Welcome and Outcomes Howdy, friends! On behalf of the entire Sigma Board of Directors, we offer you a hearty western welcome to historic San Antonio, Texas, and the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) 47th Biennial Convention. Thank you for joining us and 2,000 of your colleagues from more than 50 countries around the world.

Beyond educational content and connection opportunities, the 47th Biennial Convention officially caps off our 100th Anniversary celebration. As we look to the next 100 years, we will be asking you to share your ideas for the future. We believe Sigma’s recognition and support of nurses is as great and relevant today as it was when we were founded. We believe that love, courage, and honor still do—and always will—matter. To help you maximize your convention experience, we encourage you to download and use the Sigma event app. It contains the most up-to-date session information and allows you to build a schedule to successfully navigate your way through the multiple options available for you each day. Along the way, we trust you will find common ground with the powerhouse of nurses assembled at this event. Please take time to enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes of our host city with friends old and new. Perhaps we’ll see you on the Riverwalk. Sigma’s 47th Biennial Convention offers you an unmatched opportunity to connect with colleagues, restore your spirit, and find ways to Be Bold. We hope you’ll make the most of this convention, and we look forward to sharing these days with you.

Grant Recipient Testimonials “This research will provide the first steps to the theoretical constructions and start an epistemological dialog from the Global-South to the Global-North. The essence of being a nurse in Latin America will be described and theoretical postulates to overcome language barriers in theoretical development and promote the advancement and growth of the core disciplinary nursing knowledge.”

“This study will provide critical data needed to design culturally appropriate physical activity (PA) interventions for middle-aged US South Asian Indian (SAI) women at risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The data gathered will contribute to the national goals of reducing health disparities among minority groups and chronic conditions that affect the health of individuals, families, and communities by informing the future development and testing of interventions to promote PA among middle-aged US SAI women at risk for T2D. The overall goal of this study is to promote health and reduce mortality and the health disparities related to T2D. The proposed research is innovative because it seeks to understand new, relevant knowledge regarding cultural factors that promote and/or hinder PA in this socially vulnerable, underserved, highly understudied minority population with a qualitative approach using the Theory of Planned Behavior to design focus group discussion. This is critical for informing the development of effective PA interventions to reduce the risk of chronic health conditions by understanding the factors that influence the SAI women’s participation in PA.” - Nitha Mathew Joseph, PhD, RN, CNE The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Cizik School of Nursing
