Please join us for a very special presentation by a distinguished visitor from the University of Malta, Dr. Josef Trapani. Dr. Trapani holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Malta and a PhD from the University of Brighton. He is Lecturer in the University of Malta’s Faculty of Health Sciences and is the International Coordinator for that university’s Department of Nursing. His main academic interests include critical care nursing, clinical decision making, evidence-based practice, e-learning, health promotion, qualitative research methodologies, and Maltese linguistics. On Thursday, October 19th, Dr. Trapani will speak about “Referring in Critical Care: Nurses as Dual Agents”. Research indicates that one of the most frequent nursing decisions is that of seeking help from medical, nursing, or other health care practitioners; yet, there is very limited research around the factors related to, and the actual process of, such referring. Dr. Trapani’s study sought to address this research gap by exploring the factors associated with critical care nurses’ decisions to seek help from doctors, and to explain the process of referral in the context of an intensive care unit by means of a substantive theory derived from the data.
