Abstract
Few dissertation reports have been fully utilized in Public Health Nursing because of the
lack of content mapping, to help create a comprehensible body of existing knowledge. The main
purpose of the present study was to explore and classify a profile of doctoral dissertations completed
in Faculty of Public Health, specialty area of Public Health Nursing, at Mahidol University, Bangkok,
Thailand, in terms of research issues, designs and area and boundaries of nursing roles and functions.
The population and sample was twenty-four dissertation reports that were presented from 1985 to
2005. Data were collected by using sorting record cards. The data were analyzed using concept
mapping, meta analysis, and integrative review. Results showed that dissertations were conducted to
cover factors relevant to public health nursing roles and functions, health promotion, disease
prevention, primary care and rehabilitation. The investigations focused on individual, family and
community levels. Research designs focusing on a quantitative approach were the most frequent
pattern of investigation. Qualitative research and mixed approach were used only in a few reports.
As for meta analysis, it was found that 2 research projects had qualification to meet the required
criteria namely, the model of self-care for patients with hypertensions as the effective model to reduce
risk in hypertension. These findings suggest that content mapping of dissertations of Public Health
Nursing could facilitate and improve the nursing leader’s attention to and utilization of the results
to direct and change the nursing curriculum in order to achieve an increase in the academic excellence
of the nursing paradigm.
