Research summary
AI-generated

Laura Beth Kalvas is a nursing researcher focused on improving care for critically ill children, particularly around sleep disruption, delirium, and sensory environments (like noise and light) in pediatric intensive care units. Her work also includes designing and running large multisite clinical trials and studying long-term outcomes for children after critical illness, known as post-intensive care syndrome. Much of her research aims to develop and test nurse-led interventions that could improve sleep and recovery for hospitalized children.
