Nurse Theorists
This is a brief guide to selected sources of information on nurse
theorists and nursing theory. The first listings on this page are
databases to which the UIC Library subscribes. These can be accessed by
anyone from the Library of the Health Sciences or elsewhere on the UIC
campus. Access from other locations is limited to UIC students, faculty,
and staff who have a valid netID and password. A link to freely available
web sources is also included, as are books in the LHS collection. This is
not a comprehensive list of resources. For further assistance please ask
for help at
Information Services desk.
Databases
-
MeSH/PubMed
This link takes you to MeSH, the Medical Subject Headings
database. Search in this database with the term "Nursing
Theory" (or other related terms), to find the "official"
names MeSH uses for the subject you have in mind. Then,
switch into the
PubMed database
(you can also do this from within MeSH) and use
the term(s) you found to find articles. MeSH and PubMed
are available to the general public for free, but UIC
faculty, staff, and students can enter
a
version of PubMed
that includes links to many online full-text journals.
Web Resources
Both depth and accuracy are highly variable, but the
internet can be a good place to find information on

Audiotapes
The Library of the Health Sciences-Urbana has a collection of audiotapes that feature nurse
theorists discussing their theories in their own words. To search for these tapes, please use
UICCAT.
Limit the search to LHS Urbana, search in the "any word, any where" box with the term "nurse theor?".
You will retrieve at least 8 tapes. Some of the nurse theorists that we have on tape are Orem,
Johnson, Newman, and Roy. The tapes are shelved on the second floor through the door on the left
as you come up the stairs.
Please see the reference staff for any further questions. We are happy to help!
