This study provides research-based evidence to profile: (1) the roles of artificial intelligence in nursing; (2) its research applications; and (3) the research trends for future study. On the basis of the PRISMA statement, a series of AI and nursing education related keywords from the literature were used to retrieve high-quality journal articles…

The nursing profession is entering an exciting time of new professional opportunities. As the United States of America (USA) deals with its health care crisis, nursing is positioned to determine the trajectory of health care and health policy. However, nurses are underrepresented in major forums where they could be change agents on this new path.…

After an examination of the current issues related to the shortages of nurses and nursing faculty in the United States, the importance of facilitating the transition of interested nurse clinicians into their roles as nurse educators in order to address the decreased number of nurses and nursing faculty became apparent. Mentoring in nursing…

Registered Nurses (RNs), when educated in an Associate Degree (AD) program, learn in a face-to-face environment. Today's preferred standard of education for RNs is to achieve a minimum of a Bachelor's degree. For convenience while they continue working, numerous AD-prepared nurses seek online education to complete their Bachelor of Science in…

A comparison of 1975 and 1985 nursing journals reveals that more and better educated nurses are writing the profession's articles than was the case 15 years ago. Findings point to a significant growth in the professionalism of nursing literature. (Author)

Presents a framework for multisite clinical studies based on research in 17 hospitals. Five areas of key research tasks are addressed: general systems design, public relations, human resource issues, data quality, and data management. (SK)

Discusses ways in which practice-based research differs from traditional in terms of research questions, context, methods, dissemination, and assessment of merit. Suggests that a scholarship of practice requires a different lens, is consistent with a constructivist approach, and is immediately useful to practitioners. (Contains 32 references.) (SK)

Nursing intervention studies are much needed. However, careful delineation of independent variables and protocols is necessary to ensure the validity of results. (SK)

Ideally, nursing research is disseminated to healthcare providers and used by nurses in direct patient care. Dissemination within and beyond national borders can be achieved through integrated research methods, creative global collaborations, international research conferences, emphasis on dissemination and utilization in clinical settings,…

Provides demographic background, an historic perspective, a synthesis of Hispanic issues identified in government documents, a summary on the state-of-the-science for nursing research with Hispanics, and recommendations for future nursing research directions. (Contains 70 references.) (Author/JOW)

When school nurses embrace evidence-based practice (EBP), higher-quality care is provided to students, their families, and the larger community. Despite this, school nursing has been slow to embrace EBP. Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs), which capitalize on the combined strengths of clinicians and researchers to study clinical questions,…

Clinical scholarship begins with reflective observation of patients but differs from clinical research. It results in knowing based on informed, intelligent, and clinically grounded analysis. It is a more appropriate approach for some kinds of problems. (SK)

Describes Rosemary Rizzo Parse's Man-Living-Health theory that was used to describe how gerontological nursing knowledge could be developed through a nursing conceptual model that includes a defined practice and research methodology. (Author/JOW)

Problems with nursing theory include a gap between theory and practice, theory as ideology, theory's inability to reflect reality, and theory as a limiting force. Models of diversity may make theory a more useful tool. (SK)

Discusses a simple method for comparing nursing models, using a four-step framework: assessment, diagnosis plan, implementation, and evaluation. Uses four nursing models as illustrations--Henderson, Orem, Neuman, and Roy. (JOW)
