CANR Award Recipient, 2010
The Outstanding New Investigator Award was presented to Dr. Judy Boychuk Duchscher, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Nursing, University of Calgary.
Dr. Boychuk Duchscher demonstrates extensive leadership in promoting the application of her grounded theory of 'Transition Shock'. The promotion of research based practice has been achieved through extensive knowledge translation strategies within multiple professional practice settings and among emergent graduate nurses to enhance understanding of the experience of transition shock, inform practice and policy approaches to address transition shock, and ultimately enhance the quality of clinical work settings which in turn may enhance client care outcomes.
