This paper discussed the SD application in nursing research by illustrating examples of published articles in nursing discipline, which can be classified into physiologic, socio-psychological, and health policy fields. It also identified the limitations of SD use in nursing and suggests strategies in order to facilitate a SD method for nursing research: 1) systematic introduction of SD in nursing research fields; 2) Interest about SD as an innovative research method; 3) researcher's efforts to understand the SD method in academic settings.
