Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce an upcoming Special Issue titled "The Latest Challenges and Explorations in Pediatric Nursing". This issue aims to illuminate the emerging challenges pediatric nursing professionals face in a rapidly evolving global context. We welcome all types of papers that address this topic, with particular focus on papers that reflect the integration of new technologies and artificial intelligence in nursing care, the impact of climate change on child health, and studies about under-researched populations, such as children with rare diseases or complex medical conditions.

Additionally, we invite contributions that address the impact of recent humanitarian crises on pediatric nursing care and highlight how nurses adapt to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of children in vulnerable situations.

We encourage submissions of research articles, reviews, or case studies that examine evidence-based practice, ethical considerations, policy implications, and strategies for advancing pediatric nursing care.

As a result, this Special Issue will explore the diverse and complex landscape of pediatric nursing today.

Dr. Silvia Rossi
Guest Editor
