RESEARCH
OHNIG will play a pivotal role in creating partnerships among scientists, health care practitioners
and consumers to develop clinical evidenced best practices (EBP) or best practice guidelines (BPG)
for healthy work environments for their workplace populations!
Research is the missing link in Occupational and Environmental Health. New research is required that
would form a triad between theory, practice and research.
Occupational health nurses must assume leadership to incorporate evidenced based research into their
clinical practice in the workplace community. Greatly required is research that validates behavior
change or the determinants of risky behavior in order to establish anticipatory best practice guidelines
for our clinical practice.
OHNIG will actively promote occupational health research that can provide a continuous feedback loop to
achieve the knowledge level for evidence-based practice or best practice guidelines (best evidence available).
OHNIG promote research opportunities for its members in occupational health nurses i.e. health promotion and
preventative health.
OHNIG will award $200.00 to a member who presents a
research paper related to occupational and environmental health, at the
RNAO's Healthy Work Environment conference in November. To obtain an
application form, send an email to info@ohnig.org
OHNIG members could qualify for Doctoral Fellowships ($25,000.00) Nursing Best Practice Guidelines (NBPG)
Program through Education Funding.
