INNOVATION AND FUTURE DIRECTION IN CHRONIC CARE NURSING: UTILIZATION OF RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY IN CLINICAL PRACTICE

Nursing as a profession is required to develop its knowledge as a concern in improving the welfare of mankind both in pre-clinical and clinical settings. To be able to develop its knowledge, nursing is required to be responsive to changes that occur in the environment at any time. It also cannot be separated from the various changes, such as technology, variations of disease types as well as techniques of nursing intervention. The existence of various changes that occur will lead to various trends and issues that require improving in nursing care

Recent statistics demonstrated an increasing trend of chronic disease incidence and prevalence, either in developing or developed countries. A report by World Health Organization (WHO) predicted that by 2020 non-communicable diseases such as heart diseases, cancer, and metabolic diseases will contribute to 70% of mortalities. This percentage highlight the urgency of developing the management of chronic illness. It is essential for healthcare professions to strengthen their science and quality of practice.

Therefore, we invite you to actively involve in seeking global solutions by participating in "The 4th International Conference on Nursing (icon) : Innovation and Future Direction in Chronic Care Nursing: Utilization of Research and Technology In Clinical Practice " which will be held in Septrember 2018. This event gives a chance for academic and health professionals to gain and share information on nursing and health issues and research especially in chronic care area.
