Distant Reader - keyword-nurse-cord

Introduction

This is a Distant Reader "study carrel", a set of structured data intended to help the student, researcher, or scholar use & understand a corpus.

This study carrel was created on 2021-05-25 by Eric Morgan <emorgan@nd.edu>. The carrel was created using the Distant Reader cord process, and the input was the result of a query applied to a local mirror of CORD, a data set of scholarly articles on the topic of COVID-19. The actual query was: keywords:nurse. The results of this query were saved in a cache and transformed into a set of plain text files. All of the analysis -- "reading" -- has been done against these plain text files. For example, a short narrative report has been created. This Web page is a more verbose version of that report.

All study carrels are self-contained -- no Internet connection is necessary to use them. Download this carrel for offline reading. The carrel is made up of many subdirectories and data files. The manifest describes each one in greater detail.

Size

There are 62 item(s) in this carrel, and this carrel is 232,037 words long. Each item in your study carrel is, on average, 3,742 words long. If you dig deeper, then you might want to save yourself some time by reading a shorter item. On the other hand, if your desire is for more detail, then you might consider reading a longer item. The following charts illustrate the overall size of the carrel.

Readability

On a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is very difficult and 100 is very easy, the documents have an average readability score of 53. Consequently, if you want to read something more simplistic, then consider a document with a higher score. If you want something more specialized, then consider something with a lower score. The following charts illustrate the overall readability of the carrel.

Word Frequencies

By merely counting & tabulating the frequency of individual words or phrases, you can begin to get an understanding of the carrel's "aboutness". Excluding "stop words", some of the more frequent words include:

nurses, care, nursing, health, nurse, study, work, patients, patient, covid, hospital, i, burnout, research, may, data, also, support, disaster, practice, one, stress, job, time, among, studies, professional, staff, working, review, will, reported, hospitals, related, medical, level, public, emergency, high, education, used, psychological, well, analysis, factors, clinical, need, pandemic, satisfaction, healthcare

Using the three most frequent words, the three files containing all of those words the most are What is known about paediatric nurse burnout: a scoping review, Evolution of Intensive Care Unit Nursing, and Troubling care in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The most frequent two-word phrases (bigrams) include:

health care, job satisfaction, public health, mental health, intensive care, critical care, health problems, frontline nurses, turnover intention, nurse staffing, professional identity, united states, nurse leaders, nurses working, among nurses, patient care, patient rooms, doc id, cord uid, nursing staff, systematic review, emergency nurses, registered nurses, depressive symptoms, dual practice, nursing care, shift work, protective equipment, nursing workforce, disaster nursing, kangaroo care, nurse station, care workers, patient safety, nursing practice, novel coronavirus, care nurses, nursing education, patient outcomes, emotional exhaustion, work environment, primary studies, traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, clinical nurses, care unit, data collection, social support, systematic reviews, school nurses

And the three file that use all of the three most frequent phrases are Regional differences in job satisfaction for mainland Chinese nurses How Organisational Commitment Influences Nurses’ Intention To Stay In Nursing Throughout Their Career, and What is known about paediatric nurse burnout: a scoping review.

While often deemed superficial or sophomoric, rudimentary frequencies and their associated "word clouds" can be quite insightful:

Keywords

Sets of keywords -- statistically significant words -- can be enumerated by comparing the relative frequency of words with the number of times the words appear in an entire corpus. Some of the most statistically significant keywords in the carrel include:

nurse, nursing, health, covid-19, care, sars, study, practice, patient, wuhan, nicu, intention, disaster, work, turnover, taiwan, score, school, room, rnao, review, resilience, ptsd, psychological, professional, problem, prevalence, ppe, physician, pediatric, parent, ontario, nwd, npg, need, milk, mci, leadership, katrina, job, itsn, infection, identity, icu, ict, high, global, frontline, florence, fear

And now word clouds really begin to shine:

Topic Modeling

Topic modeling is another popular approach to connoting the aboutness of a corpus. If the study carrel could be summed up in a single word, then that word might be nurses, and Thank you is most about that word.

If the study carrel could be summed up in three words ("topics") then those words and their significantly associated titles include:

If the study carrel could be summed up in five topics, and each topic were each denoted with three words, then those topics and their most significantly associated files would be:

nurses, care, health - Troubling care in the neonatal intensive care unit
nurses, nursing, care - Globalization and advances in information and communication technologies: The impact on nursing and health
nurse, nurses, patient - Exploring the spatial arrangement of patient rooms for minimum nurse travel in hospital nursing units in Korea
nurses, professional, nursing - Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic Promotes the Sense of Professional Identity among Nurses: A Cross-sectional Study with Content Analysis
nurse, nurses, health - The push to modernize nursing regulations during the pandemic

Moreover, the totality of the study carrel's aboutness, can be visualized with the following pie chart:

Noun & Verbs

Through an analysis of your study carrel's parts-of-speech, you are able to answer question beyonds aboutness. For example, a list of the most frequent nouns helps you answer what questions; "What is discussed in this collection?":

nurses, care, nursing, health, nurse, study, work, patients, hospital, burnout, data, research, disaster, stress, time, job, studies, staff, practice, support, hospitals, review, patient, level, participants, factors, satisfaction, emergency, education, analysis, pandemic, quality, fatigue, turnover, healthcare, intention, knowledge, outcomes, results, management, information, experience, unit, community, years, self, evidence, leadership, number, levels

An enumeration of the verbs helps you learn what actions take place in a text or what the things in the text do. Very frequently, the most common lemmatized verbs are "be", "have", and "do"; the more interesting verbs usually occur further down the list of frequencies:

use, including, worked, provide, reported, related, increased, making, need, found, based, care, show, identify, taken, develop, left, associated, improve, support, following, feeling, considered, affected, knowing, leading, described, sharing, conducted, experienced, seen, participated, addressed, indicate, stays, ensure, involves, reduces, require, perceived, discuss, given, measure, goes, help, remain, continue, focuses, received, thinking

Proper Nouns

An extraction of proper nouns helps you determine the names of people and places in your study carrel.

COVID-19, Health, Nursing, SARS, NICU, China, ICU, Nurses, United, •, States, ICT, Care, National, PPE, Hospital, Wuhan, Association, Table, ¼, International, Nurse, Department, sha, Research, World, DOI, Australia, MCI, Practice, March, Korea, Burnout, Taiwan, Organization, New, ITSN, American, University, Year, NWD, Cronbach, Council, Hong, South, RNAO, PTSD, Medical, Leadership, Florence

An analysis of personal pronouns enables you to answer at least two questions: 1) "What, if any, is the overall gender of my study carrel?", and 2) "To what degree are the texts in my study carrel self-centered versus inclusive?"

their, we, it, they, our, i, you, them, its, her, us, she, my, your, themselves, me, itself, one, he, ourselves, myself, his, him, herself, oneself, yourself, himself, 's, em, yours, theirs, mine, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnss.2020.04.002

Below are words cloud of your study carrel's proper & personal pronouns.

Adjectives & Verbs
