Webinar: Recommendations for educating future nurse scientists to lead effective digital health interventions

This webinar is a special presentation organized by the Canadian Association of School of Nursing (CASN) Digital Health Interest Group. It will take place on Wednesday, December 9, 2020 from 1500- 1600hrs EST. Registration closes Tuesday, December 8 at 2359hrs. 

The implementation of digital health interventions in populations with chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, asthma, depression) has been shown to simplify condition management, improve quality of care and patient outcomes, and enhance information sharing between patients, caregivers and providers. The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for effective digital health interventions for use in patient care. Nurse scientists are well-positioned to lead this digital health intervention research, however, in order to move the science of digital health research forward, a standardized set of competencies for educating future nurse scientists to conduct this work must be developed.

Sonya Grypma takes on ‘awesome responsibility’ of university’s COVID-19 response

CASN’s Past President, Sonya Grypma, PhD, RN, was interviewed for Canadian Nurse. The article was released as part of National Nursing Students' Week, which took place from November 15 to 21, 2020.
___________

“Collectively, Canadian nursing educators have a mandate to oversee the safety of thousands of students and hundreds of faculty and staff during the time of COVID-19. It is an awesome responsibility,” says Sonya Grypma.

In the early days of COVID-19, nurses in higher education across Canada quickly realized that they could not afford to wait for others to figure out a pandemic response for them.

Instead, they joined forces, drawing on principles and emerging evidence, sharing ideas and resources to help guide their respective nursing programs toward decisions that were both safe and sound.

Réponse de l’université à la COVID-19 : Sonya Grypma accepte cette « formidable responsabilité »

La présidente sortante de l’ACESI, Sonya Grypma, PhD, RN a accordé un entretien à la revue Canadian Nurse. L’article a été diffusé dans la cadre de la semaine nationale des étudiant(e)s infirmier(ère)s qui a eu lieu du 15 au 21 novembre 2020.
_________

« Collectivement, les enseignants en sciences infirmières au Canada ont pour mission de veiller à la sécurité de milliers d’étudiants et de centaines d’enseignants et d’employés pendant la pandémie. C’est une formidable responsabilité », souligne Sonya Grypma.

Au tout début de la COVID-19, les infirmières et infirmiers des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaires du Canada ont vite compris qu’attendre que d’autres trouvent pour eux comment lutter contre la pandémie ne serait pas une option.

Ils ont plutôt conjugué leurs efforts et se sont appuyés sur les principes et les données émergentes et ont mis en commun leurs idées et leurs ressources pour guider leurs programmes d’études respectifs vers des décisions à la fois sûres et solides.
