Content: Nurses borrowed theories from psychology, physiology, sociology, medicine, physics, and organizational systems, for example, and then used those concepts and frameworks to develop theories specific to nursing practice. In this post, I discuss the history of borrowed or shared theories in nursing and identify common theories used to inform and guide nursing practice, education, and research. **This post was proofread by Grammarly

One hallmark of a profession is a unique body of knowledge. Nursing theory development is part of that unique body of knowledge. A lot of nursing theories have been developed since 1860, with a proliferation of theories in the 1960s and 1970s; of course, nursing theories continue to be developed today. A discipline-specific theory is defined as organized knowledge that is unique to a discipline (Johnson & Webber, 2015). Knowledge considered “owned” by one discipline can have significance to another discipline and is “shared … when answers to questions, solutions to problems, or explanations of phenomena fall into another discipline’s knowledge domain” (p. 20).
