Stacen Keating, PhD, RN, is a clinical associate professor at NYU Meyers College of Nursing. Teaching in both the undergraduate and DNP programs, her focus relates to applied epidemiology concepts and the overall importance of population and public health science for nurses. Her primary scholarship focus is on the global preparation of nurse educators in creating a healthcare workforce that can meet UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. She is currently working toward certification in the area of instructional design methods from NYU’s School of Professional Studies, in order to inform her curriculum development work. Disseminating instructional design knowledge has the ability to help her promote the development and delivery of nursing education globally that is steeped in evidence-based best practices for teaching and learning.

From a leadership perspective, Keating sits on the advisory council of Nurses International, a non-profit organization creating open-access educational resources for nursing students and educators in low-and-middle-income countries. The Nurses International Open Access BSN is an integrated program that includes classroom lectures, student and instructor references, assignments, and assessment items. Keating is also actively engaged in the Alliance of Nurses for a Healthy Environment as part of a sub-committee promoting the engagement of nurses to impact governmental policy to take responsible action to improve environmental health and address climate change.

Among her many honors, Keating was a fellow of the Hartford Institute on Geriatrics and a scholar at the John A. Hartford Foundation's Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity program. She also won a faculty award from the College of New Jersey Support of Scholarly Activities

Psychometric testing of the immigrant Barriers to Health Care Scale: Hispanic Version

Keating, S., Carlson, B., Jimenez, S., Estrada, J., Gastelum, B., Romero, T., & Riegel, B. (2009). Nursing and Health Sciences, 11(3), 235-243. 10.1111/j.1442-2018.2009.00446.x
Abstract
Abstract
Barriers to care contribute to health inequities for immigrant populations. Although inadequate health insurance is a known barrier, other factors impact the issue. Few instruments exist to specifically measure these other barriers. The purpose of this study was to test the Immigrant Barriers to Health Care Scale - Hispanic Version. It was first pilot-tested in southern California with a Mexican population. After refinement, the instrument was tested in a north-eastern sample of diverse Hispanic adults. The data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. Factor loadings and communalities were used to assess the adequacy of the scale's items. Six items were deleted due to ambiguous factor loadings. The final 11 items loaded onto four factors and explained 54.58% of the variance. The coefficient alpha was 0.81 for the instrument. The Immigrant Barriers to Health Care Scale is a reliable and valid tool. Its further use and reporting with other socially and economically disadvantaged groups is advised.

Abstract
Abstract
Rationale Over the last decade, in order to close the safety and health care quality chasm, there has been a growing imperative to translate evidence-based research into practice. Aims and Objectives This study examines the major facilitators and barriers of implementing in a large US insurance organization - Aetna Corporation - an evidence-based model of care, the Transitional Care Model, which has been rigorously tested over the past twenty years by a multidisciplinary team at the University of Pennsylvania. Methods Semi-structured interviews of 19 project leaders, case managers, and transitional care nurses were conducted during two phases of translation - start-up and roll out. Qualitative analysis was used to identify more than a dozen key barriers to and facilitators of translation in these two critical phases. Results Six facilitators and seven barriers that are consistent with the literature were identified during and categorized as either start-up or roll-out. Conclusion The combined results have important practical implications for other, subsequent translational efforts and for assisting providers, policy makers, payers, and other change agents in integrating evidence-based practice with "real world" management.
