SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Contribution to Nursing Education
Published 3 textbooks and 3 practical records, Contributed chapter
❖ Textbooks on Psychiatric nursing and Psychology for nurses have been written as per
the Indian Nursing Council syllabus. Both the books have been recommended by many
universities in the Nursing curriculum at both undergraduate and Post Graduate levels.
These books have played a significant role in improving the knowledge, skills and
26
nursing standards. Practical Record Books have improved patient documentation and
made clinical recordings more systematic and scientific.
Initiation of Innovative Nursing Interventions ❖ In 2011, I have undergone Body-Mind-Spirit (BMS) practitioner course at Centre of
Behavioral Health, Hong Kong University, Hong Kong. These Eastern based holistic
nursing interventions were implemented on depressive patients (120 Nos.) at SNR
District Hospital, Kolar with a 6-month follow up as a part of Ph.D study. This study
mainly highlighted the simple innovative nursing interventions which can be followed
by any nurse in a psychiatric set up. This study added innovative nursing interventions
to psychiatric nursing field.
❖ Was a co-investigator in NIMHANS intra mural fund research project involved in
development of video film (Nava Jeevana) for Alcoholic patients. As a part of the
study titled “Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of integrated audio visual
aided interactive relapse prevention intervention among individuals with alcohol
dependence” the video was tested on 60 alcoholic patients at Dharwad Institute of
Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (DIMHANS), Dharwad with 6-month follow up
during 2014 to know the mean relapse rate. This video development added innovative
nursing intervention for de-addiction patients.
❖ As a body mind spirit practitioner two related projects were taken up under the aegis of
Indian Council for Social Science Research, New Delhi and Hong Kong University,
Hong Kong.
Contributions to Nursing Research ❖ Published 30 research articles – Pubmed Indexed journals (14), other indexed journals
(10), Indian nursing journals (6), and concept articles (18).
❖ Presented 23 scientific papers in National and International Conferences
❖ Participated as Resource person in 56 National and International Conferences
❖ Organized workshops, conferences and short-term training programmes for nurses
❖ Involved in Research tool validation and guidance in research projects to nursing
students of various colleges
❖ Recognized Ph.D(N) guide under National Consortium for Ph.D(N) under RGUHS,
Karnataka, India
❖ Guided 15 PG students and presently guiding 7Ph.D students in Nursing
The above activities helped in dissemination of nursing knowledge and provided impetus to
evidenced based practice.

NARRATIVE STATEMENT
28
Over the past decade, nurses have been the focus of the movement that reflects probably
more changes than in the past decades combined. It became evident that the transformation of
new knowledge into clinically useful forms was required to produce a meaningful impact on
performance and patient outcomes.
As an educator and an author, I have always felt that burgeoning need to address this issue
and fill the gap in my own small way. A close look at the issue revealed that a part of the
difficulty was in improving the literacy among student nurses and the other in developing a
positive perception among them. No later did I realize this, I began channeling my efforts and
resources and came out with textbooks in 3 different disciplines which have evinced keen
interest among the student community.I have used every conference, workshop and
community outreach program as a tool to further this philosophy. To improve the prowess
among students, I have also been authoring research articles at every given opportunity.To
meet my societal obligation as a nursing professional, I have taken up 2 funded projects with
an aim to bring a change among the lives of adolescent girls and alcoholics using well
accepted evidenced based practices which involve body-mind-spirit techniques. To set an
example and carry the torch ahead I have been guiding many a PG and Ph.D nursing students,
and urging them to take up intervention studies meant to improve and transform health care.
