Abstract

In Bhola’s Configurations Theory of Planned Change, the CLER Structure resides in the midst of an epis-temic triangle comprised of systems theory, dialectical thinking and constructivism. Our evaluation process compared the theory with descriptive statements in the Tiffany/Lutjens Planned Change Theory Evaluation Scale and found that Bhola’s Theory resonates well with nursing’s needs. This suggests its application to nursing’s clinical, education, administrative, and research settings. © 1994 by Springhouse Corporation.
