Research Expertise

Description

The key foci of my research include: 1.Dementia care (major focus), 2.Care of the older person (major focus), 3.Ethics in practice 4.Supporting sexuality and spirituality in later life. I have an established national profile in dementia and later life care recognised by my peers, health service colleagues and researchers. While my early research related to understanding experiences of service users, families and professionals in these areas, my research has evolved to focus on developing, implementing and evaluating related innovations in care. I aim to engage in research across the continuum of care that generates evidence to inform service transformation to enhance person oriented quality care supporting health and well-being. As my profile evidences, my research primarily fits both within the Trinity Centre for Practice and Healthcare Innovation (TCPHI), within which I am a Principal Investigator for the postdoctoral researcher contract with one of the linked sites, and also the TCD Ageing Research theme. I have a particular strength in collaborative research team working and am continuously asked to join research teams for my: research foci, ability to lead, manage and complete project work packages to deadline, and for support in relation to the ethics and pragmatic feasibility of studies. My experience includes postdoctoral and research assistant supervision. To date, I have been successful in securing funding of over €1,128,000 as Co-applicant or Principal Investigator. The research I conduct is funded and unfunded. A number of the unfunded projects are pro bono with clinical colleagues and are consistent with the TCPHI model of building research capacity within nursing colleagues to impact on health systems and service delivery. I have research skills across a diversity of research paradigms and methodologies with particular expertise in interpretive approaches e.g. grounded theory, and in qualitative systematic review and mixed method evaluation research. I am trained in Joanna Briggs Institute systematic reviews. My research experience informs my research supervision activities.

    • Improving Practice Led Research for the Benefit of Service Users; Research Capacity Building for Nursing - HSE Project 10200
  • Summary
    • The aim of this research project is to build research capacity (RCD) and enhance professional practice, healthcare and patient outcomes through the development of an enabling research infrastructure for nurse led research and innovation in collaboration with Community Health care Organisation 7. The intervention in this project builds upon the success reported by McKee et al. (2017) and a number of research capacity building collaborations with Dublin Midlands hospitals associated with CHO 7. A key activity for the post-doctoral researcher will be to provide support for nurses in the clinical area to do research and thus provide part of the formal infrastructure to foster RCD. The post-doctoral researcher will initially manage the five research projects identified in the tender document. Research projects will be developed in collaboration with CHO7 Directors of Public Health Nursing and Public Health Nurses. To assist in the process an initial consultation was held with PHN's in CHO7. The linked project I am currently involved in is a systematic review exploring community nurses' attitudes, knowledge and educational needs in relation to urinary continence, continence assessment, and management: The research project team on this study also includes Dr Margaret McCann, Ms Anne-Marie Kelly CHO7, Ms Jessica Eustace-Cook TCD Librarianand Dr Claire Howlin.

    • Sustaining Place - How Informal Carers of Persons with Dementia Address the Problem of 'Living on the Fringes'
  • Summary
    • PhD Research and Thesis. The aim of this study was to develop a theory to explain the processes employed by informal carers of persons with dementia to resolve issues of primary concern to them. The study was conducted using a Classic Grounded Theory (CGT) approach and a social constructionist orientation informed the conceptualisation of the resultant theory. The problem of concern to informal carers in this study was identified as 'Living on the fringes'. This problem refers to a significant and frequently negative alteration to informal carers' relationships with and place within their life-worlds. The theory of 'Sustaining Place' represents the social pattern of activities informal carers engage in to address this problem and has four components: 1) 'Unsettled place', 2) 'Threatened place', 3) 'Sustaining our place' and 4) 'Sustained Place'. the theory is dynamic and can occur in relation to sequences of 'Sustaining Place'. The theory therefore represents the diverse and individual nature of an informal carer's experience of living with dementia.
