Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal focuses on nursing care within orthopaedic and trauma contexts. This includes managing complications from orthopaedic surgeries like ankle fractures and hip/knee replacements, as well as addressing the needs of older adults with fractures. The scope also encompasses nursing education strategies, such as using virtual reality simulations, and the environmental impact of orthopaedic practices, like durable medical equipment reusability programs. Furthermore, it covers nursing interventions related to physical activity and musculoskeletal injuries, and the role of family caregivers in supporting patients post-fracture.
