Multi-methods study to develop a program theory on community health nursing

The aim of this study is to gain an in-depth understanding of causal mechanisms within the field of action of community health nurses. In this regard, we aim to develop a program theory to uncover the interconnectedness of interventions, outcomes and their respective context. Several methods (expert interviews, participatory observation, stakeholder conversations, group discussions) are used in an iterative design to develop and refine this theory.
