Using the comfort theory of nursing,read several articles and reviews about the theory. For this formal paper, you will both summarize the theory and describe the application of the theory.

Key components of the paper are as follows:

• Brief history of the theory development

• Synopsis of the theory/framework

• Identification of the major concepts within the framework

• Discussion of at least one research article in which the selected framework has been used as the basis for the study (this must be different from the articles presented in this module!)

• Brief analysis of the utility of the framework within daily nursing practice, including your reaction to the theory.
