Pre-registration psychiatric nursing education, in the Republic of Ireland, has recently moved to a 4-year degree programme, with the first cohort of psychiatric nursing graduants graduating in 2006. In addition, a number of other policy initiatives have taken place that will have a significant impact on psychiatric nursing practice, education and research activity. To provide a baseline for future benchmarking and evaluation, the year 2005 seemed an appropriate time to reflect on and record publications by psychiatric nurses in the Republic of Ireland. This article reports the findings of a study undertaken to identify psychiatric nursing publications in peer-reviewed journals, with a view to establishing trends in publication, such as the type of publication, subject area and journal type. Emerging trends are identified and discussed in light of concurrent changes in psychiatric nursing and mental health care, and suggestions are made for future development of publication capacity.
在爱尔兰共和国，预注册精神科护理教育最近已转变为一个为期4年的学位课程，首批精神科护理专业毕业生于2006年毕业。此外，还实施了一些其他政策举措，这些举措将对精神科护理实践、教育和研究活动产生重大影响。为了为未来的基准测试和评估提供一个基线，2005年似乎是反思和记录爱尔兰共和国精神科护士发表的出版物的合适时机。本文报告了一项研究的结果，该研究旨在识别同行评审期刊上的精神科护理出版物，以期确定出版趋势，如出版物类型、主题领域和期刊类型。根据精神科护理和精神卫生保健的同步变化，确定并讨论了新出现的趋势，并对未来出版能力的发展提出了建议。
