背景有限的指南，以帮助护士研究人员使用基于网络的干预措施。护士必须开发支持技术，使参与者能够完成研究活动和收集数据，同时保持数据安全性和参与者保密性。目的本研究的目的是描述作者如何使用先进的研究电子数据采集（REDCap）功能，以支持交互式，基于Web的治疗干预的数据管理基础设施。方法WISER（写作改善自我关系）干预试点研究的数据管理基础设施包括两个组成部分：一个网站的干预和参与者帐户管理和一个REDCap项目的数据采集和存储。REDCap应用程序编程接口使用HTML链接和数据交换将这两个组件连接起来。结果我们完成了WISER的初步试点研究，有14名参与者使用基于REDCap的基础设施。遇到了最小的技术困难。REDCap具有成本效益，随时可用，并且通过其先进的功能，能够促进与参与者的保密，安全的互动，强大的数据管理，以及基于网络的干预研究中的无缝参与者进展。
Background Limited guidelines to assist nurse researchers who use web-based interventions are available. Nurses must develop the supporting technology enabling participants to complete study activities and collected data while maintaining data security and participant confidentiality. Objectives The aim of the study was to describe how the authors used advanced Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) functionality to support the data management infrastructure of an interactive, web-based therapeutic intervention. Methods The data management infrastructure for the WISER (Writing to Improve Self-in-Relationships) intervention pilot study consisted of two components: a website for presentation of the intervention and participant account management and a REDCap project for data capture and storage. The REDCap application programming interface connected these two components using HTML links and data exchanges. Results We completed an initial pilot study of WISER with 14 participants using the REDCap-based infrastructure. Minimal technical difficulties were encountered. Discussion REDCap is cost-effective, is readily available, and, through its advanced functionality, is able to facilitate confidential, secure interactions with participants, robust data management, and seamless participant progression in web-based intervention research.
