title: Articles published in Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences between 1987 and 1991.
abstract: Nursing, occupational therapy and physiotherapy are new as areas of research in the Nordic countries. Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, the first scientific journal based in the Nordic countries for these research areas was established in 1987. In this article the first five volumes of the journal are reviewed. The study revealed a growing number of manuscripts submitted and an increase of pages per volume. Most articles came from nurses in Sweden. However, other disciplines were represented and papers came from all the Nordic countries and also from countries outside Scandinavia. In most articles patients were studied and both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used.
