OverviewAI-generated summary

Pearman D. Parker, Assistant Professor in Nursing Research at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, studies health literacy and information accessibility, particularly concerning cancer survivorship and patient education materials. Her work has examined the readability, understandability, and actionability of print materials for breast cancer survivors and explored the challenges faced by young women transitioning out of active breast cancer treatment. Parker has also investigated health information quality on platforms like Google, assessing COVID-19 information using the Quality Evaluation Scoring Tool (QUEST). Her research extends to healthcare workforce configurations and their impact on patient outcomes, including length of stay and charges for hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure. She has published 38 papers, with an h-index of 9 and 489 citations. Key collaborators include Taren Swindle, Tremaine B. Williams, and Emel Seker, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
