Nursing Research

University of Iowa Health Care nurses have many opportunities to participate, collaborate, or lead in the conduct of research for the discovery of new knowledge to guide health care and clinical decision making.

UI Health Care nurse scientists support research through consultation, mentorship, and start-up funding. We encourage nurses to ask questions and seek solutions to improve clinical practice. Research ideas and proposals come from frontline clinicians, nurse managers, and nurse leaders at all levels of the organization.

As a nurse at UI Health Care, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, explore your professional interests, and engage in cutting-edge research to advance the future of nursing.

Nursing research studies 

Here are a few examples of research that has been designed and led by UI Health Care nurses:

  • Cognitive work of nurses 
    • Telephone triage nurses during COVID-19
    • Evidence-based pain management
  • Model development  
    • The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care©

    • Pain assessment methods for pediatric intensive care unit patients
