TRAINING IN BIOBEHAVIORAL NURSING RESEARCH

拟议的培训赠款的目的是培训四名博士后研究员和三名博士后研究员，在健康/疾病的神经行为和心肺组成部分的实质性领域进行生物行为护理研究。将使用生物行为护理研究的生态模型来指导科学。培训计划将准备护士研究，以研究神经行为和心肺健康，研究与不良健康相关的神经行为和心肺因素，确定神经行为和心肺健康改变的潜在机制，研究改善神经行为和心肺健康的干预措施的效果。研究员将接受生物行为护士研究人员的独特视角的培训，以检查跨越生物、经验和行为维度的现象。博士前研究员将学习现有博士课程的核心课程，其中包括强大的行为科学元素。此外，他们还将被要求学习研究生水平的生理学和医学生物化学，他们将学习生物、行为和护理科学的选修课。博士后工作将由一个跨学科的研究团队指导，该团队的构建是为了满足每个研究员的研究需求。所有学员将与导师的研究专长密切配合，并将在实验室学习研究技术，并参加每周一次的部门研究研讨会和座谈会。所有受训人员将在生物行为功能的不同层面，从细胞到完整的人类，开发和实施神经行为和心肺健康/疾病的研究项目。该培训计划将培养成熟的生物行为护士研究人员，以解决神经行为和心肺健康/疾病方面的复杂健康问题。

The purpose of the proposed training grant is to train four predoctoral and three postdoctoral fellows in biobehavioral nursing research in the substantive areas of neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary components of health/illness. An ecological model of biobehavioral nursing research will be used to guide the science. The training program will prepare nurse research to study neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary health to study neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary factors associated with adverse health; to identify mechanisms underlying neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary alterations in health; to study effects of interventions to improve neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary health. Fellows will be trained from the unique perspective of a biobehavioral nurse researcher examining phenomena that cut across the biological, experiential and behavioral dimensions. Predoctoral fellows will take the core courses in the existing doctoral program which includes a strong element of behavioral science. In addition they will be required to take graduate level physiology and medical biochemistry, and they will take electives in the biologic, behavioral and nursing sciences. Postdoctoral work will be guided by an interdisciplinary team of researchers, constructed to meet the research needs of each fellow. All trainees will be closely matched with the research expertise of their mentors and will learn research techniques in the laboratories and participate in weekly departmental research seminars and colloquia. All trainees will develop and implement research projects of neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary health/illness at various levels of biobehavioral functioning, from the cell to the integrated human. This training program will prepare sophisticated biobehavioral nurse researchers to address complex health problems in neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary health/illness.
