Research summary
AI-generated

Christine A. Fortney's research focuses on care for critically and seriously ill infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), including how families and clinicians communicate, cope with grief and bereavement, and make decisions about care. Her work also examines practical tools for measuring infant stress and symptoms (such as cortisol and nurse-perception scales) and efforts to make NICU research more inclusive of Spanish-speaking families. This research combines nursing science, palliative and end-of-life care, and family-centered communication in pediatric and neonatal settings.
