Analysis of a decade of critical care nursing practice research: 1979 to 1988.
The purpose of this study was to analyze critical care nursing practice research published in leading refereed nursing research journals during the period from 1979 to 1988 to identify knowledge-building methods and research outcomes in critical care nursing. Findings indicate a significant increase in the number of nursing practice research studies published as well as a high percentage of intervention-oriented studies. The results of the study reflect the interest that critical care nurses have in identifying a research-based practice.
