全球新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 大流行给开展推进科学和改善健康所需的人体研究带来了众多挑战。本文的目的是讨论美国东南部一所大型公立大学的护理学院如何应对新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 大流行期间开展研究的挑战。南卡罗来纳大学护理学院的七名教员研究人员分享了他们克服因 COVID-19 大流行而进行研究的独特挑战的经验。在研究过程、职业影响、沟通和保持士气的背景下提出了克服 COVID-19 挑战的策略。对 COVID-19 和社交距离措施的担忧阻碍了参与者的招募、入组和参与正在进行的研究。增加虚拟技术的使用和加强安全预防措施有助于研究人员克服障碍。一些因疫情而陷入停滞的教职员工的学术写作有所增加，而另一些教职员工则因额外的个人责任而减少了学术写作。各级教职员工的职业生涯都受到了这一流行病的独特影响。由于大多数教师远程工作，大学和学院加强的沟通策略为研究事业提供了支持。士气受到了不利影响，但个人和集体的各种努力帮助教师在这场毁灭性的大流行期间应对并保持正常感。教职人员及其进行为临床和公共卫生实践提供信息所需的研究的能力受到了 COVID-19 大流行的不利影响。尽管在这场前所未有的危机中开展研究面临着挑战，但教师和机构正在采取新的措施，以确保科学进步的连续性，以改善患者和人群的健康和福祉。
The global COVID-19 pandemic has brought numerous challenges for conducting the human subjects research needed to advance science and improve health. The purpose of this article is to discuss how a college of nursing at a large public university in the southeast United States has responded to the challenges of conducting research during the novel COVID-19 pandemic. Seven faculty researchers at the University of South Carolina College of Nursing share their experiences in overcoming the unique challenges of conducting research due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategies to overcome the challenges posed by COVID-19 are presented within the context of the research process, career implications, communication, and maintaining morale. Fears of COVID-19 and social distancing measures have hindered participant recruitment, enrollment, and involvement in ongoing studies. Increasing virtual technology use and enhancing safety precautions have assisted researchers to overcome barriers. Scholarly writing has increased for some faculty members whose studies have been stalled by the pandemic, yet others have seen a decline due to additional personal responsibilities. The careers of faculty members across all ranks have been uniquely affected by the pandemic. With most faculty working remotely, enhanced communication strategies at the university and college have supported the research enterprise. Morale has been adversely affected, but a variety of personal and collegial efforts have helped faculty cope and preserve a sense of normalcy during this devastating pandemic. Faculty and their ability to conduct the research needed to inform clinical and public health practice have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges of conducting research during this unprecedented crisis, faculty and institutions are taking novel steps to ensure the continuity of scientific progress for improving the health and well-being of patients and populations.
