Omorowa Obanor recalled a moment in her life that resonated with her long after her family moved to the U.S. from Nigeria when she was in high school. A nurse helped her through an experience in Nigeria’s health care system. Years later, Obanor is a doctor of nursing practice at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, which is part of CommonSpirit Health, a nonpro t Catholic health care system. Obanor’s research in 2021 resulted in a 9.5% reduction in surgical site infection readmission at St. Luke’s. Community Impact spoke with Obanor about how her research impacts patient health. Responses were edited for length, style and clarity.

WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC? Initially it was overwhelming as we geared into practices that we needed to do and practices that were in place to care for our patients. We just took that in and jumped right into action, as nurses would do. After that initial concern was gone, I think communication, especially here, was very strong. We gain our con dence with each day. We’re resilient.
WHAT HAS KEPT YOU MOTIVATED?
came in with and understand the plan of care for them to get better. You should be involved. You should leave a facility understanding the plan of care. I think every patient should say they feel empowered knowing exactly what’s going on. TALK A BIT MORE ABOUT THE RESEARCH ASPECT OF NURSING. At CommonSpirit, nurse research- ers have access to an ethics board, evidence-based counsel and mentors
to guide you as you go through your research. I continue to monitor quality metrics and make sure we’re on the right track. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WISH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT NURSES KNEW? I think the diversity of nursing is something to be aware of. Nurses also do research. ... They are critical thinkers who do more than just be there to provide your medication. They’re advocates for patients.
