Research Links for Debra Anderson Debra Anderson received her M.S.N. in Community Health Nursing
from Indiana University and a Ph.D. in Family Nursing from Oregon
Health Sciences University. Her dissertation, "Homeless Women:
Their Perceptions About Their Families of Origin," was
supported by a National Research Service Award.
Anderson expanded on her dissertation research with an AREA
grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research, "Factors
Influencing Homelessness in Women" (1998-2001). Her work in
this field has been published in the Western Journal of Nursing
and Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing.
Her recent study, "Violence and Stress Experienced by Female
Long-Haul Truckers," focuses on a group that is borderline homeless in society. This work provided
pilot data for a three-year R01 study funded by the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health on workplace violence among
both male and female long-haul truckers.
Anderson is a certified community health nurse. She is a member
of the American Public Health Association and currently serves
as
chair of the Public Health Nursing section. She teaches courses in public health
nursing and community health nursing in the graduate program. |
