ABSTRACT (250-350 words) (note: authors from Thailand: include a copy of the abstract in Thai).

Structure your study abstract with four numbered sub-headings and information as follows:

ABSTRACT

      1. Background/Research Problem: Describe the background/significance of the study
           and the research problem/gap,
      2. Aim/Hypothesis or Major research questions
      3. Methods: Clearly describe the study design; brief description/number of study
           participants and the study setting; the major methods used to collect and analyze
           data; the proper names of any instruments used; the proper title of an intervention;
           and how the data were analyzed. 
      4. Results (or Findings if a qualitative paper): Outline the major findings. Authors may
           include statistically significant statistics but keep them to a minimum.
      5. Conclusions/Implications for Nursing Practice. Summarize the conclusion of your
           study; outline the implications for nurses/nursing practice. Include any significant
           limitations of the study.

Keywords: (up to 10 in alphabetical order. Use terms listed in MeSH, CINAHL or PubMed)

Running order for body of research papers: the following numbered sections and subsections should be included in your paper in bold. It is a good idea to copy these headings and subheadings into a blank file, then fill in the content. Ensure there is no duplication of content in various sections of the manuscript.

Authors of Review Papers: Include sections below as appropriate, but also follow the particular guideline you are using for your review.  Headings/content will be determined by the processes used.
