The International Research Conference for Nursing Students (IRCONS) aims to advance a platform for fostering an enabling and empowering research mindset, culture, instruction, and advising in the field of nursing towards innovation, academic, and social relevance. With this year's theme, “Leveraging Nursing Knowledge Towards a Transformed Healthcare,” the conference seeks to integrate research ideologies into a coherent framework, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy. By establishing linkages between various philosophies, researchers can construct more complex understandings of the social environment and conduct more thorough investigations. These research philosophies converge under the overarching goal of comprehending nursing within the contemporary healthcare landscape, addressing current issues, challenges, and contributing to the advancement of healthcare practices. Through collaboration and the integration of various philosophies, IRCONS 2024 aims to propel nursing research towards new heights, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and a more resilient healthcare system.
