The purpose of this study is to provide a definition of adolescent friendship to aid in nursing research and practice.
Friendships are an essential part of adolescence and can have significant impacts on health outcomes. Adolescent friendships are associated with decreased depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and improved self-management of chronic conditions. However, the concept of friendship has not been well defined in the nursing literature, especially in the context of adolescents.
Walker and Avant's method of concept analysis was used as a framework for this analysis.
Seventeen articles were reviewed, representing a variety of disciplines including child development, psychology, sociology, behavioral sciences, medicine, education, public health, and nutrition. Additional sources included online definitions of friendship.
After reviewing the sources, the author identified attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Model case, a borderline case, and contrary case were developed and empirical referents identified.
The analysis resulted in a clear definition of adolescent friendship, containing the attributes of support, intimacy, affection, trust, ability to manage conflict, and time.
Understanding the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of adolescent friendships will help nurses in assessing and supporting these influential relationships during this important development period.
本研究旨在为青少年友谊提供一个定义，以辅助护理研究与实践。
友谊是青少年时期的重要组成部分，对健康结果会产生重大影响。青少年友谊与抑郁减轻、自杀意念减少、焦虑减轻以及慢性病自我管理能力提高相关。然而，友谊的概念在护理文献中并未得到很好的界定，尤其是在青少年背景下。
采用沃克和阿凡特的概念分析方法作为本分析的框架。
审查了17篇文章，这些文章代表了包括儿童发展、心理学、社会学、行为科学、医学、教育、公共卫生和营养等多个学科。其他来源包括友谊的在线定义。
在审查这些来源后，作者确定了属性、前因和后果。构建了模型案例、边界案例和相反案例，并确定了实证参照物。
分析得出了青少年友谊的明确定义，包含支持、亲密、喜爱、信任、冲突管理能力和时间等属性。
了解青少年友谊的属性、前因和后果，将有助于护士在这个重要的发展阶段评估和支持这些有影响力的关系。
