Sammanfattning
The quality of all Bachelor candidate
theses (n=39) at the Red
Cross University College of Nursing
in Stockholm during one
term 2004 were evaluated. The
theses were systematically reviewed
by using a criteria guide
developed for the study. The evaluation
was performed in two
steps. At first 21 separate parts in
the thesis were evaluated and thereafter
the logical structure. Each
area was assessed with a plus or
a minus. Finally, the supervisors
and examiners had the opportunity
to reflect on the results.
Almost all theses were relevant
for nursing and most fulfilled the
criteria for reference management,
formalities and language.
Approximately half of the thesis
fulfilled criteria for theoretical
framework, results, discussion of
results and conclusion. The greatest
shortcomings were in areas
of data analysis, abstract, ethical
considerations and the logical
structure of the thesis. There were
no relations between the results
and if the thesis had one or two
authors.
To improve the quality of the thesis
it is important to develop the
education in scientific methodology,
define distinct criteria,
develop a system that facilitates
the writing process and continues
in-service training.
