Abstract

AIM

The purposes of the study were to describe the extent of research, clinical and evidence-based practice articles published in clinical nursing journals and to explore the communication of research and practice knowledge in the clinical nursing literature using citation analysis.

BACKGROUND

For nursing research to have an impact on clinical practice and build evidence for practice, findings from research must transfer into the clinical practice literature. By analysing the extent of research published in clinical nursing journals, the citations in those articles, and other characteristics of the nursing literature, we can learn more about the linkages between research and practice in nursing.

DESIGN

This was a descriptive study of 768 articles and 18901 citations in those articles.

METHODS

Feature articles were classified into four groups - (i) original research reports; (ii) clinical practice articles (non-data based papers on a clinical topic); (iii) systematic reviews, integrative literature reviews, guidelines and papers describing evidence-based practice; and (iv) others. Each citation was then examined to determine if it was a reference to a research study or to a document on clinical practice.

RESULTS

Nearly a third of the articles in clinical nursing journals were reports on research studies; another third addressed clinical practice. Of the 14232 citations analysed in clinical nursing journals, 6142 were to research reports (43.2%) and about the same number of citations were to clinical documents (n = 5844, 41.1%). Medical research articles were cited most frequently - 27.1% of the citations in clinical journal articles. Nursing research articles were only 7.6% of the cited documents in clinical publications.

CONCLUSIONS

Dissemination of research findings in the clinical nursing literature occurred at two levels: through articles that reported studies of potential value to the nurse's practice and citations to research publications within articles. Relevance to clinical practice. Disseminating research in journals that are geared to clinicians is essential to increase nurses' awareness of research findings that might be relevant to their practice. This study documented that articles in clinical nursing journals disseminated not only information about clinical practice, but also informed readers about research of potential value to the nurse's practice.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在描述发表于临床护理期刊的研究、临床及循证实践文章的数量，并通过引文分析探讨临床护理文献中研究与实践知识的传播情况。

背景

为使护理研究对临床实践产生影响并为实践提供依据，研究结果必须转化为临床实践文献。通过分析临床护理期刊上发表的研究数量、这些文章中的引文以及护理文献的其他特征，我们可以更多地了解护理研究与实践之间的联系。

设计

这是一项对768篇文章及其中18901条引文的描述性研究。

方法

专题文章分为四组：（i）原始研究报告；（ii）临床实践文章（关于临床主题的非数据性论文）；（iii）系统评价、综合文献综述、指南及描述循证实践的论文；（iv）其他。然后检查每条引文，以确定其是否引用了一项研究或一份关于临床实践的文献。

结果

临床护理期刊中近三分之一的文章是研究报告；另有三分之一涉及临床实践。在临床护理期刊分析的14232条引文中，6142条引用了研究报告（43.2%），引用临床文献的数量大致相同（n = 5844，41.1%）。医学研究文章被引用的频率最高——占临床期刊文章引文中的27.1%。护理研究文章仅占临床出版物中被引用文献的7.6%。

结论

临床护理文献中研究结果的传播发生在两个层面：通过报告对护士实践有潜在价值的研究的文章以及文章中对研究出版物的引用。与临床实践的相关性。在面向临床医生的期刊上传播研究对于提高护士对可能与其实践相关的研究结果的认识至关重要。本研究证明，临床护理期刊中的文章不仅传播了有关临床实践的信息，还让读者了解了对护士实践有潜在价值的研究。
