Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality of reports on observational studies published in theKorean Journal of Women Health Nursing (KJWHN). Methods: Forty-six studies using cross-sectional designs publishedin KJWHN from January 2011 to June 2013 were selected for analysis. Selected articles were reviewed andevaluated by three reviewers using the 22 items of the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies inEpidemiology (STROBE) statement. As some of 22 items had more than one check point, further broken down, 34checklist items were used for analysis. Results: Overall, the reviewed studies provided sufficient descriptions formany STROBE items. Seven of the 34 items were found to be not applicable, and 15 of the remaining 27 items (55.5%)were evaluated as 'sufficient' in reporting. Only one study included a flow diagram illustrating participation and thislack of flow diagram was the weakest area of reporting in this review. Conclusion: Clearer reporting of cross-sectionalstudies can be attained by attention to vulnerable areas of reporting, such as including a flow diagram of participants,descriptions of sources of bias and reason for non-participation, and describing limitations of the study. Issues regardingthe application of STROBE statement items should be actively discussed in order to aid future revision and clarificationof items included in STROBE statement.
