Fourteen esteemed nurse researchers will be inducted into the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International's (STTI) International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame.
The prestigious award honors STTI nurse researchers from around the world who have achieved significant and sustained national and/or international recognition for their work and whose research has impacted the profession and the people it serves.
"The International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame eternally honors esteemed nurse researchers from around the world who are committed to building the knowledge base in nursing," says STTI president, Suzanne Prevost, PhD, RN, COI. "This year we recognize fourteen nurses from Australia, South Africa, Taiwan and the United States."
The award presentation, sponsored by Wiley-Blackwell, will take place Aug. 2 in Brisbane, Australia, at STTI's 23rd International Nursing Research Congress.
During this event, honorees will converse with STTI president, Suzanne Prevost, who will explore topics such as how their careers evolved; what impact their research has had on nursing care; how to connect nursing research to practice; who has had the greatest impact on their career; and what advice they have for nurses pursuing nursing research.
"The International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame Award presented by STTI provides recognition to leading nurse researchers," says Griselda Campbell, associate director of nursing publishing at Wiley-Blackwell. "We are delighted to support these awards, and with STTI, welcome the 14 inductees and offer acknowledgement and appreciation to these outstanding nurse researchers. The sphere of influence of these nurses is a stellar shining light, bringing insight for the benefit of patients, families, nurses and the wider health community."
The inductees are leaders, mentors, scholars and role models whose research has focused on patient/family outcomes, community wellness, health care policy and healthcare interventions.
