Technology Enhanced Self-Management Interventions for Fatigue and Pain: The Symptoms Self Management Center (Pilot Project Core)

项目摘要/摘要--试点项目核心 试点项目核心(PPC)的主要目的是提供初级和/或经验丰富的护士科学家， 对症状自我管理领域的新手，有资金建立他们的跨学科计划 疲劳和疼痛自我管理干预研究。总体目标是建立症状自我 管理中心(SSMC)，一个针对疲劳和疼痛症状的主题科学领域，通过 互补、协同的研究活动。除了支持初级研究人员外，PPC还将 支持希望扩展当前研究重点以测试与以下方面相关的新想法的知名研究人员 症状自我管理科学。PPC的具体目标是： 目标1.指导潜在的试点研究人员制定研究建议，包括以患者为中心的优先考虑， 技术增强的自我或家庭管理干预措施，理论上是健全的 跨学科的方法，以改善与慢性病有关的疼痛和疲劳症状。 目标2.对提交的试点资金提案建立严格的审查和批准程序。建议书 审查将由执行委员会(EC)(见管理核心)进行，执行委员会由CON和 为试点项目保留的南加州大学跨学科研究人员和外部特别委员会成员 复习一下。 目标3.监督和支持试点调查员获得监管批准的努力，包括机构批准 在授予试点资金之前，审查董事会对人类受试者研究的批准。 目标4.监测SSMC试点调查员在实现试点研究中确定的具体目标方面的进展情况 就像利用试点研究的结果来建立未来的研究和获得重大资金一样。 影响：症状自我管理中心(SSMC)将提供基础设施以：扩大数量和 旨在改善老年人疲劳和疼痛症状自我管理的研究项目的质量 所有年龄段的慢性病患者；增强家庭/照顾者的自我管理技能，以发挥其作用- 损害其家庭成员的症状(疼痛和疲劳)；以及，扩大其数量和质量 旨在改善慢性病患者健康和生活质量的研究项目。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – PILOT PROJECT CORE The primary purpose of the Pilot Project Core (PPC) is to provide junior and/or experienced nurse scientists, new to the area of symptom self management, with funds to establish their programs of interdisciplinary research in fatigue and pain self management interventions. The overall goal is to build the Symptoms Self Management Center (SSMC), a thematic science area targeting symptoms of fatigue and pain through complementary, synergistic research activities. In addition to supporting junior researchers, the PPC will also support established researchers who wish to expand their current research focus to test new ideas related to symptom self-management science. The specific aims of the PPC are to: AIM 1. Mentor potential pilot investigators to develop research proposals that include priority patient centered, technology enhanced self or family management interventions, that are theoretically sound and interdisciplinary in approach to improve symptoms of pain and fatigue related to chronic diseases. Aim 2. Establish a rigorous review and approval process of proposals submitted for pilot funding. Proposal review will be conducted by the the Executive Committee (EC) (see ADMIN Core) composed of CON and MUSC interdisciplinary researchers and external ad hoc EC members retained for the purpose of pilot project review. AIM 3. Oversee and support pilot investigators' efforts to obtain regulatory approvals, including institutional review board approval of human subjects' research prior to awarding of pilot funds. AIM 4. Monitor progress of SSMC pilot investigators in meeting specific aims identified in pilot studies as well as in using pilot study findings to build future research studies and acquire major funding. Impact: The Symptom Self Management Center (SSMC) will provide infrastructure to: expand the number and quality of research projects aimed at improving self-management of fatigue and pain symptoms in persons of all ages with chronic disorders; enhance the self-management skills of families/caregivers for function- impairing symptoms (pain and fatigue) of their family members; and, expand the number and quality of research projects aimed at improving health and quality of life in chronically ill persons.
