Overview

Shaping Nursing Science and Improving Health: The Michigan Legacy chronicles the growth and development of nursing research and scholarship, and the outstanding contributions made to the discipline and the profession of nursing in the United States and beyond by the School of Nursing, University of Michigan. The work covers selectively the development of nursing science over a period of some thirty years which was undertaken by nursing faculty and the School’s PhD Alumni. The account of the strategic development of a program of research across bio-behavioral phenomena, health promotion/risk reduction, women’s health and nursing and health care systems is instructive. Substantive contributions have been made across the selected areas; of note also is the impact of translational science on health outcomes of individuals and communities. The accounts of the purposeful development of health informatics in nursing and leadership as scholarship are also highly developed. The book is a valuable contribution to the literature on how nursing research at Michigan is helping transform the lives of patients, families and communities.

In exploring the work it is possible to distill aspects of the guiding strategy which underpinned the growth, impact and success of this research-intensive, high performing and excellent school of nursing. It serves as a case study of the elements needed to maximize potential for success if seeking to establish a center of excellence... John Daly, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACN Dean and Professor of Nursing, Faculty of Health University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Nursing care is an applied discipline and one where knowledge is of little use unless it acts as a bridge between the world of scholarship and the world of practice. Shake Ketefian and colleagues have produced a user-friendly book that does just that. We grow no food on campus, so like every poet, priest or potter since the dawn of civilization, nurse scholars have to show the benefit of what they do provide, in other words, show impact. Chapter after chapter and short paper after short paper, a common theme in this book is the impact of the work. For me this is one of its major contributions.

The school is to be commended for achieving so much in so many important areas of nursing science; they adapted to changes in technology and took ownership, embraced discoveries made by other disciplines and integrated them into nursing science, and developed networks with other scientists in and out of the University of Michigan, including with international scholars, to achieve successful interdisciplinary research.
