معرفی
Ms. Mary Roberts is a Clinical Lecturer at the Westmead Clinical School within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. Her research focuses on chronic respiratory diseases, particularly Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), with an emphasis on breathlessness management, pulmonary rehabilitation, and telehealth interventions. She has led and contributed to studies evaluating non-pharmacological strategies such as hand-held fans for symptom relief and integrated care models for chronic disease management.
Her work spans clinical trials (e.g., the Integrated Text Messaging [ITM] trial for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation) and guideline development, such as the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand Position Statement on Oxygen Use. Roberts collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based practices, including telemonitoring and nurse-led interventions.
Key contributions include assessing symptom burden in COPD populations, optimizing pulmonary rehabilitation protocols, and exploring undernutrition in chronic respiratory conditions. Her publications reflect a commitment to translating research into clinical practice, with a focus on patient-centered care and healthcare system innovation.
