Carole Anne Estabrooks CM FCAHS (born 1954) is a Canadian applied health services researcher. She is a Canada Research Chair in Knowledge Translation and a professor in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta. She has been listed amongst the highest cited researchers in her field and was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 2016.
Early life and education
[edit]Estabrooks was born in 1954[1] to parents Louise and Francis.[2] She attended the University of New Brunswick for her Bachelor of Nursing degree in 1977,[3] and later earned her Master of Nursing and PhD at the University of Alberta.[4]
Career
[edit]After completing her Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and University of Toronto[4] Estabrooks joined the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta. She was appointed a Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Knowledge Translation from 2005 until 2010,[5] during which she co-founded TREC (Translating Research in Elder Care) with Peter Norton to research and quantify data on patient outcomes.[6] TREC conducted randomized controlled trials, longitudinal studies, and network studies to improve care and quality of life in long-term care resident homes.[7] As a result of her efforts in patient care, she was elected a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences[8] and given an Alumni Award of Distinction from the University of New Brunswick.[3] In 2009, Estabrooks, Sharon Straus, and Jeremy Grimshaw received a $1.8 million Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) grant to fund Knowledge Translation Canada: A CIHR Strategic Training Initiative in Health Research. Their research project aimed to create a national training initiative to enhance Knowledge Translation research.[9] Through TREC, Estabrooks, Janet E. Squires, Greta G. Cummings, Judy M. Birdsell, and Peter G. Norton developed the Alberta Context Tool (ACT), a way to measure the organizational context for healthcare settings.[10] By 2013, the ACT was used in nine countries and six languages.[11]
Upon the conclusion of her Tier 2 CRC in Knowledge Translation, Estabrooks was re-appointed to a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Knowledge Translation[12] and received the Confederation of Alberta Faculty Associations Distinguished Academic Award.[13] She was also elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing[14] and appointed to the Alzheimer Society of Canada's Culture Change in Long Term Care Homes Steering Committee.[15] By 2014, Estabrooks was listed amongst the highest cited researchers in her field[16] and awarded the CIHR Betty Havens Prize for Knowledge Translation in Aging.[17] Two years later, she was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada for "translating research into health care improvements for older Canadians."[18]
In 2018, Estabrooks and Andrea Gruneir received $512,551 from the CIHR in funding for their project Longitudinal Monitoring for Quality of Care at the End of Life in Nursing Homes.[19] She was also inducted into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame.[20]
