Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s complex and interconnected world, the integration of diverse areas of knowledge is essential for addressing health care challenges, as was proposed at the 1st Meeting of the International Network of Women Scientists (Red Internacional de Mujeres Científicas).
In response to this important issue, this Special Issue emphasizes the critical interplay between disciplines such as the following:
- Engineering and Sustainable Development—contributing innovative solutions and technologies.
- Health 1: Basic Research—uncovering foundational insights into biological and physiological mechanisms.
- Health 2: Applied Research—translating findings into real-world applications.
- Literature, Humanities, and Social Sciences (Law and Politics)—enriching ethical, cultural, and governance perspectives in health care.
- Economy, History, and Information—providing socio-economic and historical contexts.
- Education—fostering awareness and training for future professionals.
- Motivation, Sport, Physical Activity, Well-being, and Violence—addressing the psychosocial and physical dimensions of health.
By uniting these fields, this Special Issue seeks to explore innovative and sustainable solutions for advancing health and well-being globally, such as the following:
- Highlight the integration of diverse disciplines in addressing health-related challenges.
- Promote innovative and sustainable practices in health care and policymaking.
- Foster dialog between researchers and practitioners from various fields to improve societal well-being.
Our aim is to create a multidisciplinary platform for sharing groundbreaking research and critical reviews related to health care. The subject aligns with the journal’s focus on advancing knowledge through interdisciplinary approaches that address current societal and scientific challenges.
Original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome, such as the following:
- Original studies
- Clinical trials and observational studies
- Literature reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Comparative or cross-sectional studies
- Psychometric studies
- Prevalence or trend studies
- Qualitative and mixed studies
Suggested themes include but are not limited to the following:
- Development of sustainable engineering solutions for health care.
- Advances in basic and applied health sciences.
- Ethical, legal, and political dimensions of health care.
- Historical and economic perspectives on health policies.
- The role of education in promoting health literacy.
- Psychological and social dynamics of physical activity, well-being, and violence prevention.
We look forward to your contributions and are excited about the potential impact of your research in advancing interdisciplinary health care solutions.
