Donna Lamping obituary

My colleague Donna Lamping, who died of cancer aged 58, was an outstanding example of how the health and quality of life of patients can be measured. Educated and trained in Canada and the United States, led to his knowledge of art in the United Kingdom in 1992.

Donna grew up in Toronto, the daughter of Helen and Vincent Lamping, and after his degree in psychology from the University of Waterloo, received a doctoral fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada Study Research at Harvard University in the United States. His thesis, looking at how patients adapt and adjust tensions, took psychology laboratories of the University and Veterans Administration Medical Center in Boston to study the experiences of patients.

a research position at Harvard University was followed by the assistant professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Fordham University in New York and McGill University in Montreal. Looking for Donna focused on understanding the impact of the behavior of chronic disease, first treat patients with kidney disease, then go to people diagnosed with HIV and AIDS.

In McGill entered a world multidisciplinary in collaboration with epidemiologists, statisticians, economists and others. I had to demonstrate how psychology has been critical to understanding health and disease. In turn, exposure to these other disciplines has led to what became his constant concern, the measurement of patient perceptions about their own condition.

In 1991, he married Donna Itesh Sachdev, a social psychologist of language at Birkbeck College in London. The setbacks of the InterContinental maintain a relationship that makes the possibility of joining the staff of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Call wide. The attraction was mutual, as the desire to add a school psychometrist for experienced staff, a rare opportunity in the UK at that time. The high chair, Donna was appointed in 1992 was held jointly with the NHS (Parkside Health Authority).

next two decades, Donna developed questionnaires to assess the health and quality of life for patients undergoing surgery and rehabilitation, dementia and use of maternity services. In 2007 he was elected president of the International Society for Quality of Life Research and was appointed professor in 2009. In the school of tropical medicine, he served as head of a research unit and helped transform the doctoral program.

Donna was charming, intelligent and tireless. She developed insulin-dependent diabetes about 40 years, but he took in his steps. The same spirit was evident when in 2010 she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
