Journal of Applied Nursing and Health

Aim
The Journal of Applied Nursing and Health (JANH) is an international, double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access journal. Distinctively, JANH emphasizes healthcare challenges and innovations in ASEAN and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), highlighting cultural perspectives, local contexts, and practical solutions that are often underrepresented in leading international journals.

Scope
JANH publishes original research, reviews, and applied studies in nursing and allied health, prioritizing work that addresses service delivery, care models, and health outcomes in resource-limited and culturally diverse settings. The scope includes, but is not limited to:

Nursing: medical-surgical, critical care, emergency, disaster, maternal and child health, mental health, community and family health, geriatrics, oncology, palliative and end-of-life care, nursing education, tele-nursing, nursing management, evidence-based nursing, and nursing informatics.

Allied Health: public health, family medicine, midwifery, pharmacy (community & herbal), epidemiology, health promotion, disease prevention, hospital administration, occupational health, nutrition, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, biomedic (community health), psychology, health informatics and technology, and complementary practices with rigorous evaluation.

JANH particularly values manuscripts that address applied healthcare models, culturally informed practices, and innovations for low-resource settings.

Focus
JANH is primarily focused on clinical questions and applied research, and on issues relating to patients and clinical care in terms of prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment that address real-world challenges in patient care and health systems, particularly in ASEAN and LMICs.

Specific focus or topics covered in the journal include:

Evidence-based practice that improves patient outcomes in diverse and resource-limited settings.
Interdisciplinary collaboration across nursing, medicine, and allied health.
Community and public health initiatives are designed and adapted to local sociocultural contexts.
Cultural and contextual perspectives that shape health behaviors, patient–provider interactions, and models of care delivery.
Healthcare innovation and technology, including digital health and telemedicine, are adapted to local realities.
