Canadian Association for Nursing Research (CANR)

The Canadian Association for Nursing Research (CANR) is a national organization with representation from every province and territory. We are a Canadian Nursing Association (CNA) interest group and as such, serve on the CNA Advisory Council.

The purpose of CANR is to foster research-based nursing practice and practice-based nursing research by:

  • providing information about research studies, methods, funding and other resources
  • strengthening linkages between research, education, administration,and clinical practice
  • representing members' interests to governments, funding agencies, and other nursing organizations
  • recognizing excellence in research activities
  • educating professionals and the public about the significance of the nursing research-practice partnership

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.
