Dr. Dracup's professional career includes 35 years of experience in cardiovascular nursing and university professorships. She is recognized nationally and internationally for her investigation in the care of patients with heart disease and the effects of this disease on spouses and other family members.
Her initial research focused on the needs of spouses of terminally ill cardiac patients in the intensive care unit. In her subsequent interdisciplinary program of research, she has tested a variety of interventions designed to reduce the emotional distress experienced by cardiac patients and their family members and to reduce morbidity and mortality from sudden cardiac death.
She consistently has been awarded extramural funding for her research from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, the National Institute for Nursing Research, the American Heart Association, the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses.
Dr. Dracup has published her research in more than 300 articles and chapters, and has recently published the textbook, Intensive Coronary Care. She served as the editor of Heart & Lung for over a decade and currently is the co-editor of the American Journal of Critical Care. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, and the American Heart Association Council of Cardiovascular Nursing. She was a Fulbright Senior Scholar to Australia and is a member of the Institute of Medicine. She received the outstanding teaching award at UCLA School of Nursing on four different occasions and was awarded the American Heart Association's Eugene Braunwald Award for Academic Mentorship in 2003.
Dr. Dracup earned a Doctorate in Nursing Science from the University of California, San Francisco, a Master of Nursing degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Bachelor of Science degree from St. Xavier's University, Chicago, Illinois.
