PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the major trends of research in the Journal of Korean Nursing Administration from 2007 to 2009.
METHOD
Research designs, participants, research domains, and key words were analyzed from the Journal of Korean Nursing Administration.
RESULTS
Job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job stress, turnover intention, nursing performance, self-efficiency, leadership, empowerment, nursing informatics, and quality control were the major key words commonly listed in the journal articles. Of the research in the Nursing Administration Journal, quantitative methods were used in 94.5% of the research studies and qualitative methods in only 5.5%. The major participants in the research were nurses, nurse managers, and patients. Statistical methods like ANOVA, correlation, t-test, regression, chi-square test, LISREL were the dominant method of analysis used in the research. The primary domains in the journal articles were directing, organizing, control, planning, and informatics.
CONCLUSION
Through this study, the trend of research in nursing administration can be identified. We recommend that collaboration, nurse work environment, evidence-based practice, scheduling, coaching, patient falls and safety, and positive culture should be included as topics for the future research.
