   Assessing core competencies, preparedness levels, and response capabilities among emergency and critical care nurses.
2. Psychosocial and Supportive Care in Oncology:
   Investigating resilience, social support, quality of life, and unmet supportive care needs among patients with cancer.
3. Mental Health and Well-being of Healthcare Professionals:
   Exploring stress, coping strategies, burnout, and resilience among nurses and healthcare providers.
4. Nursing Education and Workforce Development:
   Enhancing curriculum design, competency-based education, simulation-based learning, and graduate employability in alignment with national accreditation standards
5. Evidence-Based Practice and Health Outcomes Research: Promoting research utilization, outcome measurement, and quality improvement initiatives in clinical nursing practice.
