title: [A picture of the Italian nursing scientific literature as a result of nursing journal analysis. First part: 1978-1997].
abstract: This is the result of a revision of what Italian nurses have written from 1978 to 1997 in Nursing Journals. Four well known Nursing Journals have been selected and taken into consideration: two are the only nursing refereed journals in the Country (one is a nursing Association official journal), one is the official journal of the National nursing Statutory Body and one is a specialty nursing Group journal. Articles has been divided into seven categories and results show that Italian nurses lack in the continuity of writing. Research and theory are the sectors where nurses write less.
