Theory and practice: bridging scientists' and practitioners' roles.

Arch Psychiatr Nurs

Department of Psychosocial Nursing, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.

Published: February 1992

Past and recent progress in theory development for psychiatric mental health nursing (PMHN) and its link to practice are reviewed. Results of a national survey of practitioners reflecting the current use of theory from the disciplines of nursing, psychiatry, and behavioral sciences are reported. Progress addressed in furthering the science of PMHN includes the taxonomy of nursing diagnoses and concept analysis. Case study methods are acknowledged as one approach to continue theory development. One paradigm, representative case research (RCR), is noted for its heuristic value for theory development and its potential for bridging the scientist-practitioner roles of mental health clinicians.

Background: Telemedicine is transforming health care by enabling remote diagnosis, consultation, and treatment. Despite rapid adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine uptake among health care professionals (HCPs) remains inconsistent due to perceived risks and lack of tailored policies. Existing studies focus on patient perspectives or general adoption factors, neglecting the complex interplay of contextual variables and trust constructs influencing HCPs' telemedicine adoption.

Exploring electronic states in actinide compounds is a critical aspect of nuclear science. However, considering relativistic effects and electron correlation in theoretical calculations poses a complex challenge. To tackle this, we developed the CASPT2/RASPT2 program along with the DIRAC program, enabling calculations of electron correlation methods using multiconfigurational perturbation theory with various relativistic Hamiltonians.
