Summary:

In this work for policy makers, nursing students, faculty, and professionals, editors Hinshaw (Uniformed Services U. of the Health Sciences) and Grady (National Institute of Nursing Research, National Institutes of Health) distill key findings from research programs in the US and Canada that have positively influenced health policy decisions and programs at community, state, national, and international levels. The book provides frameworks for understanding the many factors influencing how research informs policy making and outlines strategies for linking nursing research to health policy. Examples of research funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) recount the experiences of senior nurse scientists and explore topics such as shaping HIV/AIDS prevention policy for minority youth, home telehealth and remote monitoring, and improving outcomes for at-risk chronically ill older adults.
