Philippine Journal of Nursing is a peer-reviewed periodical originating in the Philippines that publishes clinical, educational, and policy-related research relevant to nursing practice. It serves as a venue for case reports, original research, systematic reviews, and practice guidelines authored by practitioners and academics from institutions across the Philippines, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries. The journal interacts with professional organizations, hospital systems, academic institutions, and regulatory bodies to disseminate findings that inform patient care and workforce development.
The journal was established in the mid-20th century with editorial leadership drawn from national nursing associations and university faculties, connecting to organizations such as the Philippine Nurses Association, University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, and government-linked agencies like the Department of Health (Philippines). Early editorial contributors had affiliations with hospitals including Philippine General Hospital and St. Luke's Medical Center and were influenced by international developments involving World Health Organization, American Nurses Association, International Council of Nurses, and academic exchanges with Johns Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, and Oxford University. Over decades the journal reflected shifts tied to landmark Philippine events including policy reforms under presidents such as Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino, professional regulation involving the Professional Regulation Commission (Philippines), and curriculum revisions at nursing schools like University of Santo Tomas and Far Eastern University.
The journal focuses on clinical practice innovations, nursing education, community health nursing, maternal and child health, gerontology, mental health nursing, disaster nursing, and health systems research. Authors commonly represent hospitals such as Makati Medical Center, The Medical City, and Cardinal Santos Medical Center, academic departments from University of the Philippines Manila College of Nursing, Cebu Doctors' University, and international collaborators at institutions like Harvard University, University of Melbourne, and National University of Singapore. Thematic issues have addressed topics tied to public health crises involving agencies like Philippine Red Cross, World Health Organization, and responses to disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), with interdisciplinary links to nursing specialties including oncology nursing, pediatric nursing, psychiatric nursing, and critical care nursing.
The editorial board traditionally comprises editors from leading Philippine universities, hospital chief nursing officers, and international advisors connected to bodies like International Council of Nurses, Sigma Theta Tau International, and regional associations such as the Asian Nursing Research Association. Peer review follows anonymized procedures informed by standards recognized by organizations including the Committee on Publication Ethics, and reviewers are frequently faculty members from institutions like Ateneo de Zamboanga University, Bicol University, Mindanao State University, University of the East, and guest reviewers with affiliations to Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, University of Toronto Faculty of Nursing, and King's College London. Editorial policies reference accreditation criteria used by the Commission on Higher Education (Philippines) and professional practice guidelines from the Philippine Nurses Association.
Published on a quarterly schedule, the journal has issued print and digital editions distributed to libraries, hospitals, and universities such as National University (Philippines), Adamson University, and University of San Carlos. Subscription and institutional access practices have evolved with partnerships involving indexing services and library consortia that include the Ateneo de Manila University Library, University of the Philippines Main Library, and international repositories connected to PubMed Central, Scopus, and Web of Science. Special issues have been produced in collaboration with conferences organized by groups such as the Philippine Nurses Association and international conferences like the International Council of Nurses Congress.
The journal seeks inclusion in major abstracting and indexing databases used by nursing scholars and clinicians, such as Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and PubMed. Indexing efforts are often coordinated with university libraries at University of the Philippines Manila, University of Sto. Tomas, and international partners at Harvard Medical School library networks. Abstracting enhances discoverability for scholars affiliated with institutions like Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle Health Sciences Institute and for practitioners in hospitals including Philippine Heart Center.
Over its history the journal has influenced nursing curricula, clinical protocols, and workforce policy debates in the Philippines, attracting citations from Philippine scholars at institutions such as University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, and Cebu Institute of Technology–University and from international researchers at University of Sydney, McGill University, and University of California, San Francisco. Reception among professional organizations like the Philippine Nurses Association and accreditation bodies such as the Professional Regulation Commission (Philippines) underscores its role in professional development, while regional nursing associations in Southeast Asia have cited its articles in guideline development processes.
Notable contributions include systematic reviews on nursing interventions authored by faculty from University of the Philippines Manila College of Nursing, empirical studies on disaster response coordinated with Philippine Red Cross relief efforts during Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), educational research aligning with reforms by the Commission on Higher Education (Philippines), and clinical guideline reports co-authored with practitioners from Philippine General Hospital and St. Luke's Medical Center. The journal has published influential case reports and program evaluations that informed practice at institutions such as Makati Medical Center, The Medical City, and community health initiatives led by Department of Health (Philippines) units.
