Asian Pacific Island Nursing Journal

Asian / Pacific Island Nursing Journal provides a peer-reviewed international forum for the exchange of knowledge in relation to Asian and Pacific Islander health and nursing care. It will serve as a voice for nursing and other health care providers for research, education, and practice.

Nursing in Asia and the Pacific Islands regions is a rapidly growing group of professionals and include the fastest growing minority group in America. Yet one of the greatest challenges is finding information about these groups in publications which examine their health, disparities, immigration and acculturation challenges, health education needs, policy implications, and responses to varied interventions in acute care and community settings. Asian / Pacific Island Nursing Journal assists researchers, educators, and practitioners in meeting these important challenges.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

1) Methods, interventions, instrumentation, and educational techniques

2) Theoretical foundations that increase understanding of underlying mechanisms for changes in health and illness

3) Biopsychosocial, spiritual, and ecological impacts on practice, education, and research
