Capacity Building in Neonatal Nursing Research in Low-and Middle-Income Countries: A Malawi Case Study

A qualitative study that utilizes a case study methodology informed by participatory action and a post-colonial feminism lens. The purpose of this study is to critically examine the concept of capacity building in global health research and challenge the dominant discourses that have worked to silence the local neonatal nursing voice. It explores the meaning of research in a low-and middle-income context and aims to uncover the ways in which capacity can be built for research from the local perspective. Knowledge derived from this study can then be used to support ongoing engagement in research for local nurses and provide direction for future global health projects.

Nursing and Allied Health Practice-based Research at BC Children’s Hospital

The purpose of this study is to develop and integrate practice-based research for point of care staff at BC Children’s Hospital. This will be accomplished by working to facilitate a positive research culture within the institution and by the conduction of a practice-based research challenge. The project involves creating the process for practice-based research and utilizing an implementation framework for its rigorous evaluation.
