In October 2019, six graduate students and seven faculty\nfrom the College of Nursing attended the Qualitative Health Research Conference\nin Vancouver, B.C., a five-day interdisciplinary educational conference aimed\nat researchers in academic and professional settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference, hosted by the International Institute for Qualitative Methodology at the University of Alberta, attracted over 250 attendees from over 15 different countries. College of Nursing graduate students have taken part for the last four years as part of the Deeper Dives into Qualitative Research Award, supported by the College of Nursing Endowment Fund.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really the brainchild of three of our faculty \u2013 Dr. Christina West, Dr. Kendra Rieger, Dr. Donna Martin,\u201d said Dr. Lynn Scruby, assistant professor at the College of Nursing and one of the mentors to the graduate students. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for our graduate students to disseminate their findings and speak about their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate students who attended were Emily Hyde, Andrea Winther-Klippenstein, Vanessa Van Bewer, Lisa Mary-Quigley, Josie Bolianatz, Stephanie Lelond and Kealy Murray. Faculty mentors included West, Rieger, Martin, Scruby, Wanda Chernomas and Suzanne Lennon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really feel like my experiences at the Qualitative Health\nResearch Conference helped me create a map for myself and begin to build a\ncommunity for the next part of my journey,\u201d said Kealy Murray, a third-year\ngraduate student in the Clinical Nurse Specialist stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murray presented her research poster on the experiences of\nparents caring for a child with persistent post-concussion syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy research interests are the impact of illness on families, family experiences, family resilience, maternal and child wellness, and the young adult population,\u201d she said. \u201cThis stems from my nursing background, which is in maternity, pediatrics, and community health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What stood out to me at the conference was the creative use of interview tools and arts-based research to gather data, and considering how these tools and various approaches may be useful in addressing a variety of biases that can sometimes come up when interviewing participants,” Murray said. “This opportunity to engage with peers and renowned scholars was enlightening and incredibly empowering.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
