Pediatric Nursing calls for papers / publications

Call for Papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Nursing: Sexual and Reproductive Health

The issue of sexual and reproductive health is a major area of clinical practice. It encompasses a broad range of topics – sexuality, sexual behavior, altered body image, sexual and reproductive pathologies and infections, HIV/AIDS, abortion, sexual abuse as well as sexual health services, sex education and the impact of illness, social deprivation and age upon sexuality and sexual expression. Nurses are increasingly involved in work with patients, clients and communities that have sexual and reproductive needs – developing a holistic approach to care is essential, as well as increasing the evidence base for sexual and reproductive health interventions. This special issue aims to make a substantial contribution to this evidence base and also celebrate the wide ranging nature of sexual and reproductive health nursing practice.

Scope Researchers, practitioners and educators are invited to submit a manuscript based on a research study, literature review or discursive topic related to any area of Sexual and Reproductive health that has implications for nursing practice.

Manuscripts are especially welcome in the following areas (although other papers will be considered):

Child and adolescent sexual health issues, HIV/AIDS, Ageing and sexual health, Sexuality and chronic illnesses, Mental health and sexuality, Sex education, Sexual health in marginalized populations, Sexuality and clinical practice, Establishing/evaluating sexual health care or services, sexually transmitted infections, sexual health and pregnancy

All manuscripts will be expected to discuss the implications for clinical practice and adhere to the Journal of Clinical Nursing guidelines for authors available at www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/jocn

Submission The deadline for the receipt of manuscripts is December 2012 with anticipated publication in late 2013. Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcnur

All papers for the special issue should have the prefix ‘SI – SRH’ before the title of the paper.
