Please join us for our next Brown Bag Seminar featuring IFH’s very own Darina Petrovsky, PhD, RN, core member at the Institute for Health and Assistant Professor in the Rutgers School of Nursing. Dr. Petrovsky will be discussing her research on “Using Arts to Promote Mental Health of Older Adults.”
Before joining Rutgers University Darina Petrovsky, PhD, RN was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing funded by the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Fellowship (F32 AG060630). She received her PhD in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania in 2017. Prior to her doctoral work, she received a Masters in Nursing from Case Western Reserve University (2011) and a Bachelors of Musical Arts from the University of Michigan (2009). Her unique background in music training and nursing science has positioned her well to launch her research career with the goal of improving the lives of older adults living with cognitive impairment using non-pharmacologic approaches. Her additional research interests include ways to achieve health equity among older adults living with cognitive impairment and their caregivers as well as how music can be used to prevent cognitive decline. She was a Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Pre-Doctoral Fellow (F31 AG055148) and her past accomplishments include being selected as a 2014-2016 National Hartford Centers of Gerontological Nursing Excellence Patricia G. Archbold Scholar and 2014-2016 Jonas Nurse Leader Scholar.
