Research Contributions

Elisabeth Spichiger has made significant contributions to the field of nursing through her research on various topics. In 2022, she explored the effect of the COPE Program on self-efficacy in mothers of preterm infants and conducted a randomized clinical trial to evaluate a cancer pain self-management intervention for outpatients. Her work in 2021 included studies on the experiences of patients and partners with prostate cancer and advanced practice nurse counseling, as well as a longitudinal observational study on symptom prevalence and health-related quality of life in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. Additionally, she has investigated learning processes associated with cancer pain self-management interventions in patients and family caregivers. Her earlier research explored the emotional and practical experiences of parents with newborns undergoing congenital heart surgery, the revision of nursing science curriculum, and predictors of constipation severity in oncology outpatients with unrelieved pain.
