Nursing blood pressure research, 1980-1990: a bio-psycho-social perspective.
The purpose of this review is to examine nursing research on blood pressure (BP) from 1980 to 1990 from a bio-psycho-social perspective. Nursing research articles (N = 50) from three journals were reviewed. The inclusion of subject descriptions, environmental factors, dynamic and interpersonal aspects were tabulated. This review provides a basis for designing nursing research on BP with a broader perspective.
