Biological Research For Nursing

Integrating Biobehavioral Research into Health Care

eISSN: 15524175 | ISSN: 10998004 | Current volume: 26 | Current issue: 4 Frequency: Quarterly

One of the greatest challenges in nursing today is how to integrate information from many basic disciplines—biology, physiology, chemistry, engineering, education, communication, and the social sciences—into nursing research, theory, and clinical practice. Biological Research for Nursing is the only publication that helps nurse researchers, educators, and practitioners meet this important challenge by focusing on biological and physiological changes in healthy and unhealthy populations from a nursing perspective.

Published quarterly, this journal offers peer-reviewed original and systematic review articles focused on:

  • Normal and abnormal biological phenomena, such as stress, pain management, and wound healing.
  • Improvements in healthcare interventions/techniques developed through biological and physiological research.
  • New methods, instruments, and techniques for biological and physiological health research.
  • Pathophysiology and the biological foundations of nursing practice.
Biological Research for Nursing features original research papers, systematic reviews/meta-analyses/theoretical articles, and conference summaries that relate to nursing care written by scientists and researchers in nursing and the basic sciences, such as:

  • Genetics
  • Pathophysiology
  • Microbiology
  • Reproduction
  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology
  • Infectious Disease
  • Oncology
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Pulmonary Disease
  • Immunology
  • Endocrinology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Hematology
  • Neonatology
  • Nephrology
  • Nutrition and Exercise

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
 

Created to fill the gap between nursing science and basic science, Biological Research for Nursing offers a lively forum for empirical and methodological issues related to normal and abnormal physiological functions that can affect nursing care. Published quarterly, the scope of the journal includes but is not limited to:

  • Normal and abnormal biological phenomena, such as stress, pain management, and wound healing.
  • Improvements in healthcare interventions/techniques developed through biological and physiological research.
  • New methods, instruments, and techniques for biological and physiological health research.
  • Pathophysiology and the biological foundations of nursing practice.
