日本の看護師・看護学生・看護系教員を対象としたEvidence-based Practiceとその隣接領域の研究を特定するプロセス及び研究の特徴：探索的スコーピングレビュー

A Process for Identifying Studies in Evidence-Based Practice and Adjacent Areas and the Characteristics of the Studies Among Nurses, Nursing Students, and Nursing Faculty in Japan: An Exploratory Scoping Review

要旨

　目的：Evidence-based practice（EBP）とその隣接領域の研究を特定し，研究の特徴を明らかにすること．

　方法：2022年8月に医中誌WebとPubMedで，日本の看護師・看護学生・教員のEBPに関する研究結果を含む文献を検索した．文献のタイトル・抄録等に含まれるEBP関連用語を抽出・集計し，EBP関連研究と判定されなかった文献の具体例を記述した．

　結果：タイトル・抄録等にEBP関連用語を含む文献は745件で，EBP関連研究の可能性がある文献は186件であった．最も多く含まれたEBP関連用語は「エビデンス」に関する用語であった．また，「エビデンス」の意味が未記載，「エビデンスに基づく」はEBP以外の文脈で使われる文献もあった．

　結論：日本の看護師・看護学生・教員に関するEBP関連研究の文献は限られていた．EBP関連研究の文献を特定できるよう，論文報告の質改善が求められる．

　Aim: To identify research articles on evidence-based practice(EBP) and its adjacent areas to reveal the characteristics of the studies

　Methods: In August 2022, a literature search was conducted in Ichushi Web and PubMed for studies containing research results on EBP among Japanese nurses, nursing students, and nursing faculty. EBP-related terms from these literature titles and/or abstracts were extracted, tabulated, and also described examples that were not judged to be EBP-related studies.

　Results: Of the 745 articles that included EBP-related terms in the title or abstract, 186 were potentially EBP-related studies, including research findings with EBP. The most frequently included EBP-related terms were those related to "evidence." However, some articles did not state the meaning of "evidence" or have used "evidence" in a context that is different from its definition in EBP.

　Conclusion: Published EBP-related studies among Japanese nurses, nursing students, and nursing faculty are lacking. Thus, the quality of reporting EBP-related studies needs further improvement to identify such studies.
