The Family Impact of Chronic Disease Advancing Frances Hill Fox Distinguished Professor Kathleen Knafl, PhD, FAAN, has been advancing the field of family nursing for decades. She is known for her contributions to the development of the Family Management Style Framework Practice (FMSF), an evidence-based conceptualization of the family response to chronic conditions. The FSMF emerged from an early collaboration between Drs. Knafl and Janet Deatrick, PhD, RN, FAAN, at Shriner’s Through Children’s Hospital. Dr. Deatrick, who was director of nursing research at the time, was asked to conduct research that would provide the basis for family-centered care at the hospital. Together, they launched studies of families’ Inquiry needs during a child’s hospitalization, family preferences for involvement in the child’s care, and family management of the child’s condition following hospitalization. SON researchers are providing “We focused on how families responded to a child’s chronic illness,” says Dr. Knafl. “We wanted to identity knowledge that can inform different patterns or styles of family response and examine the relationship between the family’s pattern of response interventions that improve the and the child’s wellbeing. We thought understanding the relationship between the pattern of family response and lives of patients. child’s wellbeing was an important first step in interven- tion development.”

Ross Distinguished Professorship to Support Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing

Carol Ross never intended to be a nurse when she trans- ferred from Mary Washington College to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1962. That sentiment may seem odd coming from an advanced practice nurse (APRN) who dedicated decades of her life to alleviating the suffering associated with psychiatric illness and mental health challenges. Yet her journey from a UNC religion major (UNC ’64) to an APRN, along with the example of her mother’s career in nursing, ultimately led Carol and her husband Coleman Ross (UNC ’65) to create the Carol Morde Ross Distinguished Professorship in Psychiatric- Mental Health Nursing. As a young mother with three sons, Carol quickly realized the value of becoming a nurse. While living in Tampa, Florida, Carol returned to school at Hillsborough Community College and earned her associate of science degree in nursing. Yet even when she was completing that degree in 1976, she never imagined working in mental health. “When I was in nursing school, the one thing I was not going to do was psychiatric nursing,” says Carol, MA, APRN, PMHCNS-BC. “I was just terrified of it.” Carol’s first nursing position was at a nursing home in Connecticut, where as head nurse she was responsible for the care of sixty patients.

Dr. Margaret Miller— Beloved Leader

On June 15, 2013, the School of Nursing lost a beloved faculty member. Dr. Margaret (Maggie) Miller passed away from complications of cancer while on a planned trip to Yosemite National Park. Maggie began her career in nursing at East Tennessee State University, where she earned her BSN and graduated magna cum laude. After working as an oncology nurse at Watts Hospital in Durham, NC, Maggie returned to school and earned her MSN from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1977. She earned a PhD in Adult and Higher Education from UNC- Chapel Hill in 1990 as well. Highly valued for her leadership skills, Maggie held administrative positions at Duke University Medical Center. After serving as Corporate Director of Nursing Education for eight years in Wisconsin, Maggie was recruited by the SON to be Director of Continuing Education. By the time Maggie retired from the SON in January 2013, she had served as Clinical Assistant Professor and Assistant Dean for 13 years. Maggie held nearly every executive position in the SON, except Dean, in a permanent or acting capacity. Her wealth of institutional knowledge, resourceful problem solving, and wisdom sustained a sense of continuity through the tenure of three Deans. Always one of the first to volunteer, Maggie was pivotal in innumerable projects at the SON, including the expansion of Carrington Hall. Maggie was also active in organizing outreach activities and frequently participated in alumni functions. For her service to alumni, Maggie was awarded the Alumni Association President’s Award in 2012. She was also recognized by the University for her outstanding contribu- tions with an Excellence in Management Award in 2011. Beyond her academic and administrative accomp- lishments, Maggie will be remembered for her thoughtful and compassionate treatment of everyone around her.
