Samia Abdelnabi

As a nurse scientist and nurse midwife, Dr. Abdelnabi’s research focuses on improving psychosocial well-being in Muslim women experiencing infertility. Her most recent work includes completing her dissertation on the lived experiences of second-generation Muslim American women with infertility and understanding to what extent sociocultural and religious factors impinge on the decision to seek treatment in reproductive health. Her future directions include creating and developing interventional programs using Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) to promote or enhance psychosocial well-being in Muslim American women with infertility. Dr. Abdelnabi is also interested in developing programs to promote reproductive and sexual health education in racial, ethnic, and marginalized groups.
