The document discusses several theories that can be applied to evaluation in nursing education, including the health belief model, Kenney's systems model, and the adaptation model. The health belief model examines how individual perceptions and modifying factors influence the likelihood of taking action regarding nursing education. Kenney's systems model views the educational process as an input-throughput-output system. The adaptation model analyzes how individual, environmental, and mediating factors impact adaptive or maladaptive responses to nursing education.
