Abstract
The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) conducted its 27th International Nursing Research Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, 21-25 July 2016. More than 700 nurses from around the world gathered at the congress, which had as its theme "Leading Global Research: Advancing Practice, Advocacy, and Policy."
Program objectives of the 27th International Nursing Research Congress include:
- Interpret research findings' influence on nursing practice, advocacy, and/or policy.
- Enhance nursing knowledge through research or evidence-based practice to impact nursing outcomes.
- Examine the translation of evidence into practice or education.
- Identify opportunities for international collaboration in nursing research, evidence-based practice, education, and health policy.
These conference proceedings are a collection of abstracts submitted by the authors and presented at the research congress. To promptly disseminate the information and ideas, participants submitted descriptive information and abstracts of 300 words or less. Each oral and poster presentation abstract was peer-reviewed in a double-blind process in which three scholars used specific scoring criteria to judge the abstracts in accordance with the requirements of STTI's Guidelines for Electronic Abstract Submission.
The opinions, advice, and information contained in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of STTI or its members. The enhanced abstracts provided in these proceedings were taken directly from authors' submissions, without alteration. While all due care was taken in the compilation of these proceedings, STTI does not warrant that the information is free from errors or omission, or accept any liability in relation to the quality, accuracy, and currency of the information.
