摘要
背景：倾向得分匹配（PSM）在研究中的使用频率呈指数增长；然而，它在护理中的应用尚未被探索，并且可能未被充分利用。方法：对Web of Science文献数据库的两份出版物进行综合知识综合，目的如下：首先，确定当前护理PSM研究的内容；第二，确定护理观察性、回顾性或其他准实验性研究的内容；最后，在以上分析的基础上，探讨PSM在护理中进一步应用的可能性。结果：PSM在护理中的应用非常少，但观察性、回顾性和类似护理研究的数量和内容正在增加，并且越来越广泛。在观察护理研究中确定了10个多产的主题。在这些研究的基础上，一些有影响力的研究中，PSM已经成功地应用于类似的医疗保健主题，作为在护理中扩展PSM使用的机会。结论：正如在卫生保健学科中所显示的那样，在护理研究中广泛使用PSM可以使护理研究更加一致、相关、内部和外部有效，从而在临床实践和研究中更有用。
Propensity Score Matching: Identifying Opportunities for Future Use in Nursing Studies.
Background: The frequency of propensity score matching (PSM) use in research is exponentially increasing; however, its use in nursing has not yet been explored and is possibly underused. Methods: Synthetic knowledge synthesis has been used on two corpora of publications from the Web of Science bibliographic database for the following purposes: first, to identify the content of the current nursing PSM studies; second, to identify the content of nursing observational, retrospective, or other quasi-experimental studies; and finally, based on the above analyses, to explore new possibilities for further use of PSM in nursing. Findings: The use of PSM in nursing is very sparse, but the number and content of observational, retrospective, and similar nursing research is increasing and becoming more extensive. Ten prolific themes in observational nursing studies were identified. Based on these studies, several influential studies in which PSM has already been successfully used in comparable healthcare topics have been selected as opportunities for extended PSM use in nursing. Conclusions: As shown in the healthcare disciplines, the extended use of PSM in nursing research might make nursing research more consistent, relevant, internally and externally valid, and consequently more useful in clinical practice and research.
期刊介绍：
Nursing Reports is an open access, peer-reviewed, online-only journal that aims to influence the art and science of nursing by making rigorously conducted research accessible and understood to the full spectrum of practicing nurses, academics, educators and interested members of the public. The journal represents an exhilarating opportunity to make a unique and significant contribution to nursing and the wider community by addressing topics, theories and issues that concern the whole field of Nursing Science, including research, practice, policy and education. The primary intent of the journal is to present scientifically sound and influential empirical and theoretical studies, critical reviews and open debates to the global community of nurses. Short reports, opinions and insight into the plight of nurses the world-over will provide a voice for those of all cultures, governments and perspectives. The emphasis of Nursing Reports will be on ensuring that the highest quality of evidence and contribution is made available to the greatest number of nurses. Nursing Reports aims to make original, evidence-based, peer-reviewed research available to the global community of nurses and to interested members of the public. In addition, reviews of the literature, open debates on professional issues and short reports from around the world are invited to contribute to our vibrant and dynamic journal. All published work will adhere to the most stringent ethical standards and journalistic principles of fairness, worth and credibility. Our journal publishes Editorials, Original Articles, Review articles, Critical Debates, Short Reports from Around the Globe and Letters to the Editor.
