Research
Anna has current collaborations include projects with the Royal Adelaide Hospital investigating physiotherapy students perceptions of stress and anxiety on clinical placements, Flinders Medical Centre investigating how to faciliate early mobilisation for inpatients, Flinders University determing physical activity targets for older adults during hospitalisation, Curtin University developing and implementing an iPad based clinical skills assessment tool and the University of Sydney in the development and validation of a multidisciplinary assessment tool in clinical simulation.
Anna has published a reporting guideline to assist in the complete and transparent reporting for research in evidence-based practice educational interventions (GREET). Following a published study protocol, the development process for the GREET is included as an exemplar on the EQUATOR network (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) an international database for reporting guidelines, http://www.equator-network.org/toolkits/developers. The GREET reporting guideline is also available in Japanese.
