Recommendations by the National Institute of Nursing Research and other groups have strongly encouraged nurses to pay greater attention to cost-effectiveness analysis when conducting research. Given the increasing prominence of translational science and comparative effective research, cost-effective analysis has become a basic tool in determining intervention value in research. Tracking phone-call communication (number of calls and context) with cross-checks between parents and healthcare providers is an example of this type of healthcare utilization data collection. This article identifies some methodological challenges that have emerged in the process of collecting this type of data in a randomized controlled trial: Parent education Through Simulation-Diabetes (PETS-D). We also describe ways in which those challenges have been addressed with comparison data results, and make recommendations for future research.
美国国立护理研究所以及其他组织的建议大力鼓励护士在开展研究时更加关注成本效益分析。鉴于转化科学和比较效果研究日益突出，成本效益分析已成为确定研究中干预价值的一项基本工具。追踪家长与医疗服务提供者之间的电话沟通（通话次数和背景）并进行交叉核对，就是这类医疗保健利用数据收集的一个例子。本文指出了在一项随机对照试验——“通过模拟进行糖尿病家长教育”（PETS-D）中收集这类数据的过程中出现的一些方法学挑战。我们还描述了如何通过比较数据结果来应对这些挑战，并为未来的研究提出建议。
