Disability results from an interplay between health conditions and environmental and personal factors. People with disabilities face substantial and ongoing health inequities; however, research to mitigate these inequalities is lacking. There is an urgent need for a better understanding of the multilevel factors that influence health outcomes in people with visible and invisible disabilities across all the lenses of the National Institute of Nursing Research strategic plan. Disability research must be a priority of nurses and the National Institute of Nursing Research to advance health equity for all.

Background: Childhood cancer is not a high priority in health care financing for many countries, including in Ghana. Delayed care seeking and treatment abandonment, often due to the financial burden of care seeking to families, are common reasons for a relatively low overall survival (OS) in low-and middle-income countries. In this study, we analyzed the cost-effectiveness of extending health insurance coverage to children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) in Ghana.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability globally. Advances in clinical care have improved survival rates, leading to a growing population living with long-term effects of TBI, which can impact physical, cognitive, and emotional health. These effects often require continuous management and individualized care.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease. The primary pathological manifestations of KOA include articular cartilage degeneration, joint space narrowing, and osteophyte formation, leading to a spectrum of symptoms, including joint pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, diminished muscle strength, and severe disability. We aimed to utilize a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of isokinetic muscle strengthening training (IMST) as a rehabilitation treatment for KOA in lowland areas.
