Research Workshop Details

Morning Workshops | 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM 

Methods for Quantifying Nursing’s Economic Value Contributions   

Olga Yakusheva, PhD, MSE,  FAAN  
Kathryn Lee, PhD, RN  
Marianne Weiss, DNSc, RN  

In this workshop, the team of nursing economic value experts will guide participants in identifying ways to measure the revenue contribution and economic return on investment (ROI) of new nursing development programs, redesign of staffing models, and implementation of new interventions for use in quality improvement, evidence-based practice, innovation, and clinical research evaluations. Workshop activities will include identifying potential cost-offsets and monetizable quality and safety outcomes to build the economic business case for investments in nursing. 

Evidence-Based Practice Workshop 

Madeleine Whalen, MSN/MPH, RN, CEN, NPD-BC 

Judith Ascenzi, DNP, RN 

Join the editors and authors of the 5th edition of the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model and Guidelines for this hands-on, interactive workshop. Participants will explore the purpose of EBP, why it matters, and when to use it to solve clinical problems. Next, they will be taken on a high-level tour of the key phases of the EBP process—Practice, Evidence, and Translation (PET). Finally, they’ll uncover helpful resources to continue building both their own, and their staff’s EBP skills into the future. Participants will leave with practical knowledge and concrete next steps to build evidence into their practice. 

Afternoon Workshops | 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM 

Research Methods Learning Workshop: Strengthening and Scaling Nursing Research  

Nancy M. Albert, PhD, CCNS, CHFN, CCRN, NE-BC, FAHA, FCCM, FHFSA, FAAN 

This interactive workshop is designed for nurse researchers who want to strengthen the quality of research designs and methods used (for self and mentored projects) and to expand into multi-site research projects. The session incorporates foundational and intermediate quantitative research methodologies that work well in clinical settings and key considerations for conducting high-quality research across multiple sites. Participants will engage in a blend of didactic learning, small group discussions, and hands-on exercises using real-world examples. The workshop draws on resources including the ANCC Research Council Multi-Site Research Playbook (2021).    

Foundation Friends: Storytelling to Elevate Nursing’s Value and Impact   

Adriane K. Griffen, DrPH, MPH, MCHES®  

This interactive workshop will highlight current American Nurses Foundation grant recipient pitch talks and provide strategies to convince a funder in 2 minutes why they should fund your research, methods to improve research dissemination through storytelling, and teach attendees how to develop powerful messaging that effectively communicate the value, impact, and ROI of your research to various audiences and stakeholders. Resources on how to assess your bias in critiques of pitches will be shared with the audience.

Amazing research symposium, with so much amazing research and EBP to better patients, staff and colleagues.

RN

I enjoyed the research symposium and learning about best practices in other organizations. I brought back a few pearls to my own organization. The networking opportunities were valuable!

Magnet Program Specialist

The ANAE Research Symposium was a great experience! As a first time attendee I was impressed at how much I learned and was able to bring back to my institution. I came away with so many great ideas for how to grow our program and enhance the level of nursing we are able to do.

Case manager RN

The networking was worth it alone!

The speakers were exceptional. I learned new information that will be used to improve current practices. A must for networking with nurse researchers and scientists.
