Applying Technology to Problems in Pain and Symptom Management

描述（由申请人提供）：Ardith Doorenbos博士是一名职业中期临床研究人员，专注于跨学科疼痛和症状科学，姑息治疗以及可以增加疼痛管理的新技术在医疗保健中的应用。这个K24奖将为她提供受保护的时间，以（1）进一步她自己的以病人为导向的路线 研究和（2）促进发展和保留护士科学家在独立的职业生涯在病人为导向的研究有关的疼痛，症状科学，和姑息治疗。Doorenbos博士将通过将她在疼痛和症状评估和管理中使用创新技术的研究扩展到军事环境，结合综合疗法，并使用患者报告的结局测量信息系统/疼痛评估筛选工具和结局登记（PROMIS/PASTOR）来加强重要的研究技能。这项持续的研究计划建立在她正在进行的R 01，农村社区的姑息治疗症状管理。在获奖期间，Doorenbos博士还将扩大她在领导和指导方面的技能，同时建立以患者为导向的研究人员的遗产。她将继续对四名博士前学生进行指导，并将指导范围扩大到护理博士后研究员和初级教师。她的指导计划建立在她过去在华盛顿大学的跨专业研究的成功基础上，该大学为护理领域的协作培训和以患者为导向的研究提供了出色的环境。Doorenbos博士的长期目标是（1）进行以患者为导向的研究，（2）促进初级研究人员在以患者为导向的研究中的职业生涯，充分开发和评估创新的，具有成本效益的干预措施，减少慢性和姑息性疼痛，并可广泛用于改善生活质量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dr. Ardith Doorenbos is a midcareer clinician researcher who focuses on interdisciplinary pain and symptom science, palliative care, and the application to healthcare of new technologies that can increase access to pain management. This K24 award will provide her with protected time to (1) further her own line of patient-oriented research and (2) promote the development and retention of nurse scientists in independent careers in patient- oriented research related to pain, symptom science, and palliative care. Over the 5-year award period, Dr. Doorenbos will strengthen important research skills by expanding her research on use of innovative technology in pain and symptom assessment and management to the military setting, incorporating integrative therapies, and using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System/Pain Assessment Screening Tool and Outcomes Registry (PROMIS/PASTOR). This continuing program of research builds on her ongoing R01, Palliative Care Symptom Management in Rural Communities. Over the award period, Dr. Doorenbos will also expand her skills in leadership and mentorship while building a legacy of patient-oriented researchers. She will continue ongoing mentorship of four predoctoral students, as well as expand mentorship to nursing postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty. Her mentoring plan builds on her past success in inter professional research at the University of Washington, which provides an outstanding setting for collaborative training and patient-oriented research in nursing. Dr. Doorenbos' long-term goals are (1) to conduct patient-oriented research and (2) to promote junior researchers' careers in patient-oriented research that fully develops and evaluates innovative, cost-effective interventions that decrease chronic and palliative pain and can be widely used to improve quality of life.
