This study was attempted to suggest a direction for future research on good death by analyzing and synthesizing research trends on good death. For this purpose, 66 articles related to good death published in academic journals in Korea from 2011 to 2021 were analyzed based on the analysis frame of references. As a result, the year with the most good death studies was 2019 (18.2%). In the analysis by research design, 52 articles (78.8%) were the most quantitative studies, and 36 studies (54.5%) were survey studies. In the field of research, nursing studies were the most researched with 47 articles (71.2%), but multidisciplinary studies were three articles (4.5%). The subjects of the good death study were mainly the aged in the community and nursing students, each of which was 13 (19.7%), but the studies for patients were published only four articles (6.1%). The most used tool was the perception of a good death and conducted in in 38 articles (73.1%). The main research variables were the the perception of good death and hospice palliative and end-of-life care, and family support was used as mediating variables. Therefore, not only multidisciplinary research but also development research for vaious good death instruments may be suggested to comprehensively understand good death.

This study was attempted to suggest future directions for nursing ethics education by analyzing research trends related to ethical conflicts among nurses and the current status of nursing ethics education. In four domestic databases, it was searched as a combination of words 'nurse', 'ethics', 'moral', 'bioethics', 'conflict', 'sensitivity', 'dilemma', 'issue', and 'value'. As a result, 591 papers were confirmed from 2000 to December 2021, of which 111 papers were finally analyzed. The status of nursing ethics education was analyzed for 184 out of 203 schools that operated a four-year bachelor's degree program registered with the Korean Accreditation Board of Nursing Education. As a result of the study, the number of studies related to ethical conflicts among nurses steadily increasing, and quantitative studies on nurses in general hospitals were the most common. The main keywords were identified as moral sensitivity, moral agony, ethical dilemma, and biomedical ethics awareness. Nursing ethics education was operated by 68% of universities as a major subject, and more than half of universities opened it in the first and second grades with one or two credits. As a result of this study, ethical conflicts experienced by nurses are increasing according to social change. Therefore, it is necessary for universities to further expand the proportion of nursing ethics education and to establish an educational model for each grade level for the continuity of the educational effect.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the trend of nursing theories by Korean Journal of Adult Nursing (KJAN) for the last five years and to provide future directions for improvement. Methods: The study analyzed data collected from 323 research papers published in KJAN between 2010~2014. Descriptive analysis was conducted with a focus on frequency and percentage for the quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis was performed for the analysis of nursing theories. Results: As for research topics, the analysis results based on the meta-paradigm of nursing show that the most frequent factors of analysis were adult patients in the area of human beings, hospitals in the area of environment, depression, anxiety, and suicide in the area of health, and all the influential factors in the area of nursing. The analysis results of uses of nursing theories in the papers reveal that only 4(1.2%) out of total 323 papers used the nursing theories, which indicates that the linkage and utilization of nursing theories in the published papers for the last five years were poor. Conclusion: We needs to make efforts at the society level to activate nursing theory utilization in research which is beloved to connect nursing practice, education, and research.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the approaches, methods and questions asked in intensive care unit studies published in Korean journals and the American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC) from 1992 to 2011. Only quantitative studies were reviewed. Methods: A total of 144 studies published in four Korean Journals and 521 studies published in American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC) were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The most frequently used research design reported in Korean journals were surveys (83.5%), protocol development (10.1%), and randomized controlled trials (6.2%). In AJCC, the most frequently reported design was survey research (90.4%) and randomized controlled trials (16.1%). The most frequent nursing intervention reported in the AJCC was tube care (10.8%), and in Korean journals the intervention of suctioning (10.8%). In Korea, nurses were more likely to study instrument measurements (31.0%) and positioning (13.5%). In reported studies in the AJCC there were more reports on emotional support, exercise, and measurement research. Conclusion: There is overlap in the type of studies between the two countries in term of study design, whereas the types of nursing problems studied differed in United States and Korea. The result suggests that there were gaps and those more diverse studies and physiological measurements are needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the major trends in research studies in the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration from 2010 to 2012. Methods: A review using analysis criteria developed by researchers was done of 132 studies published between 2010 and 2012. Research design, participants, research domain, and keywords were analyzed from the Journal of Korean Nursing Administration. Results: Job satisfaction, stress, organizational commitment, safety, turnover, nursing education, and performance were found to be major keywords. Of the research in the Journal, quantitative methods were used in 93.2% of studies. The major setting and participants were hospitals (58.2%) and nurses (65.5%) respectively. Prevalent analysis methods used were t-test, ANOVA, correlation, regression, chi-square, AMOS, and factor analysis. Major domains in the articles were: controlling, directing, staffing, nursing management education, and professionalism & legal principles. Conclusion: Through this study, the research trends in nursing administration were identified, but there is a need to include more of the following topics in future research: new concepts in nursing policy, enhanced deliberations of IRB, rationalization of the effects in sample size calculations, theoretical development of planning and organizing, and development of interventions for management support of the nursing management process.

The Scoping strategy was applied, the 12 published literature were analyzed according to the selection criterion and exclusion criterion among 604 published literature retrieved through 8 electronic databases. The results of this present study showed that most research was conducted on elementary school students, and types of intervention programs were art therapy, music activities, psychotherapy, and physical activities. This study suggests the need for intervention to prevent and promote health problems among children and adolescents in multicultural families, and the necessity of preparing intervention strategies including physical, psychological, and developmental areas.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the research trends of articles published in the Journal of Korean Clinical Nursing Research from 2000 to 2017 by a text network analysis using keywords. Methods: This study analyzed 600 articles. The R program was used for text mining that extracted frequency, centrality rank, and keyword network. Results: From 2000 to 2009, keywords with high-frequency were 'nurse', 'pain', 'anxiety', 'knowledge', 'attitude', and so on. 'Pain', 'nurse', and 'knowledge' showed a high centrality. 'Fatigue' showed no high frequency but a high centrality. Keywords such as 'nurse', 'knowledge', and 'pain' also showed high frequency and centrality between 2010 and 2017. 'Hemodialysis' and 'intensive care unit' were added to keywords with high frequency and centrality during the period. Conclusion: The frequency and centrality of keywords such as 'nurse', 'pain', 'knowledge', 'hemodialysis', and 'intensive care unit' reflect the research trends in clinical nursing between 2000 and 2017. Further studies need to expand the keyword networks by connecting the main keywords.
