Keynote Address: Bridging Effectiveness Gaps Through Implementation Science:  What do context and diversity have to do with it?

Dr. Nancy Edwards
Scientific Director for the CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health
Professor, School of Nursing, and the Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine, University of Ottawa

There have been substantial advances in research to examine the effectiveness of nursing interventions.  Researchers based in both academic and clinical settings have contributed to these gains; clients, families and communities have benefited from these advances.  Yet, the diversity of the clients and populations nurses serve, and the wide range of contextual influences on nursing interventions and health outcomes are important research and knowledge translation challenges.  I describe how an implementation science approach may help to address these challenges, using a number of illustrative examples.

Past Nursing Research Days

The Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing at Ryerson University hosts an annual Nursing Research Day.  The goal of this conference is to provide a venue for sharing research and fostering exchange of ideas among nurses working in education, administration and clinical settings.  Presentations of completed research or research in progress of relevance to nursing educators, practitioners or administrators has been featured in the past, as well as the results of applied clinical research projects, program evaluation initiatives, and student theses, completed or in progress.

 

The Nursing Research Day archive contains all of the available conference programmes, books of abstracts, and photos to date.
