Aims & Scope

Pflege ist die erste unabhängige wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für die Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege im deutschen Sprachbereich. Sie trägt zur Entwicklung der Pflegewissenschaft sowie zur Qualität der Pflege in der Praxis bei. Die Zeitschrift versteht sich als umfassendes Forum, in welchem die sich rasch entwickelnden Bereiche der Pflegeforschung, -theorie und -praxis sowie der Ausbildung, des Managements, der Ethik, Geschichte und Politik der Pflege diskutiert werden können. Zusammenfassungen von Forschungsberichten und Mitteilungen aus der internationalen Pflegeszene, Buchbesprechungen und der internationale Kongresskalender ermöglichen der Leserschaft, sich einen Überblick über das aktuelle Geschehen zu verschaffen, sich bezüglich berufsspezifischer Literatur auf dem Laufenden zu halten, um somit die Weiterbildung gezielt zu gestalten. Pflege publiziert Beiträge, die eine hohe Relevanz für Praxis, Forschung, Theorie, Ausbildung, Ethik, Geschichte, Politik und das Management in der Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum haben. Manuskripte ohne Bezug zur Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum werden abgelehnt.
