Licentiate theses in nursing science produced in Finland in 1982-87 are analysed in terms of their frame of reference, methodology, data collection techniques and analytical methods. The data were gathered by means of a content analysis using a list of themes specially constructed for this purpose and classified qualitatively on the basis of statements appearing in the theses. The majority of the theses were of a descriptive nature, usually employing a survey method. The most common means of data collection was by questionnaire, typically combining a number of such methods within the same work. The material was largely analysed by quantitative methods, with a qualitative approach adopted in only two cases. The theoretical frame of reference consisted of the theories of nursing science and the behavioural sciences, but two theses were found which did not make use of information from nursing science at all in their frame of reference, and three which developed their own theoretical models.
对1982 - 1987年在芬兰撰写的护理学硕士学位论文，从其理论框架、方法论、数据收集技术和分析方法等方面进行了分析。数据是通过内容分析收集的，为此专门构建了一个主题列表，并根据论文中出现的陈述进行定性分类。大多数论文具有描述性，通常采用调查方法。最常见的数据收集方式是问卷调查，通常在同一研究中结合多种此类方法。材料主要采用定量方法进行分析，只有两个案例采用了定性方法。理论框架参考了护理学和行为科学的理论，但发现有两篇论文在其理论框架中完全没有使用护理学的信息，还有三篇论文构建了自己的理论模型。
