Abstract
The present article presents a brief summary of the articles and themes highlighted in this Special Issue on the importance of nursing in our current health care system. As will be reviewed, there is an array of biobehavioral problems encountered by nurses, ranging from chronic low back pain, depression to burnout and workplace stress. In addition, nurses are becoming increasingly involved in important issues, such as the current opioid crisis, pain management, and a host of interpersonal demands of patients. As a consequence of them having to “wear many different hats,” a great number of nurses are now leaving the profession, resulting in a real threat of a nursing-shortage in this country. Efforts are now underway to stem this exodus from this important profession.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Biobehavioral Research, launched in 1993, aims to disseminate findings of behavioral science research which have applications to current problems of society. By publishing relevant research and emphasizing the excellence of experimental design, as well as potential applicability of experimental results, the journal bridges the theoretical and applied areas of biobehavioral research. The Journal of Applied Biobehavioral Research serves as a means of communication among scientists, as well as between researchers and those engaged in the task of solving social and biomedical problems.
