Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Health is the very important element for everyone around the world. To maintain health, it is necessary to consider primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention. Health items (including both Health Issues and Health Problems) are involved in many fields, and collaborative discussion and preventive measures in these fields are also necessary. There have been many scientific studies on the topic of health items, but the scientific discussion on the items is evolving and more studies are still important.

Therefore, I am pleased to invite researchers from various health-related fields to contribute to the Special Issue ‘Health and Healthcare: Prevention of Health Issues, Health Problems and Suicide’.

This Special Issue aims to publish original studies and reviews from a lot of science fields, including medicine and nursing. The directionality of this Special Issue for researchers who plan to contribute their work is ‘latest health studies’, ‘Studies into preventive health perspectives’, ‘Studies from healthcare perspectives’, and ‘Studies for suicide prevention and social health items’ etc. It is assumed that study methods will vary.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.
