C. Using your article(s) as an example, explain how the researchers validated the middle-range theory of caring in their research by giving operational definition to each concept and their relationship(s).

A concept becomes a measurable variable after being operationally defined in a research study.
Using your article(s) as an example; explain how the researchers validated the MRT in their research by giving operational definition to each concept and their relationship(s).

For example, the researchers used Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory in postpartum women; the comfort need to be enhanced (concept A) is mammary swelling by intervention variables (concept B)including using hot pack and massage. However, if the same theory is used in soldiers who needs amputation, their comfort need, intervention, health care needs, or health-seeking behaviors will be very different from postpartum women. I want to see how the researchers defined each concept and inter-relationships of the Comfort Theory in their study of certain phenomenon among a population. Thus, how the study results have shown you about the Comfort Theory (including concepts and their inter-relationships)? The Comfort Theory has been supported by all concepts (called variables with operational definition in the research study) and their inter-relationships in the research study or not.
