Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Law
  • Health care

Palliative care, Nursing, MEDLINE, Family medicine and Quality of life are her primary areas of study. Her primary area of study in Palliative care is in the field of End-of-life care. Her study looks at the relationship between Nursing and fields such as Qualitative research, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Her study in MEDLINE is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Alternative medicine, Physical therapy, Clinical psychology and COPD. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Patient satisfaction, Clinical audit, Psychosocial, Psychiatry and Patient participation. Her Quality of life research focuses on Curative care and how it connects with Spiritual care.

Her most cited work include:

  • A comparison of symptom prevalence in far advanced cancer, AIDS, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and renal disease (834 citations)
  • Factors influencing death at home in terminally ill patients with cancer: systematic review. (740 citations)
  • Measuring quality of life: Using quality of life measures in the clinical setting. (725 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Irene J Higginson mainly investigates Palliative care, Nursing, Family medicine, MEDLINE and Physical therapy. Her work on End-of-life care as part of general Palliative care study is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her End-of-life care research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Demography and Gerontology.

Her Nursing study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Qualitative research and Audit. She combines subjects such as Patient satisfaction, Cancer and Curative care with her study of Family medicine. Her work carried out in the field of Physical therapy brings together such families of science as COPD, Quality of life, Randomized controlled trial and Internal medicine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Palliative care (64.11%)
  • Nursing (30.75%)
  • Family medicine (26.23%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Palliative care (64.11%)
  • Family medicine (26.23%)
  • Nursing (30.75%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her main research concerns Palliative care, Family medicine, Nursing, Pandemic and Gerontology. Her Palliative care research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Qualitative research, Health care, MEDLINE and Quality of life. Her Quality of life study also includes

  • Intensive care medicine that intertwine with fields like Mirtazapine and Disease,
  • Psychological intervention that connect with fields like Rehabilitation.

Her Family medicine research also works with subjects such as

  • Intervention together with Randomized controlled trial and Physical therapy,
  • Retrospective cohort study which is related to area like Place of death. The various areas that Irene J Higginson examines in her Nursing study include Service and Health professionals. Her Older people study in the realm of Gerontology connects with subjects such as Context.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Integration of oncology and palliative care: a Lancet Oncology Commission (182 citations)
  • The escalating global burden of serious health-related suffering: projections to 2060 by world regions, age groups, and health conditions (133 citations)
  • What is the impact of population ageing on the future provision of end-of-life care? Population-based projections of place of death. (124 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Law
  • Health care

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Palliative care, Nursing, Gerontology, Qualitative research and Pandemic. Her Palliative care research incorporates themes from Health care, MEDLINE, Quality of life, Family medicine and Intensive care medicine. She has researched Health care in several fields, including Cross-sectional study and End-of-life care.
