Research

  • My area of research, teaching and clinical practice is the promotion of
    evidence-based care for older adults to enhance their health and well-being.
    My research focuses on evidence-based care, particularly research utilization
    among nursing staff.
    My PhD thesis “Evidence-Based Care of Older People - Utopia or Reality?
    Healthcare personnel’s perceptions of using research in their daily
    practice [1]" reports the extent of research use among staff working in the
    care of older adults and various factors’ associations with research
    utilization.
    After my thesis defense I was awarded a Canadian Institute of Health Research
    (CIHR) three-year post-doctoral fellowship at the Faculty of Nursing,
    University of Alberta and CapitalCare, Edmonton, Canada. Professor Carole
    Estabrooks, known internationally as a leader in knowledge translation, was
    my supervisor, and I participated in the research program Translating
    Research in Elder Care [2]. I led several nutritional research projects at
    one centre, collaborating with CapitalCare staff, that were widely
    disseminated and published.
    My present research focuses on examining individual and organizational
    factors associated with research utilization and evidence-based care. The aim
    is to generate knowledge in order to develop interventions to support
    increased research use in practice and to evaluate these interventions from
    the older adults’ and staffs’ perspectives.
