Pain and Associated Symptoms: Nurse Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：本修订后的机构NRSA （T32）申请旨在提供前期和博士后研究培训，培养一批从事疼痛护理研究的护理学者骨干。对疼痛和影响疼痛评估和治疗的相关症状和因素的研究是护理科学的一个至关重要的重点，并影响个人一生的生活质量和临终关怀。该计划将为学生提供发展或扩展疼痛护理研究知识和技能的机会，重点是：a)用于识别潜在机制和个体对疼痛和相关症状和因素的反应及其影响的描述和预测模型；B)针对个人、家庭和照顾者的疼痛干预研究，以及c)将疼痛管理相关知识转化为实践。本课程的具体目标是：1。准备在博士和博士后水平的护士进行疼痛主题的研究a.在博士护理计划中提供疼痛研究的重点b.为博士后护理人员提供严格的2年跨学科培训，包括疼痛研究的理论，方法和应用2。为教师与实习生之间的研究合作和指导，以及跨学科的教师研究合作创造机会。在研究的规划、实施、传播和实施方面提供指导经验。培养初级护理教师的指导能力具体目标将通过课程学习、深入参与正在进行的教师研究、实习生的研究指导、沉浸在转化研究经验、参与研究研讨会和国家会议、以及与教师一起获得资助、出版、演讲和临床研究传播经验来实现。专注于疼痛研究的培训，解决了NIH和NINR作为关键医疗保健领域认可的主题。

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.
