Nursing Research Training in Symptom Management

描述（由申请人提供）：症状管理护理研究培训本申请的目的是继续为6名症状管理博士生和4名博士后培训生提供资助。在最后一次竞争更新（5-10年）中，该应用扩展到除了疲劳、呼吸困难、疼痛和失眠之外的症状群，更加强调干预研究。在这一应用中，解决了遗传标记和农村健康问题。这一更新的目标是：1)为受训者提供开展症状经验、生物和遗传标记、干预策略和健康相关结果研究所需的知识和技能；2)指导受训者在各种医疗保健环境中制定和实施针对不同疾病轨迹的不同人群的这些症状的研究计划；3)为受训者提供资助技能，包括撰写、指导和管理资助。4)增加准备开展症状研究的多种族护士学者的数量；5)增加市中心和农村地区准备开展与症状相关的干预研究的护士学者的数量。培训教员包括项目主任、2名联合主任、11名核心教员和5名从事与症状相关的多学科研究的附属教员。博士预科课程包括博士课程要求和三个季度的系列研讨会（经验、管理、成果）；2季度生物标志物系列强烈推荐。博士后培训是根据个人需求量身定制的，重点是复杂的问题和先进的方法。博士后受训者也参加为期3个季度的系列研讨会，但会花额外的时间在与指导研究团队和财务管理相关的资助活动上。住院实习经验是根据个人目标量身定制的，并在整个培训期间从核心教师和附属教师那里获得。培养具有先进的症状管理理论和实践知识的护士学者，并进行严格的定性和定量研究培训，是推动知识发展的必要条件。加州大学旧金山分校护理学院在提供这种培训方面处于独特的地位，因为我们的研究项目和与其他参与症状相关研究的人的合作经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nursing Research Training in Symptom Management The purpose of this application is to continue to provide funding for 6 predoctoral students and 4 postdoctoral trainees in symptom management. This application was expanded in the last competing renewal (yrs 5-10) to include clusters of symptoms in addition to fatigue, dyspnea, pain and insomnia, with more emphasis on intervention research. In this application, genetic markers and rural health issues are addressed. Objectives for this renewal are to: 1) prepare trainees with knowledge and skills necessary to conduct research on symptom experience, biological and genetic markers, intervention strategies, and health-related outcomes, 2) mentor trainees to develop and implement programs of research on these symptoms in diverse populations across the illness trajectory in a variety of health care settings, 3) prepare trainees with grantsmanship skills that include writing, conducting, and administering a funded grant, 4) increase numbers of ethnically diverse nurse scholars prepared to conduct research on symptoms, and 5) increase numbers of nurse scholars, in inner-city and rural areas, prepared to conduct intervention research related to symptoms. Included in the training faculty are the Program Director, 2 Co-Directors, 11 additional Core Faculty, and 5 Affiliated Faculty with multi-disciplinary research related to symptoms. The predoctoral curriculum includes doctoral program requirements and a 3-quarter seminar series (experience, management, outcomes); a 2- quarter Biomarkers series is highly recommended. Postdoctoral training is tailored to individual needs, with focus on complex issues and advanced methodologies. Postdoctoral trainees also attend the 3-quarter seminar series, but spend additional time in grantsmanship activities related to directing a research team and fiscal management. Residency experiences are tailored to individual goals and obtained throughout the training period from core faculty and affiliated faculty. Preparing nurse scholars with advanced knowledge of theory and practice related to symptom management, with rigorous qualitative and quantitative research training, is essential to move knowledge forward. The UCSF School of Nursing is in a unique position to provide this training because of our programs of research and collaborative experiences with others involved in symptom-related research.
