One of the first Humenick Research Grants from the Sharron S. Humenick Nursing Enrichment Fund was awarded to Dr. Shelly Fischer, assistant professor, based on her proposal and abstract titled,"A Pilot Study: Testing a Typology of Factors that Influence the Relationships Among Transformational Leadership, Safety Climate, And Patient Safety Outcomes." Fischer will be using data from hospitals in the Banner Health System. Her project builds upon the typology that she developed in her dissertation.
"She is working with an exciting team," says Dr. Mary Burman, dean of the school of Nursing. "The team members include Diane Boyle, Wyoming Excellence Chair in Nursing and professor at UW Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing; Lesly Kelly, clinical research program director for Banner Good Samaritan and research assistant professor at Arizona State University; and John Yelton, nursing professor at University of Colorado."
