Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Janet Prvu Bettger's research investigates health and social care integration, particularly focusing on improving patient transitions and addressing unmet social needs within healthcare systems. Her work examines the effectiveness of interventions in diverse settings, including primary care-based mobile health for stroke management in rural China and integrated health and social care models in the United States. She has also studied psychological constructs, such as resilience and pain catastrophizing, as predictors of post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Further research by Bettger delves into the implementation of complex interventions and the utilization of community resource navigators, including student volunteers, to bridge health and social care gaps. Her publications also explore the longitudinal analysis of physical function in older adults, considering the effects of physical inactivity and exercise training. With a substantial body of work, Bettger has published over 300 articles, accumulating more than 7,000 citations and an h-index of 41, designating her as a highly cited researcher.
