I'm looking for a few good examples of studies that use single-case (preferably multiple baseline) designs in peer reviewed publications that have enhanced nursing practice in some way. Either treatment or educational interventions would be helpful.
I don't know if any of these are what you are looking for. The initial one is a meta-analysis of papers, some of which might be applicable:
Wang, S. Y., Cui, Y., & Parrila, R. (2011). Examining the effectiveness of peer-mediated and video-modeling social skills interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders: A meta-analysis in single-case research using HLM. Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5(1), 562-569.
And these are two more suggestions:
Keays, K. S., Harris, S. R., Lucyshyn, J. M., & MacIntyre, D. L. (2008). Effects of Pilates exercises on shoulder range of motion, pain, mood, and upper-extremity function in women living with breast cancer: a pilot study. Physical Therapy, 88(4), 494-510.

Boersma, K., Linton, S., Overmeer, T., Jansson, M., Vlaeyen, J., & de Jong, J. (2004). Lowering fear-avoidance and enhancing function through exposure in vivo: a multiple baseline study across six patients with back pain. Pain, 108(1), 8-16.

Thanks for your suggestions and quick response, Mary. I'll take a look at these articles. I'd also be interested in knowing of peer-reviewed nursing journals that frequently publish/feature single-case research designs. Thanks.
