"My passion lies in defining and disseminating the unique contributions that nurses can make to acutely ill adults’ health and recovery. Nursing therapeutic strategies can improve survival, prevent complications, ameliorate symptoms and decrease health care costs, but many barriers exist that keep nurses from enacting their roles to the fullest.
My passion for nursing therapeutics allows me to pursue research across different disease areas, such as lung cancer and trauma. Most adults with acute and chronic illness encounter nurses only when they are hospitalized, so it is important for us to study how bedside hospital nurses can optimize their care for maximal contributions to health and recovery. Few drugs or new technologies can promise health care outcomes improvements as cost-effective and broadly applicable as optimum nursing care. This is why I am committed to integrating real-world clinical practice and nursing research.
My research program has encompassed studies of nurses job satisfaction and its benefits, symptoms and palliation in people with incurable cancers, illness perception in lung cancer, and study design and analysis in biomedical trauma research. Refinement of theory-based methods of symptom measurement and statistical consulting are other interests of mine.
Future plans include identification and standardization of feeding tube insertion methods in clinical practice and nursing education, exploration of stigma in people with cancer and symptom distress concept development."
