About
Hailey Nalitt is a clinical researcher whose work bridges the critical gap between complex surgical interventions and patient mental health. Her primary research focus lies in the psychosocial outcomes of patients undergoing total pancreatectomy and autologous islet cell transplant (TPIAT), a demanding procedure for severe pancreatic disease. In her most cited paper, "Psychosocial outcomes 1‐year post total pancreatectomy and autologous islet cell transplant," Nalitt conducted a pioneering longitudinal study assessing emotional well-being across adults, adolescents, and children—alongside their parents—before and after surgery. This work, which has garnered 7 citations, revealed nuanced shifts in psychological functioning, highlighting the need for integrated mental health support in transplant care. By systematically capturing patient-reported outcomes, Nalitt has provided foundational evidence for improving pre-surgical counseling and post-operative psychosocial care. Her research is notable for its inclusive, multi-age approach and its emphasis on the often-overlooked emotional toll of life-altering surgery. For students and clinicians alike, Nalitt’s work underscores that successful surgical outcomes depend as much on psychological resilience as on medical technique.
