Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.
Professor Janet Kelly is a nurse researcher and course coordinator focused on improving health care and outcomes with and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. She co-designs flexible and adaptable health journey mapping tools that identify barriers and enablers, gaps and strategies to improve care. These tools are increasing being used for quality improvement, reflective practice, education and training in renal care, cardiac care, nursing, midwifery and medicine.
Janet co-leads AKction2, a 5 year NHMRC Ideas grant with Dr Kim O'Donnell. This project brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kidney patients and their families, health professionals, academics, researchers and other key stakeholders to identify strengths and gaps and improve care. This collaborative work positions First Nations people with lived experience of kidney disease as patient experts and chief investigators, and has four nested sub studies: Indigenous governance, Peer support, Kidney journey mapping, and Cultural safety.
Janet began her nursing career at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, and then worked in midwifery, child and youth health, adolescent health, Aboriginal, women's and sexual health care across a range of urban and regional settings. Her PhD focused on Moving Forward Together in Aboriginal Women's Health, and her Master of Nursing explored the role of sexual health nurses working with young Aboriginal women in urban areas. During these studies Janet co-designed a culturally respectful participatory action research approach with Aboriginal community women that involves repeated cycles of Look & Listen, Think and Discuss, Take Action Together and Review Effectiveness. This continues to underpin her collaborative work.
