背景虽然有大量关于有效招募和招募特定患者群体的挑战的文献，但对招募护士作为研究对象的最佳实践知之甚少。目的本文的目的是报告我们在在线教育计划随机试验中招募和保留的经验，以准备肿瘤科护士与患者讨论肿瘤学临床试验。方法研究人群包括目前雇用的与患者直接互动的肿瘤科护士。这项研究分为三个阶段：(1) 定性访谈，(2) 初步测试，(3) 随机试验。第三阶段分五波招募展开。研究的不同阶段以及第三阶段招募的逐步展开使我们能够测试和完善随机试验的招募和保留方法。根据对第三阶段第一波招聘后的响应率和流失情况的分析，我们做出了一些改变来改善招聘和保留，包括增加激励措施、缩短调查时间以及增加完成计划的提醒次数。结果当我们同时使用电子邮件和美国邮政邮件征集时，响应率更高。在最后阶段的第一波招募之后，我们策略的改变并没有显着提高我们的整体响应率；然而，基线后的流失率有所下降。讨论招募计划是成功临床研究的重要组成部分。使用互联网招募受试者和测试干预措施仍然是一种具有成本效益且潜在高收益的方法。我们的研究展示了几种提高受试者参与度和保留率的成功方法，包括寻求与专业组织作为赞助商或支持者的正式关系，为参与者提供有意义的激励，使调查或问卷尽可能简短，以及从一开始就计划多次后续联系。
BackgroundAlthough there is a great deal of literature regarding effective recruitment and challenges of recruiting specific patient populations, there is less known about best practices for recruitment of nurses as study subjects.ObjectivesThe purpose of this article is to report our experience with recruitment and retention for a randomized trial of an online educational program to prepare oncology nurses to discuss oncology clinical trials with patients.MethodsThe study population included currently employed oncology nurses with direct patient interaction. There were three phases of this study:(1) qualitative interviews,(2) a pilot test, and (3) the randomized trial. Phase 3 was rolled out in five waves of recruitment. The distinct phases of the study—and the gradual roll out of recruitment during Phase 3—allowed us to test and refine our recruitment and retention methods for the randomized trial. Upon analysis of our response rate and attrition after the first wave of recruitment in Phase 3, we made several changes to improve recruitment and retention, including adding incentives, shortening the survey, and increasing the number of reminders to complete the program.ResultsThe response rate was higher when we used both e-mail and US postal mail solicitations. After the first wave of recruitment in the final phase, changes in our strategies did not increase our overall response rate significantly; however, the rate of attrition following baseline declined.DiscussionRecruitment planning is an important component of successful clinical research. The use of the Internet for both recruitment of subjects and testing of interventions remains a cost-effective and potentially high yield methodology. Our research demonstrated several successful approaches to yield increased participation and retention of subjects, including seeking formal relationships with professional organizations as sponsors or supporters, providing meaningful incentives to participants, keeping surveys or questionnaires as short as possible, and planning multiple follow-up contacts from the outset.
