Center for Research on Tailored Biobehavioral Interventions

描述（由申请人提供）：阿肯色大学医学科学（UAMS）护理学院提议建立个性化护理干预研究中心，其使命是汇集一批科学家，促进和加强个性化护理干预科学的发展，并为临床实践提供信息。护理学科重视通过个性化护理干预提供的整体护理，这些干预包括患者的独特特征，如生物状态、情感状态、认知、种族、信仰、需求、目标、偏好和资源。不幸的是，我们几乎没有证据表明个性化护理干预的有效性。对于护士研究人员来说，重要的是开始发展个性化护理科学，并在临床实践中提供证据来证明这种方法的合理性。为了完成中心的使命，行政核心将促进个体化护理干预的研究，试点/可行性研究核心将教育和指导中心调查员进行个体化护理干预的研究。本申请所要求的中心资源将提供基础设施，以维持和加强UAMS护理学院现有的研究项目，并提高开发和测试个性化护理干预措施的科学生产力。该中心将开展探索性研究，为未来的个性化护理干预研究提供信息，设计测量个体独特特征和结果的工具，应用和测试个性化干预的理论和概念模型，并描述开发和测试个性化护理干预的标准化流程。该中心不仅将发现个性化护理干预的科学证据，还将完善我们开发的指导研究的新模型，即开发和测试个性化护理干预的过程模型。拟建的个体化护理干预研究中心将为实现国家护理研究中心的目标作出重大贡献。研究人员将开展和传播高度相关的个性化护理干预的临床研究，这些研究将对改善具有各种普遍健康状况的人的健康和福祉产生重大影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Nursing proposes to establish the Research Center for Individualized Nursing Interventions with the mission of bringing together a cadre of scientists to facilitate and enhance the development of the science of individualized nursing interventions and inform clinical practice. The discipline of nursing values holistic care provided through individualized nursing interventions that incorporate patient's unique characteristics, such as biological state, affective state, cognition, ethnicity, beliefs, needs, goals, preferences, and resources. Unfortunately, we have little evidence about the efficacy of individualized nursing interventions. It is important for nurse researchers to begin developing the science of individualized care and provide evidence to justify this approach in clinical practice. To accomplish the mission of the proposed Center, the Administrative Core will facilitate research on individualized nursing interventions and the Pilot/Feasibility Studies Core will educate and mentor Center investigators to conduct research on individualized nursing interventions. Center resources requested in this application will provide the infrastructure to sustain and strengthen the existing current research program at UAMS College of Nursing and enhance scientific productivity in developing and testing individualized nursing interventions. The proposed Center will conduct exploratory research to inform future individualized nursing intervention studies, design instruments which measure the unique characteristics of individuals and outcomes, apply and test theories and conceptual models for individualizing interventions, and delineate standardized processes for developing and testing individualized nursing interventions. The proposed Center not only will discover the scientific evidence for individualized interventions, it will refine a new model that we developed to guide research, the Process Model for Developing and Testing Individualized Nursing Interventions. The proposed Research Center on Individualized Nursing Interventions will make a significant contribution to achieving the goals of the NINR. Investigators will conduct and disseminate highly relevant clinical research on individualized nursing interventions that will have a significant impact on improving health and well-being for people with a variety of prevalent health conditions across the lifespan.
