Nursing theory development is the means by which nursing will establish a defined area of concern. It will be becomes more effective in dealing with phenomena in these areas. Subsequently, it is one means of facilitating the evolution of nursing as a science.
The purpose of this study was compared health concept in Korean Elderly with Newman´s Health concept, and provided for basic knowledge of theory development in health of Elderly.
Through this study was compared the moment of theory development, method, expressed health concept. Researcher was not interpreted by Newman´s theory with the result of qualitative research. But, some aspect of the result consisted with Newman´s health and person concept in order to take the position of simultaneity paradigm.
The perspective about the person consisted with Newman´s person concept. The person showed patterning which continuously interacted with environment. But, the direction of pattern required further study, and showed cultural discrepancy about interaction pattern with environment.
Concept of Health consisted with Newman´s health about awareness, acquisition of insight, personal empowerment, mastery over body. And disease was integrating factor of health, helped recognition of pattern with environment.
But, the proposition that was constituted by four concept of -conscious, movement, time, space did not showed in researcher´s study. In researcher´s study, the proposition follows. The elderly lived a healthy life through interaction with environment. The relationship was improved the elderly self consciousness. The elderly self consciousness was related with awareness of becoming older, acceptance, transcendence of physical aging. The relationship formation was related with support system formation and self expansion. The linage ness was related with transcendence of self, pursuit of continuing life.
If does the theory development through the qualitative research, researcher was opposed to theory development depended on theory or theoretical framework. It will be disturbed new discovery.
The methods in theory development through qualitative research was needed consideration the following issues ; the meaning of discovery, the interrelationship between meaning of the context and interpretation to formal generative theory, scope of theoretical pre-understanding, feasibility of pure inductive research.
We should be needed paradigm shift. Further exploration to build theory development through qualitative research may contribute to development nursing discipline.
