目的:在护理研究报告中准确描述干预措施是必要的,作为护理实践的基础,并促进未来的研究。本项目的目的是表征护理干预research reports.Design和方法的干预描述:定量内容分析被用来分析在2005年期间发表在英文普通护理期刊的报告中的干预描述。规范分析被用来检查报告的细节有关的干预内容和交付。物理单元分析被用来比较相对量的文章空间专门干预描述与其他methodologydetails.Findings:结果制成表格的141篇研究文章发表在27种期刊。分析表明,许多文章对干预措施的详细情况报告不完整。剂量和给药频率很少完全定义。分娩环境和干预者往往没有指出,护士干预者的专业资格往往不清楚。虽然对涉及物质或设备的干预措施的描述通常很详细,但往往缺乏心理、教育、行为和系统层面干预措施的细节。干预描述平均占总文章空间的7.27%,而非干预方法描述平均占空间的20.74%。研究检查,只有38(27.0%)报告足够的细节,可能复制的研究或翻译的干预practice.Conclusions:在一般护理期刊的干预描述缺乏足够的细节,提供证据的基础上实践。
Purpose: Precisely described interventions in nursing research reports are essential as a foundation for nursing practice and to facilitate future research. The purpose of this project was to characterize the intervention descriptions in nursing intervention research reports.Design and Methods: Quantitative content analysis was used to analyze intervention descriptions in reports published in English-language general nursing journals during 2005. Normative analysis was used to examine reports for details related to intervention content and delivery. Physical unit analysis was used to compare relative amounts of article space devoted to intervention description vs. other methodological details.Findings: Results were tabulated for 141 research articles published in 27 journals. Analysis indicated incomplete reporting of intervention details in many articles. Dose and dosing frequency were rarely completely defined. Delivery setting and interventionist were frequently not indicated, and the professional credentials of nurse interventionists were often unclear. While descriptions of interventions involving substances or devices were typically detailed, the specifics of psychological, educational, behavioral, and systems-level interventions were often lacking. Intervention descriptions averaged 7.27% of total article space, whereas nonintervention methodological descriptions averaged 20.74% of space. Of studies examined, only 38 (27.0%) reported enough detail to potentially replicate the study or translate the intervention into practice.Conclusions: Intervention descriptions in general nursing journals lack sufficient detail to provide the evidence basis for practice.
