Overview

Nursing is the healthcare discipline concerned with the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and the care of individuals, families, and communities across the lifespan. Grounded in both scientific knowledge and a holistic, person-centered ethos, it integrates clinical assessment, the delivery of interventions, patient advocacy, education, and coordination of care, and is guided by professional theory, standardized classifications of nursing interventions and outcomes, and evidence-based practice. The field encompasses general and specialized practice, leadership and workforce concerns, and the application of conceptual frameworks that structure how care is planned, delivered, and evaluated. Research in nursing addresses professional roles and scope of practice, the theoretical foundations of care, workforce conditions and retention, education and attitudes, and the management of specific clinical and behavioral situations. The peer-reviewed studies indexed under this topic examine contextual action theory in nursing, nurses working with unlicensed assistive personnel, holistic and intensive-care nursing, psychological well-being among nursing students, nursing students' attitudes toward marginalized groups, nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding organ donation, registered-nurse turnover, administration of long-acting injectable medication, supplementation and assessment in older patients, and risk management in drug therapy. Together they reflect investigation of nursing as a profession and practice, spanning clinical care, theory, education, and workforce, with direct relevance to the quality and organization of patient-centered health care.
