Clinical Area of Focus: psychiatric mental health, psychology
My scholarly interests have focused on nursing interventions to improve the quality of life of persons with chronic illnesses. My research on self management enhancement with individuals with HIV/AIDS, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and type 2 Diabetes complements my research interests. My interest in research began in my junior year in nursing when I conducted an intervention study of positioning women in labor to determine if side or back laying offered the quickest progression. After taking time off to raise my children and completing my doctorate in psychology, I returned to nursing with renewed dedication. My other areas of interest are child abuse and the disparities of illnesses impact, services, and health policy for minority populations. Having a grandfather interned during the war heightened my awareness of institutional racism and its effects on people. I have written reviews in book chapters on these topics; am a co-founding member of the Asian American/Pacific Islander Nursing Association; and serve on various boards and committees in minority related areas. A course I developed on Culturally Competent Research Methods take into account the policy issues as well as past injustices related to conducting research with minority/vulnerable populations. I chair and serve on several doctoral dissertation committees relative to my scholarly interest and areas of research as well as Direct the On-Line PhD Program.
