Abstract:
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is one of the essential components of nephrology nursing. Reviews of such evidence are important as a means to synthesize research findings into one meaningful form of data. Publication trends of evidence reviews in nephrology nursing are unknown. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify trends in publications of evidence reviews in the Nephrology Nursing Journal. Titles of all publications in the Nephrology Nursing Journal from January 2003 to September/October 2018 were reviewed. A total of 23 evidence reviews were identified and formed the basis of this systematic review. Narrative analysis and concept mapping were used to synthesize data. There was a trend toward systematic reviews of quantitative studies, as well as evidence reviews that focused on the topics of quality of life and access to health services. The need for systematic rigorous reporting is recommended for EBP, as well as future reviews on identified priority areas of research.
