Increasingly, scientific funding agencies are requiring that researchers move toward an integrated, transdisciplinary team science paradigm. Although the barriers to and rewards of conducting this type of research have been discussed in the literature, examples of how nurse investigators have led these teams to reconcile the differences in theoretical, methodological, and/or analytic perspectives that inevitably exist are lacking. In this article, we describe these developmental trajectory challenges through a case study of one transdisciplinary team, focusing on team member characteristics and the leadership tasks associated with successful transdisciplinary science teams in the literature. Specifically, we describe how overcoming these challenges has been essential to examining the complex and potentially cumulative effects that key intersections between legal, social welfare, and labor market systems may have on the health of disadvantaged women. Finally, we discuss this difficult but rewarding work within the context of lessons learned and transdisciplinary team research in relation to the future of nursing science.
越来越多的科研资助机构要求研究人员转向综合的、跨学科的团队科学范式。尽管文献中已经讨论了开展这类研究的障碍和回报，但缺乏护士研究人员如何带领这些团队协调不可避免地存在的理论、方法和/或分析视角差异的实例。在本文中，我们通过一个跨学科团队的案例研究来描述这些发展轨迹挑战，重点关注团队成员特征以及文献中与成功的跨学科科学团队相关的领导任务。具体而言，我们描述了克服这些挑战对于研究法律、社会福利和劳动力市场系统之间的关键交叉点可能对弱势女性健康产生的复杂且可能累积的影响是如何至关重要的。最后，我们在吸取的经验教训以及与护理科学未来相关的跨学科团队研究的背景下讨论这项艰巨但有意义的工作。
