Technology Research in Chronic and Critical Illness

描述（由申请人提供）：使用技术来提供医疗保健和管理慢性和危重疾病正变得越来越普遍。技术越来越多地被吹捧为改变医疗保健。技术进步的速度，再加上生活在社区中的老年人和患有复杂疾病和残疾的人的数量不断增加，使得护理科学家必须准备好研究技术在跨学科背景下促进更好的患者健康结果方面的重要作用。该T32（技术：慢性和危重疾病研究）的总体目标是提供严格的研究培训和跨学科的专业社会化，以建立旨在促进健康，管理疾病，减少残疾和通过技术的援助提高生活质量的护理科学。培训方案的具体目标是：1）的理论和概念基础，以支持研究的方法，技术应用可能使预防，检测或解决健康问题的研究计划的发展，2）的方法技能，以支持学术研究事业的发展，3）促进环境，支持和维持跨学科背景下的学术研究，以及4）机会，以确定，开发，评估和翻译新的技术应用到现实世界的护理 练习设置。我们要求在5年内继续提供机构支持，以便在资助期间为培养博士前和博士后研究员提供最多两年的支持。显然，护士研究人员需要能够检查的有效性，以及适当性，可接受性，并坚持患者和供应商的高科技健康解决方案，并与多个学科，有助于这种努力的合作。毫无疑问，该计划将使护士学员能够在这个不断发展的领域进行创新，最先进的研究。 公共卫生相关性：使用技术提供医疗保健和管理慢性病和危重病正变得越来越普遍。该T32（技术：慢性和危重疾病研究）的总体目标是提供严格的研究培训和跨学科的专业社会化，以建立旨在促进健康，管理疾病，减少残疾和通过技术的援助提高生活质量的护理科学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The use of technology to deliver health care and manage chronic and critical illness is becoming more and more pervasive. Technology is increasingly touted as transforming health care. The speed at which technologies is advancing, combined with the burgeoning number of elders and persons living in the community with complex illnesses and disabilities, make it imperative that nurse scientists be prepared to examine the vital role of technology in promoting better patient health outcomes within an interdisciplinary context. The overarching goal of this T32 (Technology: Research in Chronic and Critical Illness) is to provide rigorous research training and interdisciplinary professional socialization to build nursing science aimed at promoting health, managing illness, reducing disability and enhancing quality of life through the aid of technology. The specific aims of the training program are to provide: 1) the theoretical and conceptual foundation to support the development of a program of research that examines ways that technological applications may enable the prevention, detection or resolution of health problems, 2) the methodological skills to support of the development of an academic research career, 3) an environment that promotes, supports and sustains scholarly inquiry within an interdisciplinary context, and 4) opportunities to identify, develop, evaluate and translate novel technological applications to real-world nursing practice settings. We are requesting continued institutional support for 5 years to provide support for training pre-doctoral and postdoctoral fellows for a maximum of two years over the funded period. Clearly, nurse researchers need to be able to examine the effectiveness, as well as the appropriateness, acceptability, and adherence of patients and providers to high-tech health solutions and collaborate with the multiple disciplines that contribute to such efforts. Unquestionably, this program will enable nurse trainees to be well-positioned to conduct innovative, state-of-the-art research in this growing field. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The use of technology to deliver health care and manage chronic and critical illness is becoming increasingly pervasive. The overarching goal of this T32 (Technology: Research in Chronic and Critical Illness) is to provide rigorous research training and interdisciplinary professional socialization to build nursing science aimed at promoting health, managing illness, reducing disability and enhancing quality of life through the aid of technology.
