept is the nurse-patient relationship which can be influenced by care fatigue ( Indra, 2018) . • Similarly, a joint nursing proposition is that the workplace environment impacts nursing care, resulting in burnout. • It is often assumed that nurses do not need breaks in their typical activities, but holidays are essential since long-working hours can result in burnout ( Indra, 2018) .
Decreased Nursing Productivity Phenomenon • Burn-outs are a common phenomenon in nursing that results in decreased productivity. • Ideally, nurses, are expected to be overly motivated in providing healthcare services to patients, but this can be hindered by burnout as a phenomenon ( Indra, 2018) . • Inevitably, care fatigue impairs the provision of practical nursing care to patients, thereby influencing their health welfare.

The Concept of Nursing Fatigue and Patient-Nurse Relationships • As stated earlier, the relationships created between nurses and their patients determine the quality of care provided and the overall patients’ quality of life ( Indra, 2018) . • However, nurses experiencing burnout can impair their relationships with patients, thus failing to develop effective interpersonal relationships ( Indra, 2018) . • As an oncology nurse, developing effective relationships with patients is essential because they require reliable emotional and psychological association with their caregivers.
Common Propositions in Oncology Nursing • Studies show that the workplace environment is crucial in influencing nurses’ general wellbeing and the quality of their care ( Rivera et al., 2021) . • However, an ineffective workplace environment characterized by heavy caseloads and an insufficient number of nurses can result in care fatigue.
Nursing Assumption that Nurses do not Need Rest • It is often assumed that nurses do not require rest thus subjecting them to long working hours. • Nonetheless, given the complexity of their profession, nurses easily get mentally, emotionally, and psychologically exhausted deteriorating their quality of care ( Kirshbaum, 2021) . • It is thereby false to believe that they do not require rest.

Imogine King Theory in Nursing • King's goal achievement theory is essential in nursing since it helps nurses foster patients' welfare. • This theory was formulated in the early 1960s and expounded on a gradual, interpersonal association that facilitates patients' growth and development in achieving specific life goals ( Marilyn et al., 2019) . • According to this theory, patients can fail to achieve their goals because of time, space, stress, and roles.
Relationship Between Imogine King Theory and Oncology • Oncology in nursing relates to working with cancer patients alongside individuals vulnerable to acquiring cancer ( Kirshbaum, 2021) . • As an oncology nurse, one is tasked with providing essential evaluations, executing treatments, and communicating with all patient care providers to aid them in creating a customized approach to meet each patient's needs.
Conclusion • As discussed above, theoretical foundations are essential in fostering the success of research practices that aid in solving typical life problems. • Every theory incorporates phenomena, concepts, propositions, and assumptions that interrelate in upholding the theory's success. • As discussed in this presentation, nursing is a complex practice that aims at improving patients' welfare by advancing their health.
