This article focuses on the role of advanced practice nurses as leaders on a health care team committed to providing a collaborative approach to a unique patient population. It describes the process of implementing a clinical trial for treatment of patients with neuroblastoma with the radioisotope 131I-MIBG. As new clinical trials emerge, staff nurses face challenges in providing care to complex patients and their families. Nurses are often required to acquire new knowledge, interact with other disciplines and departments, and develop new skills in order to provide care for these patients. Advanced practice nurses can provide a critical link between the principal investigator and staff members to meet these challenges. The process used to implement this trial can serve as a model for many other interdisciplinary projects.
本文重点关注高级执业护士在致力于为特定患者群体提供协作式护理的医疗团队中担任领导者的角色。它描述了用放射性同位素131I-MIBG对神经母细胞瘤患者进行治疗的临床试验的实施过程。随着新的临床试验不断涌现，注册护士在为病情复杂的患者及其家属提供护理时面临挑战。护士通常需要获取新知识，与其他学科和部门互动，并培养新技能，以便为这些患者提供护理。高级执业护士可以在主要研究者和工作人员之间提供关键联系，以应对这些挑战。实施该试验所采用的过程可为许多其他跨学科项目提供一个范例。
