Dr Ruth Wei Lecturer, Nursing

Dr Ruth Wei PhD has 30 years’ experience in nursing practice, education and research in Australia and China and has expertise in cross-cultural care and quality improvement in nursing. She has worked as a registered nurse in China and a scheduled medicine registered nurse (rural and isolated practice) in Australia, and in a broad range of settings from intensive care units, emergency department, surgical wards to community settings in both countries. Currently, she is a lecturer in the Discipline of Nursing at Murdoch University, teaching and supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students in a variety of topics. One of her special areas of interest is palliative care and end-of-life care, and death education.

Ruth’s research interests focus on palliative care and end-of-life care and quality improvement. Ruth is the principal investigator on an ongoing research project to explore the expectation, experience, and perceptions of palliative care in Chinese migrants living in Australia and is also a chief investigator in a work-life integration and well-being research project.

Ruth endorses that palliative care is fundamental to health and human dignity and is a basic human right. Furthermore, with rapidly growing international migrants, culturally appropriate care is essential and is grounded in the importance of cultural competency and cultural safety when providing care in a pluralistic society. Ruth’s’ presentation will provide an overview of a systematic review study about the experience and perception of Chinese immigrants who have received palliative care.
