Obzornik zdravstvene nege (Obzor Zdrav Neg) objavlja izvirne in pregledne znanstvene članke na področjih zdravstvene in babiške nege ter interdisciplinarnih tem v zdravstvenih vedah. Cilj revije je, da članki v svojih znanstvenih, teoretičnih in filozofskih izhodiščih kot eksperimentalne, neeksperimentalne in kvalitativne raziskave ter pregledi literature prispevajo k razvoju znanstvene discipline, ustvarjanju novega znanja ter redefiniciji obstoječega znanja. Revija sprejema članke, ki so znotraj omenjenih strokovnih področij usmerjeni v ključne dimenzije razvoja, kot so teoretični koncepti in modeli, etika, filozofija, klinično delo, krepitev zdravja, razvoj prakse in zahtevnejših oblik dela, izobraževanje, raziskovanje, na dokazih podprto delo, medpoklicno sodelovanje, menedžment, kakovost in varnost v zdravstvu, zdravstvena politika idr. Revija pomembno prispeva k profesionalizaciji zdravstvene nege in babištva ter drugih zdravstvenih ved v Sloveniji in mednarodnem okviru, zlasti v državah Balkana ter širše centralne in vzhodnoevropske regije, ki jih povezujejo skupne značilnosti razvoja zdravstvene in babiške nege v postsocialističnih državah. Revija objavlja članke v slovenščini in angleščini in izhaja štirikrat letno.
