Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Nursing Reports Special Issue on the “2nd Edition of Evidence-Based Practice and Personalized Care” will focus on these two topics by bringing together experts who present research in these fields.
The main goal of evidence-based practice (EBP) is the optimization of healthcare based on the integration of clinical expertise, patients’ values, and the well-thought-out quality of scientific evidence that is followed in a clinical setting regarding a disease or a condition by all the medical professionals, including nursing personnel.
On the other hand, personalized care (PC) is considered an inevitability for health providers, as it aims to provide the best therapy per person or is optimized for a group of patients with similar characteristics (stratified medicine). EBP and PC as complementary terms aim at the integration of best practices, based on the recent research evidence and the individual patient’s characteristics to improve the quality of healthcare and ensure health promotion.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Epidemiological studies concerning quantitative or qualitative design investigating evidence-based practice and personalized care approaches in healthcare.
- Studies on the topic of health professionals’ education regarding EBP and PC are also welcome.
- Studies investigating the competencies of nurses, health professionals in general, and EBP.
- Studies investigating the competencies of nurses and health professionals in general in the field of precision medicine and PC.
- EBP intervention studies and innovations in health promotion and quality improvement.
- Studies and manuscripts highlighting future directions for these subjects are strongly encouraged.
We also welcome high-quality systematic/scoping/narrative reviews related to these issues.
