1. Overview of Institute
Manitoba Nursing Research Institute
The Manitoba Nursing Research Institute (MNRI) was established in October 1985 and is committed to fostering nursing research in Manitoba. The MNRI is supported by the Faculty of Nursing and operates to support and advance the research and scholarly activities of faculty, graduate students and community nurse researchers.
The MNRI is located within the Helen Glass Centre for Nursing. In January 2006, the MNRI relocated from the third floor of the Helen Glass Centre to the main floor to increase the visibility of nursing research within the University of Manitoba.
The new location of the MNRI consists of 1,448 square feet of space and features five research offices (rooms 212, 215, 216, 217 and 206). Room 212 is the main office of the MNRI and features a reception area. Research activities of the MNRI are supported by the four workstation Research Assistant office (room 215) that also houses a resource library
including journals, books, MNRI reports, and other research and government reports. The other three offices include the Director’s Office (room 217) and the offices of the Research Associates (room 206 & 216). A display board outside the MNRI features upcoming Nursing Research Seminars and highlights the research activities of faculty members.
Staff of the MNRI staff include the Director, (Dr. Maureen Heaman), an Administrative Secretary (Carol Cadigal), two Research Associates (Diane Cepanec; David Hultin‐ July 1, 2006 – June 29, 2007), a part‐time Statistician (Mary Cheang), as well as several undergraduate student Research Assistants.

6.2.1 RESEARCHER IN RESIDENCE
2006
Dr. Carole A. Estabrooks Professor and Research Chair in Knowledge Translation Faculty of Nursing, University of Alberta
On April 25 and 26, 2006, the MNRI welcomed its first researcher in residence, Dr. Carole Estabrooks from the Faculty of Nursing, University of Alberta. During her visit, Dr. Estabrooks met individually with several faculty members and community nurse researchers to discuss their research projects. She also delivered two engaging lectures; on April 25th, “Lost in Translation: Evidence‐based Practice in Nursing” and on April 26th, “Knowledge Translation: Current Thoughts on the State of the Science”.

2007
Dr. Joy Johnson RN, PhD Professor & Associate Director, Graduate Programs and Research School of Nursing, University of British Columbia
The Faculty of Nursing was pleased to host Dr. Joy Johnson from the University of British Columbia as the Researcher in Residence from April 10 – 13, 2007. Dr. Johnson’s research interests and funded projects include marijuana use in adolescents, smoking cessation in new mothers, and smoking behaviours and attitudes in the mental health care system. In her lecture to the Faculty, entitled “From Neurotransmitters to Neighbourhoods: New Frontiers in Behaviour Change”, she cautioned nurses that addressing only attitudes and behaviours when encouraging behaviour change in individuals was not enough. It is crucial to take into consideration the biology of the individual in addition to the social context within which the behaviour change is proposed. The public lecture took a public health focus in “The New Public Health: Refocusing on the Ecology of Health and Health Behaviour.” Again, consideration of the ethnography and the culture within which behaviours develop and behaviour changes occur are vital when attempting to intervene. Dr. Johnson also met with faculty and graduate students, in small group discussions and in consultation around a variety of topics of mutual interest. Additionally, Dr. Johnson met with nursing staff and graduate students at the Health Sciences Centre where she had some exposure to the clinical community within which the University of Manitoba’s research takes place.

Quality Assurance Projects
At the request of the Dean of the Faculty of Nursing, the MNRI conducts a series of quality assurance projects on an annual basis. During the past year, these projects have included collecting information from current students and graduates as well as employers of nursing graduates including:
• Exit interviews of 2006 graduates of the Faculty of Nursing Graduate Program
• Survey of exiting undergraduate students related to their employment status and preferences
• Follow‐up survey of graduates from the four year undergraduate program related to their education and work experiences following graduation
• Survey of employers on their perspective on the extent to which new graduates are prepared to meet each of the entry level competencies defined by the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba
The most recently completed reports are available on our website at http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/nursing/research/mnri/283.htm .

10. Future growth of the Institute
The Faculty of Nursing is currently in the process of responding to the Senate Committee on University Research (SCUR) Sub‐Committee Report on the Review of the Manitoba Nursing Research Institute, and has submitted a proposal which proposes a revitalization of the MNRI. The main changes we propose to initiate as a result of the SCUR report will be changing the name to the Manitoba Centre for Nursing and Health Research (MCNHR) to reflect a broader interdisciplinary focus on health research, developing a formal process for appointing members (e.g., Research Affiliates and Professional Affiliates) to the Centre, assuming a stronger provincial role in nursing and health research, and more actively fostering partnerships and interdisciplinary collaborations between members of the Centre with researchers from other faculties and universities and with health care practitioners in the community. The revised Mission, Vision and Goals of the Centre will be supported by a larger and more diverse Advisory Board and a revised committee structure.

Policies
Procedures and policies pertaining to using MNRI Services for SPSS and Statistical Consultation
SPSS
MNRI support with SPSS is limited to the technical aspects of using SPSS and the support provided is meant to build graduate student capacity in using SPSS for quantitative data analysis. The MNRI provides training (group workshops and one-on-one training) and technical support in using SPSS through its Research Associates.
• The MNRI provides technical assistance and troubleshooting in using SPSS with respect to dataset construction, data entry, data cleaning and verification, data transformation and data analysis.
Appendix B
• Graduate students can purchase data entry services through the MNRI (contact the MNRI for current rates for this service).
• The MNRI will not perform data transformations or data analysis for graduate students as it is expected that graduate students will carry out their own data transformations and analysis.
• Graduate students can request a one-on-one appointment with a MNRI’s Research Associate to assist them in setting up their SPSS dataset, to assist them in data cleaning and to answer technical questions on using SPSS for data transformation and analysis.
• Graduate students should come to appointments with the Research Associate knowing what they want to do (e.g. Create an SPSS dataset, record a variable, compute a scale score, calculate a t-test, etc,) and the Research Associate will provide assistance with how to use SPSS in doing what they want.
• The MNRI’s Research Associate will not provide guidance or advisement on data collection, analysis, interpretation or presentation of the findings. It is the responsibility of the thesis advisor and/or committee members to provide direction and advice for thesis/practicum work including data collection, analysis and interpretation.
Statistical Consultation
Graduate students have access to statistical consultation services through the MNRI . If grant funds are not available to support the consultation, the MNRI will cover up to a maximum of 5 hours of statistical consultation services through the part-time statistician Mary Cheang. Mary Cheang is available for statistical consultation on Thursdays and appointments must be booked through the MNRI (474-9080).
Consulting the statistician:
• The graduate student should discuss appropriate use of statistical consultation services with her/his thesis advisor before making an appointment with the statistician.
• The graduate student should inform his/her advisor about what has been discussed with the statistician. The advisor should attend the initial meeting with the statistician.
• At the first meeting, the graduate student should come prepared with a brief summary of the thesis topic and a list of questions.
• Although there is no requirement on the point in the thesis at which a graduate student should seek out statistical consultation, likely the best time is at the conceptualization stage once the literature review has been initiated.
• The number of meetings with the statistician that graduate students require will vary. A typical nursing research project requires between 5-10 hours of statistical consultation. The MNRI will cover up to a maximum of 5 hours of statistical consultation for graduate students who do not have grant funding for their research projects.
• The statistician is a consultant. Graduate students are expected to input their data and carry out analysis based on advice and consultation from their advisor, committee members and the statistician.
• The graduate student is asked to keep the MNRI informed of his/her progress in the use of statistical consultation.
