Five members of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (JHSON) faculty have been selected for induction as fellows in the American Academy of Nursing’s (AAN) 2018 fall meeting taking place tomorrow, November 3. Induction to the Academy recognizes significant contributions to nursing and health care, and a career dedicated to influencing policy and well-being.
JHSON Dean Patricia Davidson, PhD, MEd, RN, FAAN, tells Newswise.com, “These faculty are outstanding and have a diverse range of knowledge and expertise that has impacted nursing and the health of communities nationally and globally. Our reach as a school is palpable because of their leadership and innovation, and I congratulate them on their excellent work and receiving this honor.”
The five JHSON nurses selected for induction as fellows includes:
Nada Lukkahatai, PhD, MSN, RN, is a nurse researcher focused on symptom biology and management, oncology, and the interaction of behavior and biological processes. She is currently studying the effects of non-pharmacological intervention, including technology enhanced home-based exercise programs, and musculoskeletal symptoms in breast cancer survivors.
Janiece Taylor, PhD, MSN, RN, is a nurse researcher studying minority and women’s health, and aging in people with chronic disabling pain conditions. Her research helps older adults prioritize pain management, identify disability and physical function outcomes among older African American women with osteoarthritis, and find associations between pain, depression, and functional limitations in home-bound older women and minorities.
Brigit VanGraafeiland, DNP, CRNP, is a pediatric nurse practitioner with 28 years of experience who has worked with vulnerable and underserved populations in urban and rural areas. She has also studied improvements in health care outcomes in vulnerable populations and conducted a nationwide survey on child maltreatment screening in primary care settings.
Nicole Warren, PhD, MPH, RN, CNM, is a certified nurse-midwife and public health nurse. Her global work has helped build competencies among maternal health providers in sub-Saharan Africa and India and her US based work has helped improve care for women affected by female genital cutting. She also works to promote the universal rights of childbearing women including informed consent, equitable care, freedom from discrimination, and being treated with dignity and respect.
Chao Hsing Yeh, PhD, MSN, RN, is a nurse researcher examining non-pharmacological management, and the mechanisms and efficacy of auricular point acupressure to manage pain in adults, patients with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers, and cancer patients. She was a 2018 recipient of the Johns Hopkins University Discovery Award and is currently studying the scientific underpinnings of using acupressure to provide pain relief from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
