Research impacts

Thea’s research has focused on improving how people living with cancer recognise, manage, and communicate treatment-related symptoms. Her work has contributed to understanding cancer symptom self-management, particularly in relation to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, a common and often under-recognised side effect that can significantly affect safety, function, and quality of life.

This research highlights the importance of person-centred symptom assessment and supports earlier identification of symptom burden by nurses and other health professionals. By examining patient experiences and self-management strategies, her work informs patient education and clinical communication aimed at reducing preventable harm and improving care during cancer treatment.

Alongside this, Thea is increasingly focusing her scholarly work on teaching and learning in nursing education. Her emerging interests include authentic assessment, assessment integrity, and the alignment of on-campus and off-campus clinical education. This work aims to support meaningful assessment practices and strengthen the connection between university-based learning and real-world nursing practice.
