Pain and Associated Symptoms: Nurse Research Training

描述(由申请人提供)：这一修订后的NRSA机构申请(T32)建议提供博士后和博士后研究培训，以准备一支护士学者干部进行疼痛护理研究。对疼痛以及影响疼痛评估和治疗的相关症状和因素的研究涉及到护理学的一个极其重要的重点，并影响个人一生的生活质量和生命末期护理。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)描述性和预测性模型，用于确定潜在机制和个人对疼痛及其相关症状和因素的反应及其影响；b)针对个人、家庭和照顾者的疼痛干预研究；以及c)将与疼痛管理相关的知识转化为实践。这一计划的具体目标是：1.培养博士后和博士后水平的护士进行疼痛研究a.在博士护理计划中强调疼痛研究b.为博士后护理研究员提供为期2年的疼痛研究理论、方法和应用方面的严格的跨学科培训2.为教员与实习生的研究协作和指导以及跨学科的教员研究协作创造机会3.在研究的规划、实施、传播和实施方面提供指导经验4.培养初级护理教师的指导能力具体目标将通过课程工作、深入参与正在进行的教师研究、由受训者进行研究，沉浸于翻译研究经验，参加研究研讨会和国家会议，以及与教员一起进行授课、出版、演讲和临床研究传播经验。疼痛研究培训的重点是解决被NIH和NINR确认为关键医疗保健领域的主题。 相关性：NIH和NINR在计划优先事项和NINR路线图整合中明确提出，需要培养具有知识和技能的研究科学家，以应对国家面临的痛苦挑战。疼痛一直是并将继续是一个贯穿一生的重要问题，预防和缓解痛苦并解决患有急性和持续性疼痛的患者的生活质量问题是我们社会的当务之急。

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.
