Interventions used in nursing research, with where to find the evidence.
Nursing studies test many kinds of interventions, from teaching methods to nurse-led care and non-drug comfort measures. This page groups 70 commonly studied interventions into nine areas, so you can compare options and shape your own research question.
Each card explains the intervention in one line, lists outcome measures researchers often use, and opens a PubMed search so you can read published studies.
Define the interventionState what is delivered, by whom, how often and for how long, so others can repeat it.
Match measures to outcomesChoose validated scales or objective indicators that fit the change you expect.
Read before you designScan recent studies for sample sizes, designs and limitations before planning yours.

Read the evidence criticallyThis page is a starting point, not a recommendation to use any intervention. Descriptions are brief, and PubMed results vary in quality. Appraise studies with a tool such as JBI or CASP, follow your institution's ethics review, and report your own intervention with the TIDieR checklist.
