Nursing education programmes should be at an academic level and connected to research. In Sweden, empirical studies are generally required in order to obtain a Bachelor's degree; hence, in some cases, these studies are replaced by a literature review. A study was conducted using 11 criteria. Thirteen theses produced in a department of nursing science were examined, elaborated and reproduced by reviewing international and national literature. Thereafter, the criteria themselves were scrutinized. Principal findings when critiquing the theses were that in eight theses the purpose was dearly identified and well defined in relation to the study accomplished; in three theses the purpose was indistinct and vague; and in two the definitions and research questions were lacking. The topic was relevant for the area of nursing in all theses. General problems identified were poor spelling and grammar, and unsatisfactory thesis structure. This article discusses whether criteria are useful when examining the Bachelor candidates' theses. The authors report that the criteria seemed to be useful, giving some guidance for scrutinizing theses and facilitating correspondence. Criteria could be appropriate guidelines for using to increase the quality of the theses as well as the quality of nursing.
护理教育项目应达到学术水平并与研究相关。在瑞典，通常需要进行实证研究才能获得学士学位；因此，在某些情况下，这些研究被文献综述所取代。本研究使用了11条标准。通过查阅国际和国内文献，对护理科学系撰写的13篇论文进行了审查、阐述和重现。此后，对标准本身进行了审视。在对这些论文进行评判时，主要发现是：8篇论文的目的在已完成的研究中明确确定且定义清晰；3篇论文的目的不明确且模糊；2篇论文缺乏定义和研究问题。所有论文的主题都与护理领域相关。发现的普遍问题是拼写和语法较差，以及论文结构不尽人意。本文讨论了这些标准在审查本科候选人的论文时是否有用。作者报告称，这些标准似乎很有用，为审查论文提供了一些指导并便于沟通。这些标准可以作为适当的指导方针，用于提高论文质量以及护理质量。
