Respiratory Symptoms

Margaret Campbell is a Professor at Wayne State University College of Nursing. Her research focuses on respiratory symptoms for patients approaching the end of life. She developed the Respiratory Distress Observation Scale for use when patients cannot provide a symptom self-report. This system is now widely used across the U.S. and has been adapted with several non-English translations. She is widely published, serves on journal editorial boards, and reviews manuscripts.
