Recruitment and retention of persons participating in research is one of the most significant challenges faced by investigators. Although incentives are often used to improve recruitment and retention, evidence suggests that the relationship of the patient to study personnel may be the single, most important factor in subject accrual and continued participation. Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations provides a framework to study the nurse-patient relationship during the research process. In this paper the authors provide a brief summary of research strategies that have been used for the recruitment and retention of subjects and an overview of Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations including its use in research studies. In addition, a discussion of how this theory was used for the successful recruitment and retention of women with type 2 diabetes who participated in a clinical trial using a nurse-delivered psychoeducational intervention for depression is addressed.
招募和留住参与研究的人员是研究人员面临的最重大挑战之一。尽管通常会采用激励措施来提高招募率和留存率，但有证据表明，患者与研究人员之间的关系可能是受试者入组和持续参与的唯一最重要因素。佩普劳的人际关系理论为研究研究过程中的护患关系提供了一个框架。在本文中，作者简要总结了用于招募和留住受试者的研究策略，并概述了佩普劳的人际关系理论，包括其在研究中的应用。此外，还讨论了该理论如何用于成功招募和留住患有2型糖尿病且参与了一项使用护士提供的抑郁症心理教育干预的临床试验的女性。
