Abstract
We use Fawcett and DeSanto-Madeya’s framework to critique Fisher and Fisher’s information-motivation-behavioral skills model and determine its usefulness and applicability for nursing. Our analysis and evaluation show that the model is a parsimonious and useful situation-specific theory for guiding nursing research and practice because it shows good fit with the nursing context, has social and theoretical significance, and exhibits empirical and pragmatic adequacy. More consistency in using terms referring to each concept would help to improve the model’s internal consistency. The model’s testability could also be improved by measuring health outcomes (eg, viral load or CD4 count) in future research.
