Intervention studies in pediatric nursing research: a decade of review.
This article examines the pediatric nursing research published in seven refereed nursing research journals and pediatric practice journals over the past decade. Of the 319 research articles published, 16.6% were intervention studies that evaluated the outcomes of nursing care. Concerns are raised and suggestions made to strengthen the practice-research-theory link in the nursing care of children and their families.
