Summary
This bibliometric analysis reveals trends in Arab nursing research. Increased funding is needed to disseminate findings and improve culturally competent care for Arab populations globally.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Nursing Research
- Global Health
Background:
- Nursing research is increasingly global, necessitating culturally competent care for diverse populations.
- Arabs represent a growing demographic in Western countries, highlighting the need for region-specific health research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct the first bibliometric analysis of nursing research from the Arab region up to December 2017.
- To identify publication trends, collaboration patterns, and impact of Arab nursing research.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative and qualitative indicators were used.
- Bibliometric data were analyzed from the Scopus database.
Main Results:
- Detailed data on Arab nursing publication output, growth trends, document types, geographic focus, and subject categories were presented.
- Analysis included authors' collaboration patterns, core publishing journals, their impact, and citation patterns.
Conclusions:
- Arab policymakers and funding agencies should increase research funding to disseminate Arab nursing research globally.
- Findings inform Western researchers and healthcare providers on addressing the health needs of Arab individuals and families.
- The study discusses journal, author, country, and institutional performance in the context of academic 'publish-or-perish' culture.

01:03IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region
1.9K
IR spectra are divided into two main regions: the diagnostic region and the fingerprint region. The diagnostic region of the spectrum lies above 1500 cm−1. The absorptions resulting from single-bond vibrations of the N–H, C–H, and O–H stretch at higher wavenumbers and appear on the left side of the spectrum. The stretching absorptions of the C≡C and C≡N occur between 2100–2300 cm−1. In contrast, those arising from stretching absorptions of the...

02:40The Eukaryotic Promoter Region
18.8K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences. The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

01:17Region of Convergence
924
The z-transform is a powerful mathematical tool used in the analysis of discrete-time signals and systems. It is a crucial tool in the analysis of discrete-time systems, but its convergence is limited to specific values of the complex variable z. This range of values, known as the Region of Convergence (ROC), is fundamental in determining the behavior and stability of a system or signal. The ROC defines the region in the complex plane where the z-transform converges, which can take various...

01:12Regional Terms
15.5K
Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

3.9K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
