About Dr. Lisa Marie Bernardo
I am an associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, and I maintain a private practice in fitness for women's health. I am the principal investigator of a research study funded by the Oncology Nursing Society Foundation: The Effect of a Continuing Education Program on Oncology Nurses' Knowledge of and Confidence in Recommending Exercise to Women with Breast Cancer.
The purpose of this quasi-experimental pilot study is to measure changes in oncology nurses’ knowledge of and confidence in recommending exercise to women with breast cancer before and after completing a free on-line continuing education program on exercise theory and practice for women with this disease. While the focus of our study is on oncology nurses, nurses in all areas of practice are welcome to participate. If you are interested in learning more about our study, please click here.
