Nursing is historically, ethically, and theoretically mandated to champion social justice.
To investigate how the concept of "social justice" has been explored in nursing research regarding extent, range, and nature.
The five-stage framework by Arksey and O'Malley was adopted, and JBI and PRISMA guidelines further informed the study. The search strategy comprised three steps: an initial search, a systematic search in several databases, and finally, a reference, citation, and gray literature search. A total of 55 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis.
Almost all the included studies were authored in the English-speaking world. Most studies were published from 2014 onward, and qualitative methods were by far the most prominent. A total of 13 specific definitions or understandings of social justice were identified. Five themes were identified across the included studies: (1) education, (2) concept, (3) theory, (4) public health and community nursing, and (5) maternal and child health.
The literature on social justice and nursing is limited, albeit growing. The conceptualization of social justice within nursing is becoming broader and more nuanced. Only a few studies have focused on specific patient groups or specialties.
从历史、伦理和理论角度来看，护理工作都肩负着捍卫社会正义的使命。
探讨在护理研究中，“社会正义”概念在范围、领域和本质方面是如何被研究的。
采用了阿克西和奥马利的五阶段框架，循证卫生保健国际协作网（JBI）和系统评价与Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南为该研究提供了进一步指导。检索策略包括三个步骤：初步检索、在多个数据库中进行系统检索，最后进行参考文献、引文和灰色文献检索。共有55项符合纳入标准的研究被纳入分析。
几乎所有纳入研究均由英语国家的作者撰写。大多数研究自2014年起发表，定性研究方法是目前最主要的方法。共确定了13种关于社会正义的具体定义或理解。在所纳入的研究中确定了五个主题：（1）教育，（2）概念，（3）理论，（4）公共卫生与社区护理，以及（5）母婴健康。
尽管关于社会正义与护理的文献数量有限，但仍在不断增加。护理领域内社会正义的概念正在变得更加宽泛和细致入微。仅有少数研究关注特定患者群体或专业领域。
