The adoption of a controlled nursing vocabulary in Finnish scientific journals.
"Hoidokki" is a Finnish controlled nursing vocabulary for indexing and information retrieval purposes. Its second edition includes nearly 1000 terms. In this study, the congruence between the key words of three Finnish scientific nursing journals and the vocabulary was explored. Also, the content of the vocabulary was validated. The data included key words (N=208) used in 49 articles of three scientific journals in 2006. Two experts used content analysis to judge each key word and inter-rater reliability was calculated. Delphi-method was used to evaluate the potential new terms.
