Abstract
The review of nursing research in this chapter includes studies published between 1952 and early 1982. Investigations pertaining to children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 18 years that were reported in major nursing research journals or maternal child nursing journals are included. Additionally, the review includes nursing studies reported in other nursing journals or journals of other disciplines and retrieved by computer searches, search of nursing indexes, review of reference lists of related studies, or informal contacts of the author. While these search techniques yielded a large number of studies for review, the limitations in formal indexing of nursing publications may have left relevant research unidentified.
