Middle Range Theories

What is a Middle Range Theory?
From Dr. Sally Decker, April 2018:

"To be a middle range theory it has to focus on just the concept (not all of nursing) and will usually have the name of the concept within the title of the theory. The theory/model/framework (I use all three search terms for theory) needs to relate to the concept and not the intervention to "fix" the concept"
