Suits research exploring:• Changing behaviours within health contexts to address patient and carer practices• Changing behaviours regarding environmental concerns• Barriers and enablers to behaviour/ practice/ implementation• Intervention planning and implementation• Post-evaluation• Promoting physical activity
| | This study examined how the COM-B model could be used to increase children’s hand-washing and improve disinfecting surfaces in seven countries. Each country had a different result based on capability, opportunity and/or motivation. This study examined the barriers and facilitators to talking about death and dying among the general population in Northern Ireland. The findings were mapped across the COM-B behaviour change model and the theoretical domains framework. This study explored women’s understanding of health and health behaviours and the supports that were important to promote behavioural change in the preconception period. Coding took place and a deductive process identified themes mapped to the COM-B framework. Identified perceived barriers and enablers of the implementation of a falls-prevention program to inform the implementation in a randomised controlled trial. Strategies to optimise the successful implementation of the program were also sought. Results were mapped against the COM-B framework. | Great for:• Evaluation• Intervention and implementation planning | | | Explored participants’ experiences with the program (ceasing smoking) to inform future implementation efforts of combined smoking cessation and alcohol abstinence interventions, guided by the CFIR. Key findings from the interviews are presented in relation to overarching CFIR domains. This mixed-methods study drew upon the CFIR combined with the concept of ‘intervention fidelity’ to evaluate the quality of the interprofessional counselling sessions, to explore the perspective of, directly and indirectly, involved healthcare staff, as well as to analyse the perceptions and experiences of the patients. This is a protocol for a scoping study to identify the topics in need of study and areas for future research on barriers to and facilitators of the implementation of workplace health-promoting interventions. Data analysis was aligned to the CFIR. This study examined the utility of the CFIR in identifying and comparing barriers and facilitators influencing the implementation of participatory research trials, by employing an adaptation of the CFIR to assess the implementation of a multi-component, urban public school-based participatory health intervention. Adapted CFIR constructs guided the largely deductive approach to thematic data analysis. |
Good for:• Pre-implementation, implementation and post-implementation studies• Feasibility studies• Intervention development | | | This study aimed to develop and assess the psychometric properties of a measurement scale for acceptance of a telephone-facilitated health coaching intervention, based on the TFA; and to determine the acceptability of the intervention among participants living with diabetes or having a high risk of diabetes in socio-economically disadvantaged areas in Stockholm. A questionnaire using TFA was employed. This paper reported patients’ perceived acceptability of the use of PINCER in primary care and proposes suggestions on how delivery of PINCER-related care could be delivered in a way that is acceptable and not unnecessarily burdensome.This study describes the nationwide implementation of a program targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour in vocational schools (Lets’s Move It; LMI). Results showed high levels of acceptability and reach of training. This study drew on established models such TFA to assess the acceptability of SmartNet in Ugandan households. Results showed the monitor needs to continue to be optimised to make it more acceptable to users and to accurately reflect standard insecticide-treated nets use to improve understanding of prevention behaviours in malaria-endemic settings. |
Good for:• Implementation• Evaluation | | | This pre-implementation evaluation of an integrated, shared decision-making personal health record system (e-PHR) was underpinned by NPT. The theory provides a framework to analyse cognitive and behavioural mechanisms known to influence implementation success. It was extremely valuable for informing the future implementation of e-PHR, including perceived benefits and barriers. This study assessed the impact of an intervention combining health literacy colorectal cancer-screening (CRC) training for GPs, using a pictorial brochure and video targeting eligible patients, to increase screening and other secondary outcomes, after 1 year, in several underserved geographic areas in France. They propose to evaluate health literacy among underserved populations to address health inequalities and improve CRC screening uptake and other outcomes. This study aimed to ascertain acceptability among pregnant smokers receiving the intervention. Interview schedules were informed by NPT and theoretical domains framework; interviews were analysed thematically, using the framework method and NPT. Findings are grouped according to the four NPT concepts. The study sought to understand how the implementation of primary care services for transgender individuals compares across various models of primary care delivery in Ontario, Canada. Using the NPT framework to guide analysis, key themes emerged about the successful implementation of primary care services for transgender individuals. |
Good for:• Patient experiences• Evaluation of health services• Evaluation | | | The study used the candidacy framework to explore how the doctor–patient relationship can influence perceived eligibility to visit their GP among people experiencing cancer alarm symptoms. A valuable theoretical framework for understanding the interactional factors of the doctor–patient relationship which influence perceived eligibility to seek help for possible cancer alarm symptoms.The study aimed to understand ways in which a mHealth intervention could be developed to overcome barriers to existing HIV testing and care services and promote HIV self-testing and linkage to prevention and care in a poor, HIV hyperendemic community in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Themes were identified from the interview transcripts, manually coded, and thematically analysed informed by the candidacy framework.This study explored the perceived problems of non-engagement that outreach aims to address and specific mechanisms of outreach hypothesised to tackle these. Analysis was thematically guided by the concept of 'candidacy', which theorises the dynamic process through which services and individuals negotiate appropriate service use.This was a theoretically informed examination of experiences of access to secondary mental health services during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in England. Findings affirm the value of the construct of candidacy for explaining access to mental health care, but also enable deepened understanding of the specific features of candidacy. |
Good for:• Examining how social injustice affects health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from a non-medical model• Examining how inequalities in illness and mortality rates result from personal context within communities characterised by social, economic and political inequality, factors | | | Culture had a strong presence in program delivery and building social cohesion, and social capital emerged as themes. As a primary health care provider, the ACCHO sector addresses the social determinants of health and health inequity experienced by Indigenous communities. The community-controlled service increased their breadth of strategies used to address primary health care indicates the need for greater understanding of the benefits of this model, as well as advocacy to safeguard it from measures that may undermine its equity performance.The primary health care delivered by ACCHOs is culturally appropriate because they are incorporated Aboriginal organisations, initiated by local Aboriginal communities and based in local Aboriginal communities, governed by Aboriginal bodies elected by the local Aboriginal community, delivering a holistic and culturally appropriate health service to the community that controls it. After investigation, the authors state that failure to recognise the intersection of culture with other structural and societal factors creates and compounds poor health outcomes, thereby multiplying financial, intellectual and humanitarian cost. They review health and health practices as they relate to culture. |
Good for:• Understanding the non-medical factors that influence health and social outcomes | | | The study identifies and describes the social determinants of health.This study examines a socio-ecological approach to healthy eating and active living, a model of health that recognises the interaction between individuals and their greater environment and its impact on health.The study considers the healthcare screening and referral of families to resources that are critical roles for pediatric healthcare practices to consider as part of addressing social determinants of health.This study examines how (apart from age) social and economic factors contribute to disability differences between older men and women. |
Good for: • Examining all the factors that contribute to health, such as social, cultural, political and environmental factors | | | Participants provided narratives of the pictures, using pre-identified themes and the different levels of the social-ecological model.The study tested a socioecological model of the determinants of health literacy with a special focus on geographical differences in Europe.This study investigated the interaction of family support, transport cost (ex-post) and disabilities on health service-seeking behaviour among older people, from the perspective of the social ecological model. The study examined the factors that contributed to low birth weight in babies, including age, gestational age, birth spacing, age at marriage, history of having a low birth weight infant, miscarriage and stillbirth, mean weight before pregnancy, body mass index, hemoglobin and hematocrit, educational level, family size, number of pregnancies, husband’s support during pregnancy and husband’s occupation. |
Good for: • Using a new way of thinking to understand the whole rather than individual parts | | | The study outlines a systems theory of mental health care and promotion that is specific to needs of the recreational sport system, so that context-specific, effective policies, interventions and models of care can be articulated and tested.This study uses a systems-thinking approach to consider the person–environment transaction and to focus on the underlying processes and patterns of human behaviour of flight attendants.The study examines the family as a system and proposes that family systems theory is a formal theory that can be used to guide family practice and research.The authors examine the meta-theoretical, theoretical and methodological foundations of the literature base of hope. They examine the intersection of positive psychology with systems thinking. |
Good for:• Understanding the many factors that affect health, including biological, psychological and social factors | | | The biopsychosocial model was used to guide the entire research study: background, question, tools and analysis.The biopsychosocial model was used to guide the researchers’ understanding of ‘health’ and the many factors that affect it, including the wider determinants of health in the discussion.The biopsychosocial model is not specifically mentioned; however, factors such as depression, age, social support, income, co-morbidities including diabetes and hypertension, and sex were measured and analysed.The study uses the Survey of Unmet Needs for data collection, which determines needs across impairment, activities of daily living, occupational activities, psychological needs, and community access. Data was analysed across the full spectrum of needs. |
As discussed in Chapter 3, qualitative research is not an absolute science. While not all research may need a framework or theory (particularly descriptive studies, outlined in Chapter 5), the use of a framework or theory can help to position the research questions, research processes and conclusions and implications within the relevant research paradigm. Theories and frameworks also help to bring to focus areas of the research problem that may not have been considered.

Example of a Theoretical Framework – In a Nutshell
- An example of a theoretical framework outlines the theory-based approach taken when conducting research.
- The example of a theoretical framework comprises the problem statement , research question, and relevant literature review .
- A well formulated example of a theoretical framework is essential to guide your research and methodology to explain and summarize your findings convincingly.
Definition: Example of a theoretical framework
An example of a theoretical framework is a structure that defines the main ideas in a thesis or dissertation . It limits the breadth of the study by narrowing the focus to key variables and their relationship. Theoretical frameworks also give a researcher the specific structure that guides the collection and interpretation of the relevant data in a research proposal .
Example of a theoretical framework – Problem statement & research questions
The example of a theoretical framework is based on:
- The problem statement – involves contextualizing the research problem . The researcher describes the specific issue that the study seeks to address and justifies the study’s relevance and primary objectives.
- The research questions – are focused on a specific issue, and they should be feasible and researchable using various credible sources.
- The literature review – is an overview of published works about a certain topic, and it outlines what is currently known versus the existing gaps.
Examples of a problem statement and research questions
Find an example of a research question and problem statement below:
An insurance company is having a hard time cross-selling its products. The sales department has realized that most of the customers hold just one policy, although the company offers over ten unique policies. The company would like to have its customers purchase more than one policy since it is clear most customers are purchasing other policies from other companies.
The sales and marketing department wants to increase product awareness. They have concluded that more product awareness will improve the uptake of other products by the existing customers.
![Example-of-a-Theoretical-Framework-Problem-statement Example-of-a-Theoretical-Framework-Problem-statement](https://www.bachelorprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Example-of-a-Theoretical-Framework-Problem-statement.jpg)
To analyze this problem, you have formulated a problem statement, objective, and a research question as follows:
- Problem: Many customers are purchasing additional policies from other companies.
- Objective: Selling more products to existing customers.
- Research question: How can customer product awareness be improved to increase cross-selling of insurance products?
In this study, the concept of “product awareness” is the main focus, alongside the chances that it will improve sales across other products. The example of a theoretical framework should analyze this concept and propose theories that discuss the relationship between the two variables.
- What is the relationship between product awareness and sales ?
- How informed are the existing customers about the company’s products?
- Which factors determine product awareness?
Example of a theoretical framework
In the following example, we define the concept of product awareness mentioned above.
| Explains product awareness as the degree to which customers are familiar with a company's product. She further emphasizes that product awareness is an important step in selling a new product and informing customers about other products or services sold by a company. |
| States that product awareness is the lever that associates a particular product with a company. She associates product awareness with visual cues that identify a product in the marketplace without a product name. |
| Offers a more detailed definition of product awareness, identifying prior knowledge of a product as a strong sales driver. He states that the first step in any purchase is knowing that the product exists in a company's product line. He continues to identify the impact of targeted marketing to ensure the right products are marketed to the right potential customers. |
Spacey’s description is more compatible with the study as it highlights the importance of conscious marketing strategies to improve product awareness. Although Kopp and Marrs clearly define product awareness, they don’t propose an actionable step in analyzing product awareness.
The insurance company wants to maximize product awareness as part of its long-term strategy. As a result, targeted marketing will ensure the products are divided and advertised to the most potential buyers.
Spacey’s Product Awareness Work Plan
According to Spacey, the more aware your target customer base is of your range of products, the easier it is to sell more products to an individual customer. Spacey explains that product awareness simplifies promoting your products through different mediums, introducing new products, building a strong reputation, and retaining customers.

What is a Theoretical Framework?
A theoretical framework is a conceptual structure that underpins research, outlining the fundamental principles, assumptions, and concepts that shape a study’s approach. It serves as a lens through which researchers view their subject matter, helping to frame the research questions, identify variables, and establish the relationships between them. A well-constructed theoretical framework not only enhances the clarity and coherence of a study but also provides a rationale for the chosen methodologies and interpretations.
How to Draft a Theoretical Framework
Embarking on the journey of constructing a theoretical framework requires a systematic approach that incorporates precision and critical thinking. The following step-by-step guide will assist you in creating a robust theoretical framework for your research, guiding you through each pivotal stage.
Step 1: Identifying the Objective:
At the heart of any theoretical framework lies a clear objective. Define the purpose of your research and the specific problem you aim to address. This step sets the stage for the subsequent construction of your framework, helping you stay focused and aligned with your research goals.
Step 2: Exploring Existing Theories and Concepts:
Delve into the existing body of knowledge within your field. Identify relevant theories, concepts, and themes that resonate with your research objective. By building upon established frameworks, you enhance the credibility and depth of your theoretical foundation.
Step 3: Establishing Relationships and Correlations:
The strength of a theoretical framework lies in its ability to establish meaningful connections. Determine the relationships and correlations between the variables and concepts you’ve identified. This step involves discerning patterns, analogies , and logical linkages that contribute to a cohesive framework.
Step 4: Defining Key Elements and Characteristics:
Assemble the key elements and characteristics that constitute your theoretical framework. Define the variables, constructs, and operational definitions that will shape your study. Ensure that these components align harmoniously to present a comprehensive and coherent structure.
How do I cite a theoretical framework in my research?
When referencing a theoretical framework in your work, follow the citation style specified by your academic institution or publisher. Typically, you would attribute the original source and provide appropriate credit within your text and bibliography.
Can I modify an existing theoretical framework to suit my study?
Absolutely. Adapting an existing theoretical framework to align with your research objectives is a common practice. However, ensure that any modifications made retain the integrity of the original framework while addressing the unique aspects of your study.
Are theoretical frameworks limited to quantitative research?
No, theoretical frameworks are essential for both quantitative and qualitative research. While they may manifest differently in each approach, their role in providing a structured foundation remains consistent.
In the intricate tapestry of research, a theoretical framework emerges as a guiding thread that weaves together concepts, variables, and relationships. By diligently crafting a theoretical framework, researchers illuminate the path toward deeper understanding and meaningful insights. As you embark on your scholarly endeavors, remember that a well-constructed theoretical framework not only elevates the quality of your work but also contributes to the ever-evolving tapestry of human knowledge.

A theoretical framework guides the research process like a roadmap for the study, so you need to get this right. Theoretical framework 1,2 is the structure that supports and describes a theory. A theory is a set of interrelated concepts and definitions that present a systematic view of phenomena by describing the relationship among the variables for explaining these phenomena.
Theoretical Framework. Definition: Theoretical framework refers to a set of concepts, theories, ideas, and assumptions that serve as a foundation for understanding a particular phenomenon or problem. It provides a conceptual framework that helps researchers to design and conduct their research, as well as to analyze and interpret their findings.

This framework helps to ground the research focus understudy within theoretical underpinnings and to frame the inquiry for data analysis and interpretation. The application of theory in traditional theoretical research is to understand, explain, and predict phenomena (Swanson, 2013). References. Casanave, C.P.,& Li,Y.(2015).
Summary of a Theoretical Framework Sample. For some researchers, an ideal approach is to define theoretical framework. However, some researchers assume the reader already knows what this framework is all about. As such, they go straight to the details. Below is a summary of a theoretical framework in research example.
The theoretical framework - the 'toolbox' - details the theories, propositions, hypotheses (if you're using them) and concepts - the 'tools' - that you will use to address or make sense of this problem. The list of potential explanations for why responses differ is enormous. You could approach this question with a focus on ...
The framework may actually be a theory, but not necessarily. This is especially true for theory driven research (typically quantitative) that is attempting to test the validity of existing theory. However, this narrow definition of a theoretical framework is commonly not aligned with qualitative research paradigms that are attempting to develop ...
