Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative contributions from contemporary nursing in the field of women's health, with an emphasis on maternal and gynecological care. We intend to highlight research that explores models of care, clinical practices, education, health policies, and technologies focused on the needs of women throughout their life cycle.
This Special Issue will include original research, systematic reviews, case studies, and reflective articles on topics such as pregnancy, postpartum, reproductive health, the prevention of gynecological diseases, approaches to chronic conditions, and evidence-based community interventions. The goal is to integrate theoretical, methodological, and practical perspectives.
We invite nurses, researchers, and health professionals interested in women's health to submit manuscripts that contribute to a contemporary and multidisciplinary approach. We seek to promote dialogue between theory and clinical practice, encouraging studies that address health promotion, women's experiences, innovative strategies, and equity in access to care.
We invite you to join us in this initiative to strengthen the visibility of nursing in maternal and gynecological health. We welcome articles that can inspire significant changes in health care and policies, with a real impact on women's quality of life.
We look forward to hearing from you.
