RESEARCH SUMMIT FOR PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY NURSING

儿科肿瘤学护理研究最新科学峰会最近在北美发起了儿科肿瘤学临床试验小组的融合，为儿科肿瘤学护士提供了一个检查他们目前的研究活动并计划他们未来对不断发展的合作小组的研究贡献的机会。护理学科的目的是以学术的方式为新的合作小组的科学议程做出积极的贡献。从历史上看，护理学科通过教育患者、家属和护士有关治疗方案和临床试验的知识，为成功实施集体临床试验做出了重大贡献。在继续这一基本职能的同时，护理学科正准备通过阐明对癌症儿童和青少年的护理具有高度优先地位的研究问题，为新的合作小组的实际科学议程做出更直接的贡献。这次研究峰会将于2000年2月24-25日在美国国立卫生研究院的纳彻会议中心召开，其总体目标是促进合作小组的护理科学议程的阐明。四个肿瘤学护理研究项目(儿童ALL治疗的认知和学术后果，癌症患者的自我护理实践，癌症儿童的疲劳，以及青少年癌症患者的应对策略)将由护士研究人员提出，然后由护士和非护士评审员进行批评。由护士研究员、护士和非护士评审员以及每个特色研究项目的四名高级执业护士组成的工作组随后将制定该项目的一个方面，以纳入临床试验框架。此外，将通过公告机制确定未来有可能对新的合作小组作出贡献的研究。峰会的具体目标是：1)促进对四个现有的肿瘤学护理研究计划的批评，因为它们对合作小组有潜在的用处；2)开发科学问题或假设，以纳入未来的临床试验，代表护理和新的合作小组的科学优先事项；3)确定儿科肿瘤护理方面新出现的护理研究想法和研究人员；以及4)通过分担护理对合作小组科学议程的贡献的责任，加强护士研究人员和高级执业护士之间的工作关系。

State-of-the-Science Summit for Pediatric Oncology Nursing Research The recently initiated fusion of the pediatric oncology clinical trial groups in North America provides an opportunity for pediatric oncology nurses to examine their current research activities and to plan for their future research contributions to the evolving cooperative group. The intent of the Nursing discipline is to contribute energetically and in a scholarly fashion to the scientific agenda of the new cooperative group. Historically, the Nursing discipline has contributed significantly to the successful implementation of group clinical trials by educating patients, families, and nurses about treatment protocols and clinical trials. While continuing that essential function, the Nursing discipline is preparing to contribute more directly to the actual scientific agenda of the new cooperative group by articulating research questions of high priority to the nursing care of children and adolescents with cancer. The overall goal for this research summit, to be convened February 24-25, 2000 at the Natcher Conference Center at NIH, is to facilitate the articulation of the Nursing Scientific Agenda for the cooperative group. Four programs of nursing research in oncology (cognitive and academic consequences of treatment for childhood ALL, self-care practices of cancer patients, fatigue in children with cancer, and coping strategies in adolescents with cancer) will be presented by nurse researchers and then critiqued by nurse and non-nurse reviewers. Working groups comprised of the nurse researcher, the nurse and non-nurse reviewers and four advanced practice nurses for each of the featured research programs will then develop an aspect of the program for inclusion in a clinical trial framework. In addition, research with the potential for future contribution to the new cooperative group will be identified through a poster mechanism. The specific objectives of the summit are to 1) facilitate critique of four existing nursing research programs in oncology for their potential usefulness to the cooperative group, 2) develop scientific questions or hypotheses for incorporation into future clinical trials that represent scientific priorities of Nursing and the new cooperative group, 3) identify emerging nursing research ideas and researchers in pediatric oncology nursing, and to 4) strengthen the working relationship between nurse researchers and advanced practice nurses through shared responsibility for Nursing's contribution to the cooperative group's scientific agenda.
