Pain and Associated Symptoms: Nurse Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：这一修订后的机构NRSA（T32）申请建议提供博士前和博士后研究培训，以准备护士学者干部进行疼痛护理研究。对疼痛和相关症状以及影响疼痛评估和治疗的因素的研究解决了护理科学的一个至关重要的重点，并影响了生命质量和生命终末护理。该计划将为学生提供发展或扩展疼痛护理研究的知识和技能的机会，重点是：a）用于确定潜在机制和个人对疼痛及相关症状和因素的反应及其影响的描述性和预测性模型; B）干预研究侧重于个人，家庭和护理人员的疼痛，以及c）与疼痛管理相关的知识翻译实践。 该计划的具体目标是：1。准备在前和博士后水平的护士进行疼痛主题的研究。在护理博士课程中强调疼痛研究B。提供严谨的2年跨学科培训的理论，方法和疼痛研究的应用为博士后护理研究员2。为教师实习生的研究合作和指导，以及跨学科的教师研究合作创造机会3。在规划、开展、传播和实施研究方面提供指导经验4.培养初级护理教师的指导能力具体目标将通过课程作业，密集参与正在进行的教师研究，由受训者进行研究，沉浸在转化研究经验中，参加研究研讨会和国家会议，以及与教师一起进行研究，出版，演示和临床研究传播经验来实现。疼痛研究培训的重点是解决NIH和NINR公认的关键医疗保健领域的主题。 相关性：NIH和NINR在计划优先事项和NINR路线图整合中明确规定，需要准备具有知识和技能的研究科学家来应对国家疼痛的挑战。疼痛一直是并将继续是贯穿整个生命周期的重要问题，预防和缓解疼痛并解决急性和持续性疼痛患者的生活质量问题是我们社会的当务之急。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised application for an Institutional NRSA (T32) proposes to provide pre and post-doctoral research training to prepare a cadre of nurse scholars to conduct pain nursing research. Research on pain and the associated symptoms and factors that impact the assessment and treatment of pain addresses a critically important emphasis of nursing science and impacts the quality of life and end of life care for individuals across the lifespan. The program will provide opportunities for students to develop or extend knowledge and skills in pain nursing research with an emphasis on: a) descriptive and predictive models for identifying underlying mechanisms and individual responses to pain and associated symptoms and factors and their impact; b) intervention research focused on pain for individuals, family and caregivers, and c) translation of knowledge related to management of pain to practice. The specific objectives of this program are to: 1. Prepare nurses at the pre and post-doctoral levels to conduct research on pain topics a. Provide an emphasis in pain research in the PhD nursing program b. Provide rigorous 2-year interdisciplinary training in the theories, methods, and applications of pain research for post-doctoral nursing fellows 2. Generate opportunities for faculty-trainee research collaboration and mentorship, and interdisciplinary faculty research collaboration 3. Provide mentored experiences in the planning, conduct, dissemination and implementation of research 4. Foster the mentoring capabilities of junior nursing faculty The specific objectives will be achieved through coursework, intensive participation in ongoing faculty research, conduction of research by the trainee, immersion in translational research experiences, participation in research seminars and national conferences, as well as grantsmanship, publication, presentation and clinical research dissemination experiences with faculty. The focus on training in pain research addresses topics recognized by NIH and NINR as critical healthcare areas. RELEVANCE: The need to prepare research scientists with knowledge and skills to address the challenges of pain for the nation has been clearly established by NIH and NINR in the program priorities and NINR Roadmap Integration. Pain has been and continues to be an important problem across the lifespan and preventing and relieving suffering and addressing the quality-of-life concerns for patients living with acute and persistent pain are an imperative for our society.
