The Journal of Nursing Humanities (JNH) serves as the central international forum for advancing nursing humanities as a vital field of inquiry. We aim to critically develop and interrogate the conceptual foundations of nursing humanities, bridge humanistic scholarship to enhance reflective, ethical, and person-centered nursing care, and promote rigorous dialogue across humanities, social sciences, and healthcare disciplines.

JNH publishes innovative, peer-reviewed scholarship that employs diverse humanistic lenses to rigorously explore the meanings, values, contexts, and ethical dimensions of nursing and healthcare. Purely conceptual and theoretical papers are highly valued. Submissions must demonstrate theoretical rigor, cultural sensitivity, and practical relevance, advancing nursing as a holistic "human science."

We welcome submissions across key interdisciplinary domains, including:

• Philosophy & Ethics: moral agency, care ethics, phenomenology of suffering, dignity, meaning in illness/care, feminist & political perspectives.
• Narrative, Representation & Meaning-Making: illness/life narratives (literary, oral, digital), narrative medicine/nursing, representations in arts/media, storytelling in identity formation.
• Arts & Embodied Practice: arts-based research (visual, performance, literary), aesthetics in care, arts interventions, sensory/affective dimensions, design theory.
• Cultural, Historical & Social Contexts: transcultural care, nursing history, critical histories of ideas, health equity/policy, gender/care labor, power dynamics.
• Education & Reflective Practice: humanities curriculum design, pedagogies for clinical reflection, professional identity formation, moral resilience.
