Abstract

Purpose
This study was to identify the trend of nursing research on addiction and to make suggestion for further study in Korea.
Methods
The study was conducted by analysing the 87 articles which at least one nursing scholar participated in the study on addiction.
Results
There was not a remarkable increase in the number of studies in the later 1990s. Most of studies were carried on alcohol or internet addiction and drug abuse by survey. Some were qusi-experimental designed for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention. Many instruments were applied but not consistently used. The researchers studied on the relation between anxiety, despair, loneliness, aggression, and self-concept. However, there has been few addiction and depression, studies on self-regulation, though it is considered a very important concept. Socio-psychological interventions to reduce stress or negative emotion and promote self-confidence were mostly applied.
Conclusion
More effort is needed on the qualitative and quantitative studies of various addictions. Furthermore, collaborative research project should be designed for conclusive outcome on the development of valid instruments, and the development of preventive and therapy intervention that is socio-culturally appropriate for family as well as patient.
