Overview

Nursing is the profession dedicated to the care of individuals, families, and communities to promote and maintain health, prevent illness and injury, and alleviate suffering. Nurses combine knowledge of the health sciences with clinical skill, critical thinking, and communication to assess needs, deliver and coordinate care, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, long-term and community settings. The discipline encompasses both direct practice and the theory, methods, and workforce concerns that shape how care is organised and sustained. Research in this area examines theoretical frameworks such as contextual action theory and holistic, intensive-care nursing, alongside the psychological well-being of nursing students, including anxiety, depression, and the influence of family and personality. Studies also address nurses' attitudes toward marginalised groups, risk management during the hospital administration of drug therapy, and the supervision of unlicensed assistive personnel. Further work considers workforce stability and the turnover of registered nurses, qualitative and phenomenological research methods in healthcare, and the use of innovations such as virtual reality in dementia care. By linking clinical practice to nursing theory, workforce sustainability, and rigorous research methodology, nursing scholarship informs how care is delivered, how practitioners are supported, and how quality and safety are maintained across the continuum of health services.
