Aims
The Preventive Care in Nursing and Midwifery Journal (PCNM) is a premier, international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the science, practice, and policy of prevention within nursing and midwifery. Our primary aim is to serve as a pivotal platform for disseminating high-quality, evidence-based research that directly contributes to health promotion, disease prevention, and the improvement of population health outcomes globally.
PCNM seeks to bridge the critical gap between research, education, and clinical practice by publishing innovative work that expands theoretical knowledge and provides practical, actionable strategies for implementing preventive care at all levels. The journal is committed to supporting nurses, midwives, researchers, educators, and policymakers in their efforts to design, evaluate, and scale effective preventive interventions.
Note: Preventive Care in Nursing and Midwifery Journal does not charge any submission or publication fees (no Article Processing Charges - APCs).
