Attilio Provedel, an associate professor from Brazil, has come to 麻豆原创\u2019s College of Nursing as a visiting scholar in hopes of expanding his research beyond Brazil and South America to the U.S.<\/p>\n
For the next year, Provedel will study concept development of spirituality and palliative care in nursing under the direction of assistant professor Norma Conner.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope to bring to 麻豆原创 new knowledge, methodologies, and perspectives,\u201d says Provedel. \u201cWe expect to enhance research synergies and publication opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prior to 麻豆原创, Provedel attended the Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo in Brazil where he has also been a professor since 2002. He earned his master\u2019s as well as his doctoral degree in electrical engineering, and is also interested in the communication sciences and nursing care.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrently I have dedicated myself fully to the analysis of scientific production in the health area with special interest in those dealing with studies on the relationship among religiosity, spirituality, suicide and health,\u201d says Provedel.<\/p>\n
His dedicated interest in this area of research led Provedel to create a virtual library called SAUESP (Scientific Production in Health and Spirituality) in 2009 that provides access to Brazilian journals which focus on spirituality and health. He also established a Center for Studies in Science and Spirituality in 2011 at his university.<\/p>\n
Above all, Provedel says the opportunity to come to 麻豆原创 as a visiting scholar has been one of the most important accomplishments of his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI consider 麻豆原创 to be a great university that is well known for its research and partnership initiatives. I chose 麻豆原创 because of its resources and the opportunity to conduct our studies under the supervision of Dr. Norma Conner, with whom our research interests complement one another.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Attilio Provedel, an associate professor from Brazil, has come to 麻豆原创\u2019s College of Nursing as a visiting scholar in hopes of expanding his research beyond Brazil and South America to the U.S. For the next year, Provedel will study concept development of spirituality and palliative care in nursing under the direction of assistant professor Norma Conner. \u201cI hope to bring…","protected":false},"author":141,"featured_media":68433,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"template-twocol.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[4869,14300,19,14916],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-68431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research","tag-college-of-nursing","tag-norma-conner","tag-nursing","tag-research"],"yoast_head":"\n
