Aims & Scope

Journal of Perioperative Nursing publishes original research articles, reviews, discussion papers, case studies, and project reports focused on all aspects of perioperative nursing. Its scope spans the surgical care continuum, from a patient’s referral for surgery to discharge and complete recovery. The journal’s primary audience is nurses caring for perioperative and peri-procedural patients across diverse settings, including pre-admission clinics, day surgery units, interventional suites, operating theatres, recovery rooms, and surgical wards. Multidisciplinary and international submissions are encouraged, provided they align with the journal’s aims and contribute to advancing the global perioperative nursing community.
