Dr. Trinkoff’s longitudinal study of more than 2,600 registered nurses examined the relationship among long work hours, needlestick injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. More recently, her research has focused on the impact of employee assistance professionals and other stakeholders (employers, treatment providers) on assisting nurses with substance use problems. She has continued her focus on the implications of nurses’ work environments (schedule, demands) on patient outcomes. She has been studying long-term care settings, including certified nursing assistant preparation and training, nursing home leadership, and their impact on resident care outcomes.
