The aim is to describe which persuasive tool from the triad of Aristotle (Ethos, Pathos and Logos) is most commonly used in editorials to convey visions and ideas in the nursing journals of the last 5 years (2014-2019). A descriptive qualitative study, based on content analysis, was performed in 2020 and summarized according to the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research principles. Two hundred and eighty-five editorials were included in the study, all of which were published in the top-five nursing journals, specifically, the International Journal of Nursing Studies (5-years Journal Impact Factor [5-Y JIF] = 5.022), the Journal of Nursing Scholarship (=3.374), the Journal of Advanced Nursing (=3.010), the Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing (2.990) and the Nursing Outlook (=2.867). Logos was the most widely used tool in 148 editorials (51.9%). Ethos was used in a quarter of them (n = 72, 25.3%) and the Pathos tool was used to a similar extent (n = 65, 22.8%). Logic is the most used tool for persuasion in nursing editorials; however, nurses who would capture the attention of the nursing community by writing an editorial should also consider the profiles of the potential readers, who might be attracted in different ways by logical-objective, ethical-moral, or emotional discourses.
目的是描述亚里士多德（Ethos、Pathos 和 Logos）三位一体中的哪种说服工具在过去 5 年（2014-2019 年）的护理期刊社论中最常被用来传达愿景和思想。这是一项描述性的定性研究，基于内容分析，于 2020 年进行，并根据统一的定性研究报告原则标准进行了总结。该研究共纳入 285 篇社论，均发表在排名前五的护理期刊上，具体为《国际护理研究杂志》（5 年期刊影响因子 [5-Y JIF] = 5.022）、《护理学术杂志》（=3.374）、《高级护理杂志》（=3.010）、《循证护理世界观》（2.990）和《护理展望》（=2.867）。在 148 篇社论中（51.9%）最广泛使用的工具是 Logos。四分之一的社论（n=72，25.3%）使用了 Ethos，而 Pathos 工具的使用程度相似（n=65，22.8%）。逻辑是护理社论中最常用的说服工具；然而，通过撰写社论吸引护理界关注的护士也应该考虑潜在读者的情况，他们可能会以不同的方式被逻辑客观、道德伦理或情感话语所吸引。
