AANN Webinar: Wearing Pajamas to an International Conference: An INNRS Preview-AANN INNRS Webinar Q3 24

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The AANN webinar introduced the International Neuroscience Nursing Research Symposium (INNRS), a virtual event designed to connect neuroscience nurses and researchers worldwide. The full-day symposium on January 24 offers up to eight continuing education credits; webinar participants can earn one credit by completing an evaluation.<br /><br />Professor Daiwai Olson emphasized that research begins with curiosity and is essential to improving nursing practice. He shared examples of research changing stroke rehabilitation, subarachnoid hemorrhage care, and ventilator practices.<br /><br />Presenters then demonstrated two INNRS formats. Dr. Cynthia Batista outlined a proposed study examining whether discharge-preparation sessions could improve hope and discharge readiness among stroke patients experiencing fatigue. Audience questions helped identify potential refinements, including the study setting, intervention delivery, and participant factors. Dr. Andrea Strayer presented research on factors shaping older adults’ “patient work” before spine surgery, such as symptoms, mobility, family support, healthcare coordination, and insurance.<br /><br />The discussion highlighted INNRS’s interactive format, international participation, opportunities for collaboration, and online poster gallery, which opens to registrants two weeks before the event.
