  • Title: A review of research on religious and spiritual variables in two primary gerontological nursing journals: 1991 to 1997.
    Author: Weaver AJ, Flannelly LT, Flannelly KJ.
    Journal: J Gerontol Nurs; 2001 Sep; 27(9):47-54. PubMed ID: 11820556.
    Abstract:
    All articles published between 1991 and 1997 in the Journal of Gerontological Nursing and Geriatric Nursing were classified as qualitative research, quantitative research, or non-research. Of the 784 articles reviewed, 5.1% mentioned religion or spirituality. Research articles (7.7%) were more likely than non-research articles (2.8%) to address religion and spirituality. No statistical difference was found between the percentage of qualitative (10.7%) and quantitative (6.8%) studies addressing religious and spiritual factors. The percentage of quantitative studies including religious and spiritual variables was found to be higher than that found by systematic reviews of the research literature in various health professions.
