Nursing is the healthcare profession concerned with the care of individuals, families, and communities to promote, maintain, and restore health and to support well-being across the lifespan. Working within multidisciplinary teams, nurses provide assessment, clinical care, patient education, and coordination, and play a central role in achieving effective health outcomes, particularly in the care of older adults and those with chronic and complex conditions. Research in this area addresses the theoretical foundations of practice, including contextual action theory and holistic approaches applied in intensive care, as well as the well-being of the nursing workforce, such as the influence of anxiety, depression, personality, and family factors on students' psychological health, and the turnover of registered nurses in hospitals. Clinical and population-focused work examines the prediction of discharge disposition after traumatic injury, the management of antibiotic resistance and sleep disturbances in older patients, and nursing attitudes toward diverse and marginalized groups. Studies also consider the cost-effectiveness of preventive measures such as vitamin D supplementation in the elderly, the rehabilitative restoration of function after cardiovascular events, and systemic issues raised by inquiries into aged-care services. By integrating clinical skill, patient advocacy, and evidence-based practice, nursing supports comprehensive, person-centered care, contributes to quality and safety, and is essential to the delivery of effective health services, especially within aging populations.
