Caroline Frances Morrison , Ph.D., MSN

Dr. Morrison completed a 10-year tenure at Cincinnati Children’s, which included a postdoctoral fellowship in treatment adherence and self-management (T32 HD068223, NICHD). Her research foci are self-management and symptom management in stem cell transplant (SCT) and oncology. In September 2017, Dr. Morrison joined the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing as tenure-track faculty investigating factors that influence symptom development and persistence in SCT using a biobehavioral model, and how that in turn influences self-management, treatment outcomes, and quality of life. Dr. Morrison is co-PI on a project Symptomology of Survivors of Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant, a cross-sectional descriptive study to provide a baseline understanding of the prevalence and factors associated with ongoing symptomology in survivors of pediatric SCT. Data from this study are currently being published. Dr. Morrison was also awarded two grants from the Oncology Nursing Foundation and the University of Cincinnati Cancer Institute Surivvorship program to complete pilot research in self-management and symptoms of adult survivors of SCT. In working with adult oncology populations, health disparities in treatment-related outcomes such as symptoms and functional status have also become an interest and will be a focus of future work.
