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.
