A grand theory is less abstract than a conceptual model and less concrete than a middle-range theory. Its intent is to enhance understanding of key concepts and principles within nursing, not to highlight specific concepts or variables. Grand theories cannot be tested directly. Examples include Newman\u2019s \u201cHealth as Expanding Consciousness,\u201d Parse\u2019s \u201cTheory of Human Becoming,\u201d and Leininger\u2019s \u201cTheory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality.\u201d"}
