Nursing Research Overview

The Center for Nursing Research conducts, assesses and disseminates research that impacts the well-being and recovery of the health care workforce. Our team includes professionals in nursing, mental health and clinical research who undertake studies and design programs that reflect the professional and personal needs of health care staff as they provide care to our patients.

In addition to conducting research, quality improvement, program evaluation and other scholarly projects, our team offers guidance to AdventHealth nurses who are interested in conducting their own research projects to advance patient care, safety and nursing as a profession.
