Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: To analyze characteristics and trend of articles published in Journal of East-West Nursing Research.
Methods: The 133 articles published from 1997-2008 were reviewed using a structured form. The form included items on the topics, subjects, study designs, sample size calculation, ethical consideration, and research funds. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics.
Results: Oriental studies accounted for 42.9% of the 133 articles. The subjects were general population (32.3%), chronically-ill patients (17.3%), and nurses (12%). The most common design was survey (57.2%). Of the 32 experimental studies, 65.6% were associated with oriental nursing intervention. Many studies (66.2%) collected data using questionnaire. However, only two articles reported sample size calculation and 15.8% were performed after receiving written consent from the study participants. About 7% were studies were conducted with acquired research funds.
Conclusions: Journal of East-West Nursing Research has appropriately published the studies about both oriental and Western nursing. However, application of scientific and rigorous research methodologies needs to be emphasized.
