The abstract of articles were read in scrutiny, then the related researches selected, thereafter the full text of them was assessed carefully.
Results:
From searching the databases, 144 articles with "intuition and nursing" were found, 53 as original research, and 15 with inclusion criteria were selected. Most of the studies had qualitative approaches design as phenomenology (N=4), content analyses (N=2) and grounded theory (N=1), six was done for developing the instrument, and two studies have been conducted as descriptive method.
