In Finland nursing education and research in universities was established in 1979. Research in nursing, however, was done in some amount even before in other disciplines and in the Institute of Nursing Research. In this article, nursing research during 1958-1995 is described, based on the articles in the Finnish Yearbook of Nursing (1958-1988), in the Journal of Nursing Science (Hoitotiede, 1989-1995) and academic licentiate and doctoral dissertations. The analysis indicates strong growth of nursing research in Finland since 1950s. The content of research is multidimensional. The nature of research is quantitative and descriptive; many of the doctoral dissertations in 1990s are qualitative. The research interest has been mainly the patient. Articles in research methods and concept analysis are rare.
1979年，芬兰的大学开始开展护理教育与研究。不过，在这之前，其他学科以及护理研究所就已经开展了一定数量的护理研究。本文依据《芬兰护理年鉴》（1958 - 1988年）、《护理科学杂志》（《护理研究》，1989 - 1995年）以及学术硕士和博士学位论文中的文章，描述了1958 - 1995年间的护理研究情况。分析表明，自20世纪50年代以来，芬兰的护理研究发展迅猛。研究内容具有多维度性。研究性质以定量和描述性为主；20世纪90年代的许多博士学位论文属于定性研究。研究兴趣主要集中在患者身上。关于研究方法和概念分析的文章较为少见。
