Description
This volume assembles diverse chapters that examine emerging priorities across clinical and public health settings. Key themes include the integration of artificial intelligence in women’s health—from cancer screening to perinatal mental health —and digital health strategies supporting aging in place for individuals with dementia. Furthermore, the text interrogates critical issues in quality of life and symptom management within palliative care , the psychosocial dimensions of body image following mastectomy , and the essential role of family-centered education in post-stroke nutrition management. Collectively, these contributions illustrate that modern nursing encompasses systemic advocacy, technological proficiency, and complex ethical decision-making.

Summary
Contemporary nursing practice is undergoing a profound paradigm shift, driven by rapid technological innovation, evolving quality standards, and an urgent imperative for environmental sustainability. Today’s nursing professionals operate at the vital intersection of clinical excellence, digital transformation, and ethical accountability. Contemporary Issues in Nursing: Digital Health, Quality of Care, and Sustainability has been curated to address these dynamics, offering a scholarly and practice-oriented contribution to the nursing literature.

Excerpt
A primary focus of this book is the burgeoning influence of digital health. From AI-driven diagnostic tools to smart-home ecosystems and wearable technologies, innovation offers unprecedented opportunities to bolster patient safety and personalize care. However, these advancements necessitate a critical examination of ethics, data privacy, and the preservation of humancentered care. This volume emphasizes the nurse’s indispensable role in ensuring that technology augments, rather than replaces, compassionate practice. The book also situates nursing within the broader context of global sustainability. Recognizing that healthcare delivery is inextricably linked to ecological health, the text examines nurses’ attitudes toward waste management and their awareness of the ecological footprint. It highlights iv the profession’s critical responsibility as role models and advocates for environmentally conscious healthcare systems. Designed for students, educators, and clinicians, this volume bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and clinical application. We hope this work inspires nursing professionals to lead change and contribute to more sustainable, equitable, and humane healthcare systems worldwide.
