Himalayan Journal of Nursing and Midwifery (HJNM) contributes to the advancement of evidence-based nursing, midwifery and healthcare by disseminating high quality research and scholarship of contemporary relevance and with potential to advance knowledge for practice, education, management or policy. HJNM's intended readership includes practising nurses and midwives in all spheres and at all levels who are committed to advancing practice and professional development on the basis of new knowledge and evidence; managers and senior members of the nursing and midwifery professions; nurse educators and nursing students; and researchers in other disciplines with interest in common issues and inter-disciplinary collaboration. Papers published in HJNMS are increasingly cited in reviews of evidence and used by other healthcare professionals, policymakers, commissioners and users of services to inform their decision-making and practice.
