Challenges and Innovations in Nursing Management Within Modern Healthcare Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Nursing care represents the foundation of healthcare systems worldwide, encompassing prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and support across the lifespan. In recent decades, the role of nursing has expanded considerably, integrating scientific evidence, technological innovation, and patient-centered approaches to improve outcomes and ensure safety. At the same time, the complexity of healthcare contexts highlights the need for advanced clinical competencies, interprofessional collaboration, and continuous research to strengthen quality of care.

This Special Issue aims to collect innovative contributions that explore the impact of nursing care in diverse clinical and community settings, aligning with the journal’s scope of advancing healthcare research and practice. By focusing on evidence-based interventions, patient outcomes, and strategies for improving safety and quality, this Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for clinicians, researchers, and educators to share knowledge and best practices.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include the following:

• Evidence-based nursing interventions and clinical outcomes;
• Nursing care in acute, emergency, and critical settings;
• Patient safety, quality indicators, and risk management in nursing practice;
• Education and professional development in nursing;
• Interprofessional collaboration and models of care;
• Nursing perspectives in public health and community care.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
