The purpose of this article is to share a "research journey" to study the somewhat controversial subject of Christian intercessory prayer (CIP) utilized as a clinical intervention, and the knowledge gained along the way. This article will explore the steps in the development and implementation of clinical research to scientifically examine a phenomenon that many say cannot--and should not--be studied. The sequential steps in developing this area of study are detailed and explained from the conception of the initial idea through utilization of concept analysis and literature review to develop the researchable topic. The subsequent development of both qualitative and quantitative pilot studies to investigate CIP in depth is presented to illustrate how the intervention of CIP can successfully be incorporated into clinical research. This article provides guidelines for future researchers who may want to utilize CIP as an intervention.
本文旨在分享一段“研究历程”，该研究围绕将颇具争议的基督教代祷（CIP）作为一种临床干预手段展开，并阐述在此过程中所获得的知识。本文将探讨临床研究的开发与实施步骤，以科学地检验一种许多人认为无法且不应进行研究的现象。从最初想法的构思，到运用概念分析和文献综述来确定可研究的主题，详细阐述并解释了该研究领域发展的各个步骤。随后介绍了定性和定量预试验研究的后续开展情况，以深入调查CIP，从而说明CIP干预如何能够成功纳入临床研究。本文为未来可能希望将CIP用作干预手段的研究人员提供了指导方针。
