| Summary: | This study aimed was done to analyze recent trends in nursing research published in the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing by focusing on the content of nursing interventions and their level of evidence.
A total of 209 studies published between 2007 and 2008 were reviewed using analysis criteria developed by the researchers.
The number of quantitative studies was greater than that of qualitative studies. There was a slight increase in the number of qualitative studies and studies including elderly populations, which reflects the recent population trend in Korea. More randomized controlled trials with a low risk of bias were needed to support more evidence-based nursing practice. Concerning the low rate of ethical consideration, stricter application of research ethics needs to be encouraged.
The findings of this study suggest the recent trends in nursing research and the direction of nursing research and review in the Journal. |
