  • ICU nurse Laura Hynes
    ICU nurse Laura Hynes publishes research 10 March 2022 SCGH ICU Registered Nurse Laura Hynes has had her research work shared in the Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing. The article, 'Intensive care nurses’ perceptions on barriers impeding the provision of end of life care in the intensive care setting: a quantitative analysis', was recently published as a joint research piece. The objective was to investigate the specific barriers and contextual characteristics that nurses experience within the Intensive Care Unit environment. Laura, who was the University of Notre Dame's 2019 Alumna of the Year, interviewed Perth ICU nurses with results highlighting some of the key obstacles nurses faced when trying to offer End Of Life Care (EOLC). This included having family and friends who continually call the nurse for updates rather than the designated contact person, families not accepting poor patient prognosis, and physicians differing in ...
