PREFACE

The rapid advancement of digital technologies, the continuous transformation of healthcare systems, and the evolving dynamics of modern societies have significantly reshaped the ways individuals experience health, well-being, education, and healthcare services. In recent years, topics such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, sleep health, healthcare professional practice, and the impact of technology on everyday life have gained increasing attention in both scientific research and public health discourse.

This volume brings together contemporary studies that explore the complex relationship between technology, health, and healthcare systems from multidisciplinary perspectives. The chapters address a broad spectrum of topics, including the influence of social media and artificial intelligence on motherhood and child education, the management of insomnia in primary care settings, the effects of digital technologies on physical health, global patterns of sleep duration and sleep quality, and the current state of nursing practice within healthcare systems.

Collectively, the contributions presented in this book demonstrate the growing impact of technological transformation on human health, healthcare delivery, and professional practice. They emphasize the importance of evidence-based approaches, patient-centered care, professional development, and interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing emerging health challenges. From digital addiction and sleep-related disorders to workforce issues in nursing and innovative strategies in family medicine, the chapters provide valuable insights into contemporary healthcare realities and future directions.

Beyond their theoretical significance, the studies included in this volume offer practical implications for healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, policymakers, and graduate students. The findings and perspectives presented herein contribute to a deeper understanding of how modern societies can effectively respond to the opportunities and challenges created by rapid technological and social change.

We hope that this volume will serve as a valuable academic resource and contribute meaningfully to ongoing discussions in public health, nursing, family medicine, digital health, healthcare management, and related fields. We extend our sincere gratitude to all contributing authors for their dedication, scholarly efforts, and valuable contributions. Their work has greatly enriched this volume and strengthened its contribution to the scientific literature.
