Dear Carol,
Regarding your post: <<Another thing that makes me crazy is the idea that
nursing research is somehow less true than medical research.>>
Well, this attitude exists even to PubMed policyw hich is why my 1st 1988
publication has no abstract listed...and they will not add it now. Staff
explained to me that PubMed/Medline/etc does NOT post Nursing or Dental
Abstracts I before 1990? (I believe it was).
This is just more blatent BIAS in MEDICAL RESEARCH, which is admittedly 50+%.
But it is a different kind of BIAS. It is BIAS by exclusion which has been a
factor for decades and still today. This BIAS takes overall MEDICAL BIAS well
ove 50+%. I prefer to call it "IGNORANT" MEDICAL BIAS.
Sincerely,
