Structural and Functional Components of the Theory

Structural and Functional Components of the Theory

 

The structural components of transition theory are well distinguished through several concepts. This includes transition patterns, properties of transition experiences, conditions of transitions, and response patterns (Lindmark, 2019). The structural components help the nurse to understand the individual and identify the appropriate assessment points and intervention points. Nurses help people acquire or change roles by modeling behaviors, allowing their clients to rehearse roles, and providing them with support while they are developing these roles. Transition theory addresses psychology and social science in nursing by offering a corrective focus to enrich formation understanding and predictable and unpredictable changes Brenna, 2019). Thereby, transition theory is structured logically, which involves formulation and framework used to provide an enabling environment.
