Abstract

Abstract:

Randomized controlled trial（RCT） is the most rigorous scientific method of evaluating interventions and validating new techniques in nursing. Scientific research papers are not only the carrier of scientific knowledge dissemination，but also an important way of academic thoughts exchange. However，the quality of published randomized controlled studies in nursing research is uneven，and the paper writing are not standard. Based on existing literature review，CONSORT statements，and experience in writing and reviewing papers，the authors expound on the overall structure of RCTs and the essentials of each section，and summarize the common issues，to provide references for researchers to standardize the writing of RCTs in nursing.

Key words: Randomized Controlled, Writing, Standardization, Nursing Care

摘要：

随机对照研究是评估护理干预技术最严谨的科学方法和手段。科研论文不仅是科学知识的传播载体，也是学术思想交流的重要途径。目前公开发表的中、英文护理类随机对照研究论文质量参差不齐，论文撰写的规范性欠佳。该文结合既往文献总结、报告规范及论文撰写和审稿经验，阐述随机对照研究论文的整体架构及各部分内容的撰写要点，总结论文撰写中的常见问题，以期为护理研究人员规范撰写随机对照研究论文提供参考。
