Eric Widera 2:31
Okay, Julie, why did you pick that song?
Julie Bynum 2:33
Oh, I just loved that little line I got to say where I when you asked me what song it was. I I think mostly it was to make an excuse ahead of our conversation in case I have trouble with my word finding, which I often do.
Eric Widera 2:49
Um okay.

What is the central research question about nurses’ end‑of‑life care?

Eric Widera 2:51
So let's jump into this topic um of healthcare providers. Like, do they die any differently? Um, how did you get interested in this, first of all, like as a topic?
Julie Bynum 3:05
Well, I you know, I'm always been deeply interested in the role of physicians, nurses, clinicians in what we do for older adults. You know, my interest is really about how do we get what older adults need and want to them and I think The clinical professionals have a lot of influence there. Um but the real way this paper came together is through a wonderful collaboration with Fran Grodstein at the nurses' health study. So this was actually the offshoot of several other grants that we had. Um So you know basically the nurses health study, if people know about it, they in recruited how forty years ago a very large cohort of nurses, over a hundred thousand followed them into older age. And uh They'd been studied over and over again for disease.
Julie Bynum 3:50
But I sort of turned it on its head and said, Fran, why why can't we Study them as nurses and what they do in the healthcare system. Um, can we actually flip this omelet and look at the other side for this cohort?
Alex Smith 4:03
That's brilliant because you re as you say, everybody else is trying to say, Oh no, this does generalize. And you said, actually, I wanna yeah, I wanna interested in other them be specifically because they are nurses. It's fascinating.
Lauren Hunt 4:16
I like to mention I'm I'm a part of the nurses' health study. The I guess it's like number number three, I think.
Alex Smith 4:22
Really?
Lauren Hunt 4:23
Yeah.
Alex Smith 4:24
Wow. So we have we have a participant here.
Julie Bynum 4:27
Yes. So the challenge for me then is for you for me to live long enough for you to be Medicare eligible so I can link your data to Medicare.
