Focus and Scope

Jurnal Pendidikan Keperawatan Indonesia (JPKI) Jurnal Pendidikan Keperawatan Indonesia (JPKI) aims to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed original research, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and case studies that advance nursing education, nursing science, and evidence-based clinical nursing practice. The journal is dedicated to addressing contemporary healthcare challenges across core nursing domains, including nursing fundamentals and clinical skills, theoretical foundations and research methodologies, and innovative care planning. We welcome papers exploring educational interventions, digital health technologies, evidence-based practices, and comprehensive psychosocial care. While firmly rooted in the demographic, cultural, epidemiological, and healthcare context of Indonesia, JPKI is explicitly open to international submissions and global perspectives. The journal particularly welcomes research that generates insights relevant across countries, cultures, healthcare systems, educational settings, and resource contexts. JPKI seeks to serve as a scholarly platform for the exchange of nursing knowledge between Indonesian and international researchers and to strengthen the contribution of nursing scholarship to regional and global healthcare development.

Pedagogical innovations, academic well-being, self-regulated learning, faculty development, curriculum design, clinical teaching methodologies, assessment of nursing competencies, and the integration of educational technology in nursing curricula. JPKI also welcomes studies examining the adaptation, implementation, and evaluation of international educational standards across different cultural and resource settings, supporting the professional development and career progression of nurses globally.

Nursing theory development, evaluation, and application, alongside rigorous research methodologies, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, meta-analyses, and evidence-based practice frameworks. JPKI welcomes studies exploring conceptual models, philosophical foundations of nursing science, instrument development and psychometric validation, as well as qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods methodological innovations applicable across global healthcare systems and resource-limited settings (LMICs).

Patient care planning, clinical decision-making, nursing process innovations, interprofessional care coordination, and the integration of digital health technologies, including mobile health (mHealth) applications, AI-supported nursing systems, telehealth, electronic nursing documentation, and wearable health monitors, to optimize nursing care planning. This domain encompasses clinical management and care planning tailored across specialized populations, including psychiatric/mental health, gerontology, community health, maternal, pediatric, and adolescent nursing.

Fundamental nursing concepts, basic-to-advanced clinical skill acquisition, practical procedures, and competency development in nursing education and practice. This scope includes symptom management, patient safety, basic clinical nursing care, simulation-based skill training, non-pharmacological therapies, complementary approaches, and the integration of evidence-based ethnonursing or culturally grounded practical skills into standardized nursing practice across various clinical settings.

In line with its commitment to strengthening international scholarly collaboration, JPKI particularly welcomes research involving:

• International collaborative research teams;
• Multicenter and multi-institutional studies;
• Cross-country and multinational studies;
• Cross-cultural nursing research;
• Comparative studies across healthcare or educational systems;
• Research involving LMIC and high-income country collaboration;
• Regional and global nursing challenges;
• Multidisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration;
• Research evaluating the transferability or adaptation of nursing interventions across different contexts; and
• Studies that generate findings with relevance beyond a single institution or geographic setting.

JPKI welcomes scientifically rigorous manuscripts in the following categories:

• Original Research Articles
• Systematic Reviews
• Scoping Reviews
• Multiple Case Studies
