This event served as a vital platform for fostering strategic collaborations in nursing research, knowledge exchange, and strengthening the capacity of healthcare professionals amid increasingly complex global health challenges.

In her presentation, Prof. Roro shared FoN UI’s experience in integrating evidence-based nursing research into nursing policy and practice. She highlighted how research conducted by FoN UI’s faculty and students not only contributes to the advancement of nursing science but also has a direct impact on improving the quality of nursing services and promoting health equity within communities.

“We believe that strong and well-directed nursing research is a crucial foundation for building a health system that is inclusive, adaptive, and resilient. Through regional and global collaboration, we hope to expand the impact of the innovations we are developing in Indonesia,” said Prof. Roro during the forum.
