Nursing Inquiry

Edited by:
Sioban Nelson

Nursing Inquiry is an international peer-reviewed Journal which publishes articles for nurses and healthcare professionals on issues relating to the practice of nursing and healthcare.  The Journal aims to;

* Explore emerging ideas, frameworks and approaches to healthcare

* Promote international perspectives in nursing and healthcare

* Inform debate on current issues in policy and practice

* Examine current trends in nursing and healthcare practice

The Editor welcomes original research and review articles on the following:

* Substantive research to investigate and analyse practices, technologies and trends in nursing and healthcare that draws upon methods and ideas from the humanities and social sciences, as well as from science and medicine.

* International and comparative perspectives on care giving, health care and health promotion in the context of globalisation and migration of care providers

* Policy analyses that critically examine the position of the healthcare professions in light of global issues, such as the casualisation of labour, the emergence of generic health workers, multi-disciplinary teams, independent practice models, technological changes, privatisation of health care and increased financial pressure on health spending.

* Methodological analyses that develop and review approaches and frameworks to inquiry in a way that extends and enriches nursing and healthcare research. 

* Ethical inquiry regarding everyday healthcare practices and assumptions. We welcome papers that re-examine these assumptions and explore the connections between practice and ethics

* Philosophical inquiries that investigate the assumptions underpinning clinical practice and raise questions such as 'Why do we engage in particular practices?' We encourage papers that employ a comprehensive exploration of opposing ideologies and reject conformity in the study of the healthcare professions.
