Multiple challenges must be addressed when educational research is being conducted that involves a teaching innovation at multiple sites over time, including the consistent adoption and use of the intervention, attrition, response rates, and other aspects related to managing a complex study. After an 18-month nursing education study was conducted at multiple institutions across the United States, the authors' study team reflected on strategies that worked well, the challenges faced, and what could have been done differently. This article details the challenges and offers recommendations for other researchers conducting similar studies. Recommendations related to communication and engagement, innovation fidelity, survey fatigue, multiple institutional review board applications, and flexibility are provided.
当涉及到在多个地点进行教学创新的教育研究时，必须解决多个挑战，包括干预措施的持续采用和使用、流失率、响应率以及与管理复杂研究相关的其他方面。在美国多个机构进行了为期 18 个月的护理教育研究后，作者的研究团队反思了效果良好的策略、面临的挑战以及可以改进的地方。本文详细介绍了挑战，并为其他进行类似研究的研究人员提供了建议。提供了与沟通和参与、创新保真度、调查疲劳、多个机构审查委员会申请和灵活性相关的建议。
