The Faculty of Nursing, Hasanuddin University (UNHAS) sent two delegates, Anugrah Nur Fajrianti and
Nur Rahma, to the East Asian Forum of Nursing Scholars 2023 (EAFONS 2023) at the University of
Tokyo, Japan. The event was held on March 10-11, 2023.
The EAFONS 2023, with the theme “Doctoral Nursing Education’s Response to the Unprecedented
Time,” was a conference to facilitate an annual international forum for practicing nurses and academics
from all countries in East Asia and is one of the most prominent nursing practitioners and academic
forums. This activity was carried out in a hybrid manner with oral and poster sessions. The two
delegations made presentations in the oral session on March 10, 2023.
Accompanied by a symposium from great nursing research speakers, the EAFONS event was
extraordinary this time because it could be held on-site for the first time after the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition, the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality in nursing interventions will also
inspire Indonesian nurses to develop the nursing process through excellent research. This year’s
conference was attended by approximately 1200 participants from several countries such as Japan,
Taiwan, South Korea, Hongkong, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Maldives, and many more.
