The aim of Dr. Calkins’ program of research is to improve the long-term outcomes of critical illness survivors.  Her program focuses on post intensive care syndrome and improving the recovery experience of critical illness survivors after hospital discharge.  Dr. Calkins has used qualitative methods to gain a better understanding of survivors’ perceptions of their recovery and the barriers and facilitators they encountered during their recovery.  This knowledge will be used to develop and implement interventions to support survivors in the community.
