Under the heading Nursing Approaches to Symptom Management – Diversity in Interventions and Outcomes, the Symposium focused on the role of nurses and nursing research in this diversified multidisciplinary field.
One speaker at the Symposium was Professor Geana Kurita, whose research focuses on chronic pain and how to prevent it. In 2021, the Foundation awarded her a grant of DKK 7.5 million over 5 years under its Nursing Research Programme to carry out research in this field.
The Symposium was also the occasion to celebrate the 2021 PhD Scholarships and Postdoc Fellowships in Nursing Research awarded by the Foundation.
