Nursing Research and Scholarship
The Conway School of Nursing faculty and students conduct innovative and interdisciplinary research and advance evidence-based practice quality improvement scholarship that is grounded in respect for the human person and aims to improve health across the lifespan. Faculty and doctoral students make national and international contributions to the literature in three main areas:
-
Innovations in Nursing Education
Curriculum redesign, nursing education reform by studying teaching and learning experiences, synchronous and asynchronous and microlearning modalities, including innovative immersive technologies such as extended reality (augmented and virtual reality), telehealth, and other technology-enabled simulation-based learning modalities.
-
Interventions to Address Health Disparities and Promote Health
Patient and family-centered care such as the impact of military life on families, feeding practices in infants and children and health promotion in women and children.
-
Self-Management of Chronic Disease
Cardiac disease management, symptom management, resource utilization, tailored approaches to patient education in underserved populations, interventions to promote quality palliative care, shared decision-making, and support for caregivers of persons with cancer.
