Focus & Scope

The Journal of Complementary Therapies in Midwifery and Nursing (JCTMN) is dedicated to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research and scholarly articles that explore the role, application, and effectiveness of complementary and integrative health approaches in midwifery and nursing practice.

The journal welcomes original articles, systematic reviews, case studies, and brief reports that address a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

  • Evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies in maternal, newborn, and women's health

  • Non-pharmacological interventions in nursing care, such as reflexology, massage, aromatherapy, acupressure, and herbal medicine

  • Culturally adapted and traditional healing practices across diverse populations

  • Integrative care models in antenatal, intrapartum, postpartum, and pediatric nursing

  • Mind-body therapies, including yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and guided imagery

  • Health promotion, chronic disease management, and community-based nursing interventions using holistic approaches

  • Educational programs, policy implications, and implementation science related to integrative health in clinical and community settings

JCTMN provides a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and aims to bridge traditional healing knowledge with contemporary clinical research. Submissions from nursing and midwifery scholars, practitioners, educators, and allied health professionals are strongly encouraged, especially those that reflect diverse cultural contexts and promote person-centered care.
