Dr. Campbell has focused her research on assessing and treating dyspnea among patients nearing the end of life across clinical settings including the ICU, acute care settings, and home hospice. She developed the Respiratory Distress Observation Scale, the only known instrument to assess respiratory distress when the patient cannot self-report dyspnea. This clinical and research tool is in wide clinical use in more than 50 US sites and 11 countries and has been translated into Dutch, French, Chinese, Italian, Greek, and Tamil (India). Dr. Campbell is a recognized leader and scholar in care at the end of life and is widely published on the topics of dyspnea assessment and treatment.
