International Journal of Nursing Studies Advances

Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Nursing Studies Advances (IJNS Advances) is an open access journal that publishes excellent original research, reviews and discussion relevant to nursing, midwifery and other health related professions around the globe.

It is a companion title to the respected International Journal of Nursing Studies.

We aim to provide a forum for research and scholarly discourse that address topics of national or international significance.

We particularly welcome methodologically sound studies that explore and explain patient or staff experience, studies that develop or translate instruments to measure patient and staff outcomes, and studies that develop and/or evaluate interventions to improve patient experience, their clinical outcomes or the capabilities of healthcare staff .

We welcome papers that describe novel and important healthcare interventions in sufficient detail to allow their replication provided reporting conforms to the template for intervention description and replication (TIDieR) checklist and guide, especially when such interventions are the subject of an ongoing programme of research.

Intervention descriptions must include an account of the theoretical mechanisms of action, the relevant research from which the intervention was developed and describe the current state of evidence about the effectiveness of the intervention.

Feasibility, pilot and definitive studies are also considered provided there is sufficient rationale for publication and, in the case of intervention studies, a full description of the intervention.

We welcome "negative" results (i.e. studies which do not support a hypothesised difference or association) provided that the design was robust.
