Aim
Health Science and Nursing Research Journal (HSNRJ) aims to advance scientific knowledge and evidence-based practice in nursing and interdisciplinary health sciences by publishing high-quality research that contributes to improved health outcomes, healthcare practice, health services, and population health.
The journal serves as an international scholarly platform connecting researchers, academics, healthcare professionals, educators, and policymakers through the dissemination of scientifically rigorous, ethically responsible, and clinically or socially relevant research.
HSNRJ particularly seeks research that bridges scientific evidence and healthcare practice and addresses contemporary and emerging health challenges across individual, family, community, healthcare-system, and population levels.
Scope
HSNRJ publishes scholarly work within nursing and interdisciplinary health sciences, particularly in the following areas:
Nursing Science and Practice: clinical nursing, community health nursing, family nursing, medical-surgical nursing, emergency and critical care nursing, maternal and child health nursing, pediatric nursing, mental health nursing, gerontological nursing, nursing education, nursing management, advanced nursing practice, and evidence-based nursing.
Community and Public Health: community-based healthcare, health promotion, disease prevention, epidemiology, occupational health, environmental health, health behavior, vulnerable populations, social determinants of health, and community empowerment.
Clinical and Population Health: prevention and management of acute and chronic diseases, rehabilitation, patient safety, quality of life, symptom management, health-related behavior, and interventions designed to improve individual and population health outcomes.
Maternal, Child, and Family Health: maternal health, reproductive health, women's health, neonatal and child health, adolescent health, family health, and family-centered healthcare.
Healthcare Systems and Services: healthcare quality and patient safety, healthcare management, health policy, health services research, healthcare accessibility, continuity of care, interprofessional collaboration, and healthcare workforce development.
Digital Health and Healthcare Innovation: telehealth, telemedicine, mobile health, health informatics, digital nursing interventions, healthcare technologies, artificial intelligence applications in healthcare, and technology-supported health promotion and disease management.
Evidence-Based and Implementation Research: evidence-based healthcare, implementation science, clinical practice improvement, knowledge translation, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and other rigorous evidence-synthesis research relevant to the journal's scope.
The journal welcomes quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, experimental, quasi-experimental, observational, implementation, and evidence-synthesis research. Manuscripts should demonstrate scientific rigor, ethical integrity, relevance to the journal's scope, and a clear contribution to nursing or health sciences.
HSNRJ encourages interdisciplinary research when the study has a clear and substantive contribution to health, healthcare, nursing practice, or population health.
