To Comment

To know the difference between model, theory, framework, and philosophy they must be defined.

Theory is a set of unified concepts, definitions, and propositions that offers a logical view of phenomena

(Butts & Rich, 2018).  Model is commonly used when discussing framework (Butts & Rich, 2018).  Model

talk about the phenomena, links the facts, guide the care, examine the problem, and study the outcome of

the actions in the discipline (Butts & Rich, 2018).   “A nurse enters this process with the patient,

particularly at a time when the patient is experiencing chaos. The key is that the nurse and the patient can

engage in the mutual process of pattern recognition” (Endo, 2017). Framework is interchangeably used

when discussing model. It is a collection of ideas and hypotheses to provide tangible information (Schmitz,

et al, 2016). Lastly, “Philosophy is a search to understand reality while, in an organization, philosophy”

(Schmitz, Gelbcke, Bruggmann, & Luz, 2016).

         I believe these concepts are all related through theory. Theory is “structure, practice goals,

tentativeness, research, creativity, progression from conceptual models to theory” (Butts & Rich, 

p. 101). Theory help guides the model, framework, and philosophy.  Therefore, “…reflection on the practice

and theory supported the collective construction of the philosophy and conceptual framework” (Schmitz,

Gelbcke, Bruggmann, & Luz, 2016).
