Developments in Theory and Practice in Nursing Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

Following the increase in average life expectancy and the greater number of chronic diseases, in addition to the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and globalisation, it is urgent to (re)think what is being investigated and why it is being investigated. In this sense, with a focus on nursing research, this Special Issue aims to provide a space for sharing knowledge, experiences, and evidence resulting from research, as well as promoting reflection on challenges and new opportunities in the way research is conceived, planned, and developed.

Investing in nursing research can help achieve sustainable development, and it is hoped that this Special Issue will provide an excellent platform to reflect on how to accelerate production and, essentially, translate knowledge that adds value to people's health and lives.
