This article examines the art of nursing, through a systematic exploration of the literature and application of Rodgers's methodology for conducting a conceptual analysis. The phases of Rodgers's evolutionary approach are explained, including the selection of literary works and methods for data collection and analysis, and through the introduction of a model case. Although the literature revealed inconsistent interpretations and a dynamic conceptualization of the art of nursing, various meanings and contexts for understanding the art of nursing are presented, along with implications for advancing nursing knowledge and contemporary evidence related to the art of nursing.

Substantial attention has been given to action research. A systematic review was implemented in 2001 to provide a complete summary of existing action research studies, but there is no systematic exploration of action research publications for this millennium. The general objective of this study was to systematically retrieve and review empirical studies on action research methodologies from 2000 to 2014. The consecutive and structured process of searching, selecting and examining articles through the Matrix Method was elaborated clearly in this paper. This study has found a wide variety of action research paradigms, data collection, and analysis methods and this paper discussed action research quality from these three aspects. Actor-network theory was introduced to propose the Spectrum of action research paradigms. In addition, a new classification was presented to group all data collection methods into those conducted respectively by researchers, participants, and both. Six kinds of commonly used data analysis approaches were extracted. Limitations and conclusions of the study were articulated in this paper.

Spotting is a typical isolated head coordination used by many dancers during rotation. However, with sporadic and inconclusive explanations as to why dancers spot, the critical characteristics and functionalities of spotting have yet to be identified. Therefore, a Delphi method survey was used as a novel methodology for providing greater insights into this under-examined motor behavior, bringing together experts from various disciplines to generate ideas and identify the crucial elements of spotting. Following the selection of experts, three rounds of data collection and analysis were conducted to narrow down relevant topics and evaluate consensus. To gather opinions in Round 1, experts were asked to respond freely to three prompts regarding the reasoning, characteristics, and uses of successfully spotting; responses were then grouped into predominant items. To rate agreement in Round 2, experts rated their agreement on the relevance of the grouped items from Round 1 on a 5-point Likert scale; items rated 4 or 5 by at least 70% of the experts were taken as those consensually relevant to the group. To rank importance in Round 3, Best-Worst Scaling was used to determine individual rankings of the relevant items from Round 2. In a series of comparisons, experts were prompted to select the most and least important items in multiple sub-groupings. Group mean ranking of items as well as ranking concordance and differentiation were analyzed to determine the most important items and the strength of consensus, respectively. Overall, consensus and differentiation in experts’ item rankings were low; however, novel insights were presented. As characteristics of successfully spotting, experts emphasized head isolation, timing, and gaze specificity alongside functional characteristics, substantiating spotting as purposeful action in rotation. Building on traditional notions of spotting for reduced dizziness and maintaining balance, successfully spotting was further deemed useful for multiple turns, orientation, and rhythm. The findings of this study thus provide informed guidelines for future analysis and training of this complex head coordination in rotations.

This research at the beginning discusses the development of press releases that have been developed into various aspects, ranging from the media used, the themes presented, to the genres classified in a study. Departing from the research of Catenaccio (2008), this study wants to examine the structure created from that research, whether it is still relevant today and can show informative and promotional genres in a press release. Thanks to its freedom to be applied in various types of press releases, this research will choose a company based from a data that mentioned company that gained many profit during the Covid-19 pandemic and had many products released, which is Netflix. Data collection and analysis methods used in this study were convenience sampling and structural analysis from Catenaccio. Through convenience sampling, there are three articles selected up to June 15, those published on May 27, June 06 and June 10, 2021. The result of the analysis is that the structure of Catenaccio  which contains the format of writing press releases, does not match the format of writing press releases in Netflix, but main points such as leads, justifying the product, detailing the product and explicit promotional components still applicable and determine the genre in press releases. The genres of Netflix press releases are hybrid because they contain an informative and promotional genre. A new structure that has been modified in this study is also offered for further research, with a wider selection of press release articles and other data collection techniques.
