NURSING RESEARCH: PSYCHOSOCIAL ONCOLOGY AND HIV/AIDS

产品说明：宾夕法尼亚大学的Ruth McCorkle博士提出了一项研究培训计划，该计划将资助心理社会肿瘤学领域的博士前和博士后学生护士研究人员，并将目前的培训扩大到包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病。 这是对目前的前和博士后培训计划的竞争性更新。 研究培训计划是中心的一个组成部分，为推进护理严重疾病。 心理社会肿瘤学是使用3个概念性研究领域定义的：1）有风险的人的特征，诊断和治疗; 2）个人的社会环境的特征;和3）治疗环境的特征。 这三个一般领域和具体组成部分的细节是相互关联的，为科学探究提供了机会。该计划的目标是：1）为博士前学生提供心理社会肿瘤学和艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面的培训，2）准备博士后水平的护士在心理社会肿瘤学和艾滋病毒/艾滋病领域进行独立研究，3）加速研究培训过程并进入研究生涯，4）促进教师和学员之间的合作和指导机会，5）通过培养一支精通科学探究过程的研究人员队伍，促进护理科学的发展，特别是涉及心理社会肿瘤学和艾滋病毒/艾滋病领域的问题。博士前课程准备与必要的概念化和实施心理社会肿瘤学和艾滋病毒/艾滋病临床研究的技能知识的开始研究。 目前的博士课程包括8门必修核心课程，重点是当代护理知识，理论与研究的关系，研究方法，统计学以及领导知识和技能。 该计划还包括6个相关的领域课程，这些课程是从大学内的其他部门或专业学校学习的。博士后计划的目的是促进学员在心理社会肿瘤学和艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究方面的独立发展;通过让他们参与教师的研究来发展他们在特定内容领域的能力;并以提交的研究提案终止他们的计划。 没有健康和疾病的心理社会因素的理论和研究的博士后学员将参与正式的课程工作和参与正在进行的研究。 培训将强调与项目主任或教师之一进行部分正在进行的研究。 这两个博士前和博士后培训计划恭维在宾夕法尼亚大学的护理研究生课程。

DESCRIPTION: Dr. Ruth McCorkle, University of Pennsylvania, proposes a research training program that will fund predoctoral and postdoctoral student nurse researchers in the field of psychosocial oncology and expand the current training to include HIV/AIDS. This is a competitive renewal for the current pre and postdoctoral training program. The research training program is a component of the Center for Advancing Care in Serious Illness. Psychosocial oncology is defined using 3 conceptual areas of study: 1) characteristics of the people at risk, diagnosed, and treated; 2) characteristics of the social environment of individuals; and 3) characteristics of the treatment environment. The 3 general areas and details of specific components are interrelated and provide opportunity for scientific inquiry. The program objectives are to 1) provide training in psychosocial oncology and HIV/AIDS for predoctoral students, 2) prepare nurses at a postdoctoral level to conduct independent research in the area of psychosocial oncology and HIV/AIDS, 3) accelerate the research training process and entry into a research career, 4) facilitate opportunities for collaboration and mentoring between faculty and trainees, 5) contribute to the evolution of nursing science by preparing a cadre of researchers who are skilled in the process of scientific inquiry, particularly as it relates to problems in the field of psychosocial oncology and HIV/AIDS. The predoctoral program prepares the beginning researcher with knowledge of skills necessary to conceptualize and implement clinical research in psychosocial oncology and HIV/AIDS. The current PhD program includes 8 required core courses that focus on contemporary nursing knowledge, the relationship of theory to research, research methods, statistics, and leadership knowledge and skills. The program also includes 6 related field courses that are taken from other departments or professional schools within the university. The purpose of the postdoctoral program is to facilitate independent development in psychosocial oncology and HIV/AIDS research among trainees; to develop their abilities in specific content area by engaging them in research with the faculty; and to terminate their program with a research proposal submitted for funding. Postdoctoral trainees without prior theory and research in psychosocial factors of health and illness will be involved in formal course work and participation with ongoing studies. Training will emphasize the conduct of portions of ongoing research with one of the program directors or faculty. Both predoctoral and postdoctoral training programs compliment the nursing research graduate program at the University of Pennsylvania.
