Family Nursing Knowledge Translation: Iceland The Landspitali University Hospital Family Nursing Implementation Project (2007-2011) is an unprecedented knowledge translation study where family nursing was systematically implemented on every unit of a large 900 bed university hospital in Reykjavik, Iceland. Led by Dr. Erla Svavarsdottir, University of Iceland the project examined family and nurse outcomes of offering an educational intervention to practicing nurses. Nurses were taught family nursing practice skills which included a brief therapeutic conversation intervention based on the Calgary Family Assessment and Intervention Models (Wright & Leahey, 2013). The project also included the psychometric development of two new research instruments. A list of all of the known publications from this project is featured in this blog post.
