KaIisch and Kalisch publish seminal research on the image of nurses in the media
1982-1986 -- Drs. Beatrice and Philip Kalisch, Professors
at the University of Michigan School of Nursing, published numerous articles
as part of the "Image of the Nurse in the Mass Media Research Project."
As co-principal investigators of this project, Drs. Kalisch and Kalisch
collected and analyzed data on hundreds of novels, television programs,
and films created in the period 1920-1980. Their research established
that the media had systematically degraded the image of nurses, and that
this was a significant factor in how nurses were viewed in the United
States. These scholars also outlined recommendations for addressing this
problem. The Truth About Nursing relies on data and recommendations
from many sources, but it gratefully acknowledges the watershed scholarship
of Drs. Kalisch and Kalisch, which provides authoritative scientific support
for our work. See our resources section
for some of their work.
