Spotlight on the first issue of NICC for 2023

Abstract

Welcome to the first issue of 2023! At Nursing in Critical Care, we have an exciting year ahead with plans for two themed issues later in the year: one focused on rehabilitation in and after critical care and another around leadership and management of intensive care units (ICUs). This free to access issue includes 17 interesting papers: two guest editorials, two quality improvement/service evaluation papers, 11 empirical research papers, and two reviews, including one in the recently launched short manuscript categories. These papers reinforce the Journal's commitment to promoting critical care across the lifespan, with papers that specifically focus on the care of critically ill neonates, children, adults, and older adults, and a guest editorial discussing device-related pressure injuries across the critical care lifespan. The other guest editorial, penned by the Journal's social media associate editor, highlights the value of infographics in visually summarizing and disseminating the research findings to a wider audience and facilitating their implementation into practice.
