Journal History

Nursing Frontiers: Research and Practice (NFRP) was established in Oktober 2025 as a scholarly platform dedicated to advancing nursing science through high-quality research and professional practice. The journal was founded in response to the growing need for an academic forum that bridges empirical research findings with practical implementation in diverse healthcare settings.

NFRP is managed by the editorial team from the Undergraduate Nursing Program (Bachelor of Nursing) and the Professional Nursing Program (Ners) of the Faculty of Nursing and Public Health, Universitas Prima Nusantara. The editorial team work consist of Chief Editor (Ns. Elfira Husna, M.Kep) and Journal and Production Editor (Ns. Nike Puspita Alwi, M.Kep and Ns. Nurul Fadilla, M.Kep). The establishment of this journal reflects the institution’s commitment to strengthening research culture, enhancing academic publication productivity, and contributing to the development of nursing knowledge at both national and international levels.

From its inception, NFRP has been designed as an inclusive and multidisciplinary journal covering a broad spectrum of nursing fields, including medical-surgical nursing, maternal and child nursing, mental health nursing, community nursing, gerontological nursing, nursing management, nursing education, health promotion, and evidence-based nursing practice. Through this comprehensive scope, the journal aims to foster dynamic scholarly dialogue and innovation within the nursing profession.

NFRP upholds a rigorous, objective, and transparent peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of its publications. The editorial system is grounded in professional standards, publication ethics, and internationally recognized best practices in journal management.

By embracing the concept of “Frontiers,” NFRP aspires to become a leading platform for emerging ideas, clinical innovations, and interdisciplinary approaches in nursing research and practice. The journal is committed to serving as a credible academic reference and to expanding the global visibility of nursing scholarship.
