The validation of nursing diagnostic concepts, interventions, and desired outcomes is necessary for the development of nursing science. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the development of more rigorous methods for research of nursing diagnoses. Methodologic problems and issues are discussed and illustrated in the context of a descriptive study of the nursing diagnoses of patients at a large long-term care facility. Issues surrounding the selection of setting and samples, the source and presentation of data collected, and methods used for data analysis and interpretation are described. The need for consistency among research questions, setting and sample, data collection methods, and data analysis and interpretation are emphasized. Researchers are encouraged to explicate the issues and decisions in nursing diagnosis research to encourage scholarly criticism and refinement by clinicians and scientists.
护理诊断概念、干预措施及预期结果的验证对护理科学发展至关重要。本文旨在为开发更严谨的护理诊断研究方法做出贡献。在对一家大型长期护理机构患者护理诊断进行描述性研究的背景下，讨论并举例说明了方法学问题。描述了围绕研究场所和样本选择、所收集数据的来源与呈现以及数据分析和解释所用方法的相关问题。强调了研究问题、研究场所和样本、数据收集方法以及数据分析和解释之间保持一致性的必要性。鼓励研究人员阐明护理诊断研究中的问题和决策，以促进临床医生和科学家进行学术批评和完善。
