Abstract:
PURPOSE: The aimof this study was to identify bibliographic characteristics and research trends of articles published in the Journal of Korean Clinical Nursing Research from2009 to 2015. METHODS: Descriptive statistics were used to analyze 268 articles. Bibliographic characteristics, appropriateness ofmethods for quantitative and qualitative studies, and key concepts of articles were analyzed. RESULTS: A clinical nurse was the first author for 184 (66.7%) articles. The number of collaborative works between hospital and university was 184 (68.7%). Study participants were patients (120, 38.1%), nurses (115, 36.5%) and others. IRB approval was given for 156 articles (58.2%). Written informed consent was obtained in 125 articles (46.7%). Quantitative research accounted for 98.6% of the articles but qualitative studies only 4 (1.4%). Types of interventions in the experimental studies were nursing skills (43, 42.6%) and health education (32, 31.7%). Major keywords were nurses, pain, knowledge, intensive care unit, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and stress. CONCLUSION: Articles in this journal deal with topics and concepts confronted in nursing practice so experimental studies on applicability of nursing interventions were frequently published. Findings in this study indicate that the authors published in the journal contribute to the development of nursing with characteristics distinctive from other nursing journals published in Korea.
