Introduction

Nurses are dedicated to the health and well-being of all individuals. Caring requires nurses to examine routine procedures and determine how they might be improved. Nursing procedures are best examined through rigorous scientific nursing research. The amount of information produced by rigorous nursing research improves nursing knowledge and practice, contributes towards development and shaping of health care policies as well as the advancement of global healthcare. Nursing research findings establishes the foundation of clinical practice and strengthens disease and disability prevention, symptom management, and end-of-life care. Using research, nurses produce positive outcomes for their patients and their families throughout the healthcare system. As patients' needs become more complicated and healthcare systems become more diverse, nurses implement evidence-based care by combining their own nursing research, professional experience, and patient's preferences. Consequently, the purpose of the current conference is to disseminate up-to-date information on nursing research and its contributions towards improving global health. This will strengthen the professional and public awareness of the nursing profession. It will facilitate dissemination of recent nursing research methodologies and findings, as well as provide opportunity for networking and collaborative activities among nursing practitioners and settings.

Conference Chairperson

"Maha Atout, PhD, MSN, RN"

Maha completed her PhD from the University of Nottingham in 2017. She works as an Associate Professor at the Philadelphia University of Jordan. Her experiences working with children with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses led to her interest in understanding communication between children with life-threatening conditions and their parents and health-care professionals. Thus, her PhD work focused on investigating communication in the care of children with palliative care needs from the perspectives of Jordanian mothers, physicians, and nurses. She has published several papers in this field. She is also interested in investigating parental experiences of decision making at the end of life for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions. Currently, she is investigating children’s awareness of death, a subject that is largely neglected in the literature. During her training in the University of Nottingham, she gained solid foundation in qualitative and mixed method research. She has presented in several international conferences and became increasingly productive in disseminating the findings of my research.
