If you are interested, contact Dr. Shirley Gordon, PhD. at sgordon@fau.edu.Dr. Rhonda Lesniak, PhD. has received funding from NASN to continue her research into students who cut themselves. If you are involved in a research project and would like to involve other school nurses, contact Past-president@FASN.net to make contact with other School nurses. Due to widespread interest from members for research networking, NASN has expanded the Doctoral and Master's Student's List to the NASN Research Discussion List. The list is for NASN members and provides a network for school nurses interested in research, including school health office nurses, supervisors, university and non-profit agency researchers, Doctoral and Masters students. The list provides feedback, support and direction from peers and school nurse leaders and connects potential research partners.

Read the article by Karen Capps in the June 2008 edition of The FASNating News Research Initiative (FSNRI)The Florida School Nurse Research Initiative (FSNRI) has been developed as the outcome of the Delphi Process research project many of you participated in. Over 50% of the participlants identified research as a role of the school nurse; the comfort level to participate in research was significant and the five most frequently identified topics were obesity, the role of the school nurse, legal/ethical issues, school emergencies and health education. The FSNRI is designed to provide education, networking, and organizational support to nurture statewide research groups made up of practicing school nurses, and research mentors from the university setting. It is expected that as a result of the initiative, statewide multi-site research studies will be conducted focused on the priority topics. The goals of FSNRI are: a. Establish a research agenda for school nurses in Florida b. Develop a systematic structure to nurture the participation of school nurses in the research process c. Development of research partnerships d. Conduct multi-site research studies organized around identified topics of interest e. Support the state goals for health children/schools |
