Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research focused on nursing interventions and patient outcomes across various healthcare settings. Studies investigate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions such as music therapy, relaxation techniques, and early mobilization on patient anxiety, pain, recovery, and overall well-being. The scope also includes research on patient adherence to treatment plans, nutritional knowledge, care transitions, and the impact of social factors like loneliness and stigma on health, particularly in older adults and individuals with chronic conditions. Additionally, the journal explores the experiences and psychological distress of healthcare workers and the methodological considerations in nursing research.
