A theme of this article is the theory-research link and its essential role in advancing nursing science and practice. Concern is expressed over the current status of nursing theory relative to the advances in research and practice. Soon-to-be and current theoreticians and scientists are encouraged to champion not just nursing theory proper but scientific nursing theories that have explanatory power. The role of the precision health movement in facilitating development of scientific theory is explored.

The purpose of this article is to explore the status quo of situation-specific theories through an integrated literature review on situation-specific theories that have been published since 1999. The literature was searched through multiple databases including PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO and analyzed in terms of purpose of theorizing, types of theorizing, sources of theorizing, and linkages to research or practice. Four themes reflecting the current status of situation-specific theories were extracted: (a) explicitly claimed and not explicitly claimed situation-specific theories; (b) multiple philosophical bases; (c) unique theorizing process; and (d) providing clear directions for nursing interventions but rarely evaluated. Nurses need to continuously make their efforts to develop theoretical bases that could closely link theory, research, and practice in nursing and that could adequately serve new nursing needs and challenges.

A large volume of research has been stimulated by theories that acknowledge the influence of family characteristics on career development. Family background and family processes are two dimensions on which the family influences career development. This paper discusses the influence of family processes on adolescent and young adult career development. Two career development theories that acknowledge the influence of family process factors on career development are described, followed by a review of studies that have investigated relationships between a broad range of family process variables and various aspects of adolescent-young adult career development. Finally, a range of career counselling and career education interventions to assist career counsellors and career education professionals to integrate theory, research and practice are described and critiqued.
