Bio/Research
Since beginning her career in 1989 as a registered nurse in Winnipeg, Barbara Chyzzy has worked worldwide. Within Canada, her nursing practice spanned neurosurgical units, intensive care and home care settings. Overseas, her work included primary care in rural clinics in Vietnam and the Canadian Embassy in Korea and international emergency medical evacuations. Eventually, her path led her to academia, where she joined Toronto Metropolitan University as a professor at the Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing in January 2020.
In her PhD research, Chyzzy brought technology and life together to build community support for young mothers, where she looked at how peer support might make a difference. Chyzzy’s research aimed to look for answers, including a meta-analysis to find a better sense of the scope of mental health challenges for young mothers, after she noticed a higher level of postpartum depression in teen moms, and corresponding health outcomes for children.
