Aim:
The objective of this study was to investigate nursing research, including topics, funding and publication.
Method:
A database of published biomedical research set up by the Wellcome Trust was analysed for nursing research.
Results:
Topics covered in nursing research were found to be diverse, with mental health nursing and nurse education the major areas. Multi-authorship is lower than in biomedical research generally. The most prolific areas of publication are London SE postcodes and Manchester. Only about a third of nursing research appears to be funded.
Conclusion:
Nursing research was found to be the fastest growing field of biomedical research during the period analysed (1988-1995).
