The CINAHL and MEDLINE databases were used to conduct a review of international rural nursing research published between 2003 and 2007. In total, 41 articles were reviewed and organized based on the United Nations Human Development Index, which categorizes countries based on development status. Critical review of international rural nursing research yielded three major organizational themes: clinical issues, aspects of nursing practice, and nursing and health policy research. Despite the variety in international locale of the research, these themes and other common findings emerged. The need for increased access to specialized nursing knowledge, resources, and support is an ongoing issue facing nurses in rural and remote settings.
利用护理学与健康领域累积索引数据库（CINAHL）和医学期刊数据库（MEDLINE）对2003年至2007年间发表的国际农村护理研究进行综述。总共审查了41篇文章，并根据联合国人类发展指数进行整理，该指数根据发展状况对国家进行分类。对国际农村护理研究的批判性综述产生了三个主要组织主题：临床问题、护理实践方面以及护理与卫生政策研究。尽管研究的国际地点各不相同，但这些主题和其他共同发现还是出现了。农村和偏远地区的护士面临的一个持续问题是，需要增加获得专业护理知识、资源和支持的机会。
