Industry Research Activities 

Dr Malouf’s research focuses is on the transition experiences of New Graduate Nurses (NGNs) as they move into and through their first year of clinical practice. Recent new directions in research thinking include an examination of formally organised, hospital/institutionally run “transition to practice” programmes and their impact on the beginning practitioner. Methodologically, she is a qualitative researcher most comfortable in the realm of grounded theory (Charmaz, Noerager Stern, Glaser), but has a diverse understanding of the workings of qualitative inquiry.
