由關懷出發，以研究改變未來
在東華學院，展開你的護理學博士之旅。
護理 -以關懷、證據及社會責任為依歸。當護理走到博士學習層面，它成為滋養新知識、改善臨床實踐、影響醫療政策及社會福祉的強大平台。對於想為醫療界貢獻更多的醫療護理專業人員，護理學哲學博士課程可透過重要的問題、嚴謹的研究，把研究結論轉化為有意義而真正能改善病人、家庭、社群及醫療制度的途徑。
東華學院的護理學哲學博士課程，是香港首個由自資專上院校開辦的護理學博士課程，專為有志提供護理科學及解決當前健康問題挑戰的研究人員、護理管理領袖、學者及醫療專才而設。
在東華學院校長、國際知名護理學者陳慧慈教授的學術領導下，博士生可參與具前瞻性的研究與跨學科合作。
陳教授的學術之路，源於她早年在精神健康護理前線的專業經驗。正因曾經貼近病人的需要，她更深信：真正有價值的研究，不應只停留在論文之中，而應該回應現實中的痛點，最終回到病人、家庭與社區之中。
她的研究領域涵蓋精神健康護理、心理社會介入、數碼健康，以及將研究證據連繫至臨床與社區實踐的轉化研究。多年來，陳教授參與超過 120 項資助研究項目，並於國際醫療及護理期刊發表超過 400 篇學術論文。她亦擁有豐富的研究生指導經驗，曾與多位學生共同發表研究成果，致力扶持新一代護理研究者，讓更多有使命感的專業人士，能以研究延續對護理的熱誠。
陳教授的學術成就備受國際肯定。2021 至 2025 年之間，她連續多年入選史丹福大學「全球前 2% 頂尖科學家」，並位列香港具領導地位的護理學者之列。她於 2013 年當選為美國護理科學院院士，並入選國際護理研究者名人堂。2025 年，她更榮獲 Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing 頒發的 Nell J. Watts Lifetime Achievement in Nursing Award，成為首位獲此殊榮的香港學者。這份國際肯定，不只是個人的榮耀，更讓香港護理研究在世界舞台上被看見。
我們鼓勵博士生開展具學術深度、社會關懷及專業價值的研究。我們相信每一個研究問題，都可以從真實的照護經驗出發；每一項研究成果，都有機會回應病人、家庭和社區的真正需要。東華學院的護理學哲學博士課程特別適合有志於精神健康與身心福祉、心理社會照護、人口老化與慢性病管理、數碼健康、醫療教育及實證為本實踐等領域深造的人士。
如果你準備好將護理的熱誠延伸至更遠的地方，將臨床經驗昇華為研究力量，將關懷化作改變醫療未來的影響力，東華學院護理學哲學博士課程，將與你同行。嚴謹而富啟發性的旅程，讓你成為獨立的研究學者、實踐者以及護理與醫療轉型的領袖。

Begin Your PhD in Nursing Journey at Tung Wah College
Advance nursing knowledge. Transform healthcare practice. Lead research with real-world impact.
Nursing is a profession grounded in care, evidence, and social responsibility. At the doctoral level, it becomes a powerful platform for generating new knowledge, improving clinical practice, influencing health policy, and shaping the future of healthcare. For nurses and healthcare professionals who aspire to extend their contribution beyond individual patient care, a doctoral study in Nursing offers the opportunity to ask important questions, conduct rigorous research, and translate findings into meaningful improvements for patients, families, communities, and health systems.
Tung Wah College’s Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing programme is the first PhD in Nursing programme offered by self-financing tertiary institution in Hong Kong and is designed for prospective researchers, nurse leaders, educators, and healthcare professionals who are committed to advancing nursing science and addressing contemporary health challenges.
Under the leadership and guidance of Professor Sally Chan, President of Tung Wah College and an internationally recognised nursing scholar, students will join a research environment that values academic excellence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and practical relevance. Professor Chan’s scholarly work has been shaped by her early professional experience in mental health nursing and her enduring belief that research should respond to real-world healthcare needs. Her research interests include mental healthcare, psychosocial interventions, digital health, and translational approaches that connect research evidence with clinical and community practice.
Professor Chan has participated in more than 120 funded research projects and published over 400 papers in international healthcare and nursing journals. She has extensive experience in postgraduate supervision and has co-authored numerous publications with her students, reflecting her commitment to mentoring emerging scholars and developing the next generation of nursing researchers.
Her academic standing has received significant international recognition. From 2021 to 2025, Professor Chan was consistently listed among Stanford University’s World’s Top 2% Scientists and ranked among the leading nursing scholars in Hong Kong. She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing in 2013 and inducted into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame. In 2025, she received the Nell J. Watts Lifetime Achievement in Nursing Award from Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, becoming the first scholar from Hong Kong to receive this prestigious honour.
At Tung Wah College we encourage doctoral students to pursue research that is intellectually rigorous, socially responsive, and professionally relevant. The programme is particularly well positioned for those interested in areas such as mental health and well-being, psychosocial care, ageing and chronic disease management, digital health, healthcare education, and evidence-based practice. Students will have opportunities to engage with a research culture that emphasises innovation, interdisciplinarity, and the translation of research outcomes into healthcare practice and community benefit.
If you are ready to take the next step in your professional and academic journey, the PhD in Nursing programme at Tung Wah College offers a rigorous and inspiring pathway to develop as an independent researcher, a reflective practitioner, and a leader in nursing and healthcare transformation.
