Ziele: Identifikation deutschsprachiger randomisiert-kontrollierter Studien (RCTs) und systematischer Übersichtsartikel (systematic reviews) im Bereich Pflege, um die Aufnahme in systematische Übersichtsartikel zu ermöglichen. Quantitativer Vergleich zwischen deutschsprachiger und internationaler Pflegeforschung. Methode: Literaturrecherche in Datenbanken (Medline und CINAHL) und Handsuche in sieben Zeitschriften mit pflegerischem Bezug der Jahrgänge 1988–1997, zur Identifikation von RCTs und reviews, deren Erstautoren PflegewissenschaftlerInnen sind. Meßkriterien: Anzahl von RCTs durch Suche in Datenbanken und per Hand in Pflegezeitschriften. Forschungsaspekte in pflegerischen Studien. Ergebnisse: Für den Zeitraum 1988–1997 wurden 15 deutschsprachige RCTs mit pflegerischem Bezug ermittelt. Bei keiner dieser Studien waren PflegewissenschaftlerInnen Erstautoren. Die Handsuche in den durchsuchten Pflegezeitschriften war ergebnislos. Schlußfolgerung: Deutsche PflegeforscherInnen sollten qualitativ hochwertige Studiendesigns für Interventionsstudien auswählen, um den Anschluß an die internationale Pflegeforschung herzustellen.

The Way

Moral distress has received much attention in the international nursing literature in recent years. In this article, we describe the evolution of the concept of moral distress among nursing theorists from its initial delineation by the philosopher Jameton to its subsequent deployment as an umbrella concept describing the impact of moral constraints on health professionals and the patients for whom they care. The article raises worries about the way in which the concept of moral distress has been portrayed in some nursing research and expresses concern about the fact that research, so far, has been largely confined to determining the prevalence of experiences of moral distress among nurses. We conclude by proposing a reconsideration, possible reconstruction and multidisciplinary approach to understanding the experiences of all health professionals who have to make difficult moral judgements and decisions in complex situations.

The Given

While calling for culturally sensitive healthcare services in migrant communities, the international nursing literature on intercultural care predominantly describes nursing staff as lacking cultural competences and immigrant customers as lacking cleverness to navigate the labyrinths of national healthcare systems. Congruences in language, culture and religion in the customer-caregiver relationship can decisively improve the quality of care. However, they do not automatically guarantee smooth working processes in monocultural in-home settings. On the contrary, new problems occur here for Turkish caregivers which are unknown to the legions of native professionals who feel challenged by migrants and which go beyond differences such as age, sex, income or education. While no cultural or religious brokering is necessary between customers and personnel in the given context in Germany, new challenges arise when caregivers are expected to legally broker between customers and insurance companies or doctors. Conflicting expectations of customers and management as well as their own colliding social and professional roles put the caregivers in a quandary and must be competently managed.

Evidence gap maps (EGMs) are the concern of this column. A brief history of evidence summaries including literature and systematic reviews is presented followed by a discussion of the process of creating an evidence map. Then, concerns about a lack of inclusion of qualitative nursing research in particular are addressed.

The concepts of story and caring in nursing are inextricably connected. The focus of this article is to view various facets of the concepts and explore interpretations of story and caring from three nursing paradigms. The challenge for nursing is to refine methods of research and practice from each of the three perspectives. In the past, most of the nursing literature was written from a reductionistic or correlational view with little from the holistic view. Although in recent years more nursing articles have been written from a holistic paradigm, further development of holistic nursing research and practice is needed encompassing story and caring.
