Nursing Research Training in Symptom Management

描述（申请人提供）：症状管理护理研究培训。本申请的目的是继续资助6名症状管理方面的博士生和4名博士后。该提案在最后一次竞争性更新（5-10年）中得到扩展，包括一个额外的博士后培训生，并包括症状集群和症状经历的遗传标记，以及原始申请（1-5年）的原始疲劳、呼吸困难、疼痛和失眠症状。这一更新（15-20年）的目标是扩大与症状管理成果有关的培训，特别是在症状及其管理的经济成本领域。目标是：1)为受训者提供进行症状体验和健康相关结果（包括经济成本）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不同疾病轨迹人群中这些症状的研究计划，3)为受训者提供包括写作，指导和管理资助的技能。4)增加准备进行症状研究的多种族护士学者的数量，5)增加准备进行与症状相关的跨学科干预研究的护士学者的数量。培训教师包括项目主任和3名担任顾问委员会的联合主任，一名卫生保健经济学家，8名额外的核心教师和5名新的指导教师学者。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）；强烈建议进行2 / 4生物标志物系列检查。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。住院医师经验是根据个人目标量身定制的，并在整个培训期间获得。培养具有与症状管理相关的先进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，对于跨学科研究团队在临床和转化科学中推进知识至关重要。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以及与其他学科参与症状相关研究的合作经验。

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 proposal was expanded in the last competing renewal (years 5-10) to include an additional postdoctoral trainee, and to include clusters of symptoms, and genetic markers of the symptom experience in addition to the original fatigue, dyspnea, pain and insomnia symptoms from the original application (years 1-5). Objectives for this renewal (years 15-20) are to expand the training related to outcomes of symptom management, particularly in the area of economic cost of symptoms and their management. The objectives are to: 1) prepare trainees with knowledge and skills necessary to conduct research on symptom experience and health-related outcomes (including economic costs), 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 prepared to conduct interdisciplinary intervention research related to symptoms. Included in the training faculty are the Program Director and 3 Co-Directors who serve as the Advisory Board, a Health Care Economist, 8 additional Core Faculty, and five new mentored faculty scholars. 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 grant activities related to directing a research team and fiscal management. Residency experiences are tailored to individual goals and obtained throughout the training period. 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 in clinical and translational science with interdisciplinary research teams. The UCSF School of Nursing is in a unique position to provide this training because of our programs of research and collaborative experiences with other disciplines involved in symptom-related research.
