Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Anesthesia Practice
  • Healthcare Studies

Background:

  • A follow-up study analyzed nurse anesthesia research trends.
  • Compared research from the 1990s with earlier periods (1975-1976, 1985-1986).
  • Included studies from the AANA journal and other nursing/medical publications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the volume and focus of nurse anesthesia research over time.
  • To identify trends in theoretical orientation, sampling, and methodological reporting.
  • To provide recommendations for future nurse anesthesia research.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and comparative analysis of published research.
  • Inclusion of studies from the AANA journal (1995-1996) and other journals (1995-1996).
  • Comparison with previously analyzed research from 1975-1976 and 1985-1986.

Main Results:

  • A steady increase in published nurse anesthesia research was observed.
  • Research focus remained stable on clinical practice, with increased attention to education and safety.
  • All studies in the 1990s showed theoretical orientation; convenience samples of hospitalized patients were common.
  • Minimal reporting on data reliability, validity, and psychometric evaluation persisted.

Conclusions:

  • Nurse anesthesia research has expanded, particularly in educational and safety areas.
  • Methodological rigor, including reliability and validity reporting, needs improvement.
  • Recommendations emphasize enhanced methodological studies, multisite research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
