Dean Grey's research selected as one of ten landmark studies in the history of the National Institute of Nursing Research
New Haven, CT — January 18, 2008
Margaret Grey, Dean and Annie Goodrich Professor, was recently listed in "Changing Practice, Changing Lives: 10 Landmark Nursing Research Studies", a new publication from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Her groundbreaking study on coping skills training for children with type 1 diabetes was recognized as one of the ten most significant nursing research studies in the 22-year history of NINR.
"While it is a great honor for this research study to be included among the 10 Landmarks of NINR, this honor speaks to the importance of the clinical research being conducted at YSN on approaches to improving self management of chronic conditions," Dean Grey commented. "It is also important to note that this research was conducted with an interdisciplinary team of nurse practitioners, psychologists, and physicians in addition to the young people with diabetes who participated. All were responsible for the success of the study."
According to the booklet, these landmark studies helped establish the foundation of NINR's work and illustrate the varied expertise of nurse researchers. They span issues that continue to be of great importance to nurses and patients, such as symptom management, preventive health measures, health disparities, and enhancing the quality of health care.
The selected study is titled "Coping Skills Training Improves Teens' Self-Management of Diabetes." The publication lists the primary benefits of this research, including:
predict behavioral problems associated with teens diagnosed with type 1 diabetes
to personalize coping strategies to promote diabetes management and quality of life
to preempt long-term complications from diabetes and other chronic illnesses
The article continues with a summary of the research, as well as implications. The full booklet may be downloaded at http://www.ninr.nih.gov/NewsAndInformation, and is found on the right hand side of the page.
The National Institute of Nursing Research is part of the US Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH).
