This study established the clinical conclusiveness of Cochrane reviews (CRs) in family nursing. We extracted relevant characteristics of CRs to determine the methods of obtaining high-level evidence for family nursing. We performed a systematic search of all CRs on family nursing published in the Cochrane Library between January 2014 and April 2023. After screening 1212 titles and abstracts, we identified seven potentially relevant articles. Upon reviewing their full texts, we included six CRs with a total of 34 interventions. Of these, 22 (64.7%) interventions were conclusive and 12 (55%) were inconclusive. Thus, the number and percentage of conclusive CRs is lower in family nursing versus other fields.
