This systematic literature review aimed to identify, appraise and synthesize available research studies that apply intersectionality in nursing research.
Systematic review.
Empirical and theoretical nursing studies published before February 2022 were identified from the PubMed and CINAHL databases. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they substantially covered the topics of intersectionality and nursing, had undergone peer-review, and were written in English.
The PRISMA 2020 statement for reporting systematic reviews was used to report findings. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools were used to assess the quality of the included research studies.
Out of 331 identified studies, 60 studies were substantially about nursing and intersectionality, and were included in the review. There are a myriad of ways that the concept of intersectionality has been adopted in nursing research. Furthermore, there was great heterogeneity in the definition and application of the concept of intersectionality, and only a few studies were empirical.
There is a need for robust and clear framing of how the concept of intersectionality is defined and understood in nursing research. There is also a need for more empirical research effectively adopting the concept of intersectionality to enhance our understanding of how health inequities operate within the field of nursing.
No patients, service users, caregivers or members of the public were involved in this work.
本系统文献综述旨在识别、评价和综合现有应用于护理研究的交叉性研究。
系统综述。
从 PubMed 和 CINAHL 数据库中确定了 2022 年 2 月之前发表的实证和理论护理研究。如果研究实质性地涵盖了交叉性和护理的主题、经过同行评审且以英文撰写，则有资格纳入。
采用 PRISMA 2020 声明报告系统评价结果。采用 Joanna Briggs 研究所批判性评估工具评估纳入研究的质量。
在 331 项已确定的研究中，有 60 项研究主要涉及护理和交叉性，并纳入了综述。有许多方法可以在护理研究中采用交叉性的概念。此外，该概念的定义和应用存在很大的异质性，只有少数研究是实证研究。
在护理研究中，需要明确和清晰地阐述交叉性概念的定义和理解方式。还需要更多实证研究有效地采用交叉性概念，以增进我们对护理领域中健康不平等现象是如何运作的理解。
这项工作没有涉及患者、服务使用者、护理人员或公众成员。
