Aims of Analysis
In striving to attain conceptual clarity, the analysis
may make it possible to promote a single vocabulary
for discussion while understanding what the parameters
of patient participation are. Accordingly, the aim of
the analysis is to identify and explore the attributes of
the concept, and to clarify and elucidate the meaning
and nature of the concept of patient participation
within the context of nursing practice. It may provide
a pattern for challenging and criticizing the concept
within the context of nursing practice. This concept
analysis also intends to illuminate the role of the nurse
in relation to patient participation and highlight the
skills, knowledge, and experience nurses require to
practice.
