Abstract
The purpose of this research was to profile the current body of perianesthesia nursing research and extend the findings of previous integrative reviews completed on research from 1982 to 1993. The tables of contents from 18 nursing journals were examined and 31 studies met inclusion criteria. Findings indicated that some improvements were made by perianesthesia nurse researchers in using the scientific method. No studies replicated previously published research before 1994. Pediatric and elderly studies were scarce. Free-standing ambulatory surgery continues to be an under-represented research setting. © 2001 by American Society of periAnesthesia Nurses.
