Abstract
Purpose: Clinical reasoning is an essential component of nursing education. This study aimed to identify the trends in research on clinical reasoning in nursing over a 22-year period.Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection was used as the target database, with the search terms “clinical reasoning,” “clinical judgement,” and “clinical decision.” The scope of the search included the subject, abstract, author’s keywords, and Keywords Plus for each article. Our literature search included journal articles from 2000 to 2021, with the subject area restricted to nursing. A total of 4,675 articles met the inclusion criteria after the removal of duplicates using digital object identifier. We used bibliometric analyses to conduct quantitative and statistical analyses of publication trends, the journals and countries with the most publications, the most productive authors, the most globally cited documents, and the most frequent keywords.Results: In nursing, studies related to clinical reasoning have increased significantly since 2000. The most prolific country has been the United States. The journal with the most publications was the Journal of Clinical Nursing. The most productive author was Considine J, with 23 publications. The most widely cited author was Tanner CA, with 614 citations. The most frequent keywords in the literature related to clinical reasoning were “care,” “nurses,” and “decision-making,” in that order.Conclusion: This study examined the quantitative analysis and statistics of publications related to clinical reasoning in nursing in the past 20 years using bibliographic information. This study can help guide future research on clinical reasoning for nurse educators.
目的:临床推理是护理教育的重要组成部分。本研究旨在确定临床推理研究在护理22年期间的趋势。方法:以Web of Science核心合集为目标数据库,检索词为“临床推理”、“临床判断”和“临床决策”。搜索的范围包括每篇文章的主题、摘要、作者关键字和关键字加。我们的文献检索包括2000年至2021年的期刊文章,主题领域仅限于护理。在使用数字对象标识符删除重复条目后,共有4,675篇文章符合纳入标准。我们使用文献计量学分析对出版趋势、发表最多的期刊和国家、最高产的作者、全球引用最多的文献和最常见的关键词进行了定量和统计分析。结果:在护理学中,临床推理相关的研究自2000年以来显著增加。最多产的国家是美国。发表最多的期刊是《临床护理杂志》。最多产的作者是Considine J,发表了23篇文章。被引用最多的作者是Tanner CA,被引用614次。与临床推理相关的文献中最常见的关键词依次是“护理”、“护士”和“决策”。结论:本研究利用文献资料对近20年来护理学临床推理相关文献进行了定量分析和统计。本研究对护理教育工作者临床推理的研究具有指导意义。
期刊介绍:
Science Editing (Sci Ed) is the official journal of the Korean Council of Science Editors (https://kcse.org) and Council of Asian Science Editors (https://asianeditor.org). It aims to improve the culture and health of human being by promoting the quality of editing and publishing scientific, technical, and medical journals. Expected readers are editors, publishers, reviewers, and authors of the journals around the world; however, specially focused to those in Asia. Since scholarly journals in Asia are mostly published by the academic societies, universities, or non-profit organizations, Sci Ed is sought to play a role in journal development. The number of publications from Asia is increasing rapidly and overpass that of other continents; meanwhile, the number of international journals and highly appreciated journals is yet to be coming forward. It is task of Asian editors to pledge the journal quality and broaden the visibility and accessibility. Therefore, its scope includes the followings in the field of science, technology, and medicine.
