创新方法与技术核心 项目摘要/摘要 IMTC的目的是支持跨学科合作中心的工作 自我管理科学研究(TCRSS)促进跨学科合作 护理和其他学科的研究人员开发支持自我保护的新方法 慢性病患者的管理。随着一年中最新一所医学院的成立 非健康科学大学，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校正在发起支持 跨学科专业教育和跨学科协作。的交集 不同学科的健康相关利益突显了应对慢性病的不同方法。 将健康行为研究与实验室研究措施(生物标志物)、临床措施联系起来 (例如，来自生理实验室、门诊)以及计算机和信息科学(例如，数据 监测、症状管理)可以为评估效果提供更全面的数据 干预的结果。IMTC的具体目标是： 1.使研究人员能够提高慢性病自我管理的科学水平 通过应用先进的新技术和方法，包括硬件， 软件，以及生物学和分析方法。 2.促进以创新方式收集、汇总和分析自我评估目标领域的数据 慢性病管理(例如，支持健康[睡眠、营养质量]和 症状管理[自我监测])。 3.促进跨学科调查员、潜在的试点调查员、 中心教职员工和执行委员会关于使用创新方法和 作为解决个人自我管理需要的研究方法的技术 患有慢性病。 4.提高早期护士科学家调查人员和 开发新的研究重点或技能以应用创新技术和研究 方法建立慢性病自我管理学。

INNOVATIVE METHODS & TECHNOLOGY CORE PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The purpose of the IMTC is to support the work of the Center for Transdisciplinary Collaborative Research in Self-management Science (TCRSS) to facilitate transdisciplinary collaboration among investigators in nursing and other disciplines to develop novel approaches for supporting self- management of persons with chronic diseases. With the launch of the newest medical school in a non-health science university, The University of Texas at Austin is launching initiatives to support interdisciplinary professional education and transdisciplinary collaborations. The intersection of health-related interests across disciplines is highlighting different approaches to chronic illnesses. Linking health behavioral research with laboratory research measures (biomarkers), clinical measures (e.g., from physiology labs, out-patient clinics), and computer and information science (e.g., data monitoring, symptom management) can provide more comprehensive data for evaluating the effects of interventions. The specific aims of the IMTC are: 1. To enable investigators to advance the science of self-management in chronic diseases through the application of advanced new technologies and methods, including hardware, software, and biological and analytical approaches. 2. To facilitate innovative collection, aggregation, and analysis of data in target areas of self- management in chronic diseases (e.g., supporting health [sleep, nutrition quality] and symptom management [self-monitoring]). 3. To stimulate dialogue among transdisciplinary investigators, potential pilot investigators, Center faculty, and the Executive Committee about the use of innovative methods and technologies as research approaches for addressing self-management needs of persons with chronic diseases. 4. To enhance the capabilities of early nurse scientist investigators and those who are developing new research foci or skills to apply innovative technologies and research methods to build the science of self-management in chronic diseases.
