Vico Chiang, PhD, MHA, BN, RN, is an Associate Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Nursing. He is also a fellow of the Hong Kong Academy of Nursing for his contributions to critical care, and nursing education.
The focus of Dr. Chiang’s research is on psychosocial support and mental health of families across the life course. He explores topics such as mental health of families living in the community; home-dwelling couples where one spouse experienced a stroke; coping and stress management among family members of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit; recovery experiences and family processes of survivors after disasters; and informal care of older family members.
The goals of Dr. Chiang’s body of research are to: 1) generate evidence for the practice of family focused health care, and 2) develop a model of caring practice for families coping and living with the adversities of illnesses and traumatic events. He uses a variety of psychosocial and family health measurement instruments in his work including the Stability of Activities in the Family Environment Scale (SAFE-23).
