2010 Sigma International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame: Conversation with the honorees

Abstract

<p>On July, 22 esteemed nurse researchers will be inducted into the newly created Sigma Theta Tau International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame. This unique recognition eternally honors nurse researchers who are Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) members; who have achieved long-term, broad national and/or international recognition for their work; and whose research has impacted the profession and the people it serves.</p> <p>This inaugural induction award ceremony, sponsored by Wiley-Blackwell, will take place at the International Nursing Research Congress, 16 July 2010 in Orlando, Florida, USA.</p> <p>&ldquo;STTI&rsquo;s research congress is the most appropriate venue for this recognition,&rdquo; says honor society President Karen H. Morin, RN, DSN, ANEF. &ldquo;STTI is a pioneer in funding and disseminating nursing research, and for more than 20 years, STTI&rsquo;s research congress has attracted hundreds of nurse leaders representing more than three dozen countries.&rdquo;</p> <p>&ldquo;We are pleased to be extending our partnership with such a prestigious organization in sponsoring the 2010 International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame Award,&rdquo; says Griselda Campbell, associate director of nursing publishing, Wiley-Blackwell. &ldquo;As publishers of both of STTI&rsquo;s research journals, the&nbsp;<em>Journal of Nursing Scholarship</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing</em>, we know that the research being produced by honor society members is of the highest quality, has relevance to improving care, and that those nominated are deserving of such a highly esteemed award.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p> <p>STTI will induct the following nurses, who are leaders, mentors, scholars and role models. Their research projects have been focused on areas such as patient and family outcomes, community wellness, national or international health care policy, and health care interventions.</p> <p>Inductees are:</p> <p><strong>Linda Aiken, RN, PhD, FAAN, FRCN</strong>, Claire M.
