Abstract

 Background: The profession of Nursing had grown across a range of application in liaison with almost all interprofessional disciplines and the role of nurses in healthcare is increasingly been recognized in a multidisciplinary collaborative framework. Objective: To critically summarize and identify the results of analyses of Nursing journals, published in journals indexed in PubMed.  Methods: A systematic overview and quantitative analysis of 46 published reviews was performed to identify relevant themes in nursing profession. Types of journals (nursing, other), between-journal comparison of articles, number of authors, types of methodological approach (descriptive or analytical) and domains of profession (practice, education, research and administration). All analyses were done descriptively using numbers and percentiles and were computed using SPSS version 17 for Windows (SPSS Inc, IL, Chicago). Results: Nursing journals (N=40) had published more articles than other journals (N=6). International Journal of Nursing Studies had published the greatest number of such articles (N=5), followed by Journal of Advanced Nursing (N=4), and Image Journal of Nursing Scholar (N=3). Articles on research (N=30) were much more than practice (N=8). Conclusion: The present study found that larger number of reviews and analyses of nursing journals were published in nursing journals, which confirmed the specificity of source of evidence retrieval for better decision-making.
