This paper defines the concept of environment analysis and lists the factors, questions, and tools that can be used to apply the process to instructional design projects.

Her theory of goal attainment has been used as the basis for practice, education, research, and administration, examples of which are presented here.

It gives a detailed description of King's conceptual system including personal systems, interpersonal systems, and social systems, and a description of the theory of goal attainment. A discussion of the philosophical assumptions underpinning King's theory as well as the concepts of the theory are also included. Research (both completed and ongoing) and changes that have taken place in her theory are examined.

Two philosophies of science--logical empiricism and historicism--are compared for four variables: (1) components of science, (2) conception of science, (3) assessment of scientific progress, and (4) goal of philosophy of science. These factors serve as the basis for assessing trends in the development and testing of nursing theory from 1964 to the present. The analysis shows a beginning philosophic shift within nursing theory from logical empiricism to historicism and addresses implications and recommendations for future nursing theory development and testing.

Salient components of King's theory are presented followed by application of the theory using the nursing process as a framework. An example of a nurse-patient interaction is used to more clearly present the application. The advantages of King's theory in relation to the care of the diabetic adult are also discussed.
