中医药作为我国的传统医学，为中华民族的繁荣昌盛做出了巨大的贡献。但是，西方把重分析、重实证的思维方式看作是唯一的科学思维方式。由于中医药的系统整体思维、阴阳平衡理论无法得到实证，一度被认为是伪科学。随着科学的发展，西方对中医药文化的接受度较之以前要高，在SCI领域出现了专门接受中医药相关研究的杂志，称之为补充替代医学（Integrative & Complementary Medicine）。本文将对这一类杂志分系列进行介绍。
我们已经介绍了JCR一区，二区和三区的杂志，此次将介绍JCR四区杂志，一共有7份。

二十四、Holistic Nursing Practice ISSN：0887-9311 IF(2019)：0.968 收稿量49
Website: https://journals.lww.com/hnpjournal/Pages/aboutthejournal.aspx
美国
Scope
The primary focus of Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP)is to explore holistic models of nursing practice and to emphasize the complementarity of traditional and holistic nursing and health care practices. Holistic Nursing Practice seeks articles on holistic nursing models and theory-based interventions and their outcomes. The term holistic is not restricted to complementary, alternative, and integrative health interventions but is rather an umbrella term that may occasionally encompass best practices of the medical model particularly when combined with a specific holistic nursing intervention.
Articles sought for publication in HNP include the following themes: innovations in holistic nursing practice, exploration of controversies inherent in holistic nursing practice and health care; empirical and historical research related to holistic nursing practice, health care and policy, and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit. Projected topics for future publication are listed on the front of each issue. These topics should not limit submission of articles on other topics by prospective authors. As the scope of the journal may change from time to time, the Editor reserves the right to reject articles not deemed a good fit before sending out for full peer review.
