Frequency: Quarterly
One of the greatest challenges in nursing today is how to integrate information from many basic disciplines—biology, physiology, chemistry, engineering, education, communication, and the social sciences—into nursing research, theory, and clinical practice. Biological Research for Nursing is the only publication that helps nurse researchers, educators, and practitioners meet this important challenge by focusing on biological and physiological changes in healthy and unhealthy populations from a nursing perspective.
Published quarterly, this journal offers peer-reviewed original and systematic review articles focused on:
- Normal and abnormal biological phenomena, such as stress, pain management, and wound healing.
- Improvements in healthcare interventions/techniques developed through biological and physiological research.
- New methods, instruments, and techniques for biological and physiological health research.
- Pathophysiology and the biological foundations of nursing practice.

- Pathophysiology
- Microbiology
