Dear readers:
It is already a reality. With great enthusiasm, but also with high doses of commitment and field work, we present the first edition of our international journal on Nursing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our contribution to the world of science and research, increasingly interconnected and constantly evolving, where it is decisive to take advantage of each of the opportunities that technology offers us to improve care.
Our intention with the conception of this publication is based on establishing a meeting point for the exchange of knowledge and cutting-edge research, in which to define the best practices in the integration of AI in the field of health in all countries – of the five continents–. A channel where nurses who constantly achieve professional and scientific successes can disseminate them in an indexed medium, like our new magazine, which germinates with the sole desire and illusion of accessing and providing coverage to the entire nursing scientific community.
Nurses who, as defined by Carrie Latet “constitute the hospital’s hospitality”, are the essential profession in health care, we play a fundamental role in improving the quality of life of the population in general, and in this context , AI is presented as a new and extraordinary transformative tool, with the potential to revolutionize the way in which Nursing professionals provide care, optimize clinical processes and make decisions based on scientific evidence.
Nursing should not only be aware of the irruption and revolution that AI has brought about -with the importance of its ethical and legal derivations-, as a scientific profession it is obliged to actively participate in developments, providing information -introducing data and helping the configuration of its algorithms—and, most especially, proposing solutions to the consequences that it may have for humanity in the short and long term.
Because we must not forget that humanity is the basis of Nursing, because care and care processes must be impregnated with trust and because we must find ourselves in a preferential position before Artificial Intelligence, but, at the same time, reconcile it with sensitivity human. Proposing the advancement of AI channeled with codes of good practice that establish limits against its misuse in nursing decision-making or in the university training field.
Our magazine’s main objective is to disseminate scientific advances, cutting-edge research and practical experiences related to research in all fields of care and add to all of them the necessary and predictable integration into our daily work of AI. All of this without losing our horizon, which is none other than the patient, the raison d’être of the healthcare system and its professionals.
In our publication we will address, with ethical control, such diverse topics, with a deontological and legal perspective, such as the use of algorithms for early diagnosis, the application of sensors and smart devices in patient monitoring, the use of data analysis to predict trends in health and the development of virtual assistants to provide support to Nursing professionals, among other topics.
In each issue, we will offer a rigorous selection of peer-reviewed articles by experts in the field, highlighting the most relevant advances in AI-powered Nursing research and practice. We will also have relevant papers in all areas of nursing knowledge, trying from the beginning for the journal to become a benchmark where we can publish the research effort of our profession, all at zero cost for those who dare to publish in this journal that It pretends to be from all the nurses in the world.
Through this journal, we are committed to fostering collaboration and dialogue among nursing professionals, researchers, academics, and AI experts from around the world. We want to stimulate creativity and innovation in the field, and provide a space where knowledge is shared and applied for the benefit of patient care and the advancement of Nursing.
On this exciting journey into the future of Nursing and Artificial Intelligence, we invite you to join us. Together, we will explore the infinite possibilities of this synergy, build bridges across disciplines, and shape the future of healthcare.
Welcome to our international journal of Nursing and Artificial Intelligence!
Sincerely,
