Lindsay Jibb, a scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and assistant professor at the University of Toronto's Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, has received a 2024 Council of Ontario Universities Programs in Nursing (COUPN) Scholarship Into Practice Award.
The award celebrates excellence in nursing research and further recognizes the contributions of the recipients to nursing education and the broader nursing community.
Jibb, who holds the Signy Hildur Eaton Chair in Pediatric Nursing Research, was recognized for her innovative program of research which explores digital solutions to pediatric cancer pain and quality of life for children and their caregivers. Her work seeks to better understand the pain and stress of children and adolescents with cancer and co-design digital solutions to help them and their families self-manage pain.
“My goal is to help alleviate the burden of cancer pain on children and their families, helping them receive quality pain management that improves their well-being,” says Jibb. “It is an honour to be given this award and have the important work that nursing researchers do be recognized.”
Kelly Metcalfe, associate dean of research and external relations at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, says Jibb is “an expert in the field of child health, and her research working to directly impact and improve the lives of children with cancer makes her an exceptional model nursing scholarship, and well-deserving of this award.”
