Inspira er et vitenskapelig tidsskrift som formidler fagartikler, forskningsartikler og kunnskapsoppsummeringer av spesiell relevans for anestesi-, operasjon- og/eller intensivsykepleiere. Artikler kan publiseres på norsk, nordisk og engelsk. Forfattere kan også selv oversette egen artikkel til engelsk, og få den publisert på begge språk. Formålet er å bidra til at kunnskapsbasert praksis og pasientsikkerhet ivaretas i møte med pasientene i det kliniske feltet. Dette oppnås ved å formidle forskning med utgangspunkt i fagområdenes historie, tradisjoner, egenart og plass i samfunnet. En kritisk tilnærming til eksisterende praksis vil kunne bidra til at anestesi-, operasjon- og intensivsykepleiere anvender sine kunnskaper og ferdigheter på nye områder, til nytenking og innovasjonsprosesser, samt til å forbedre eksisterende praksis. Tidsskriftet er et samarbeid mellom tre faggrupper i Norsk Sykepleierforbund (NSF); Anestesisykepleierne NSF, Operasjonssykepleierne NSF og Intensivsykepleierne NSF. Felles for fagområdene anestesi-, operasjon- og intensivsykepleie er selvstendig utøvelse av avansert sykepleie i et høyteknologisk, tverrfaglig miljø, ved akutt og/eller kritisk sykdom og/eller skade, ved kirurgi/undersøkelser og intensivbehandling.

Review & acceptance
Review time and acceptance
Review time from article dates manuscript dates registered with PubMed · to
Too few articlesOnly 1 articles from the last 24 months carry both submission and acceptance dates, too few for a median
Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
