Measurement is at the core of the research process. At the PhD level, students need to develop an in-depth understanding of measures relevant to their area of work and refine their knowledge of measurement issues. Traditionally, measurement coursework in Nursing focused on the psychometric evaluation of instruments measuring cognition and behavior. However, in the age of Big Data, precision medicine, and translational science, PhD students need to develop knowledge and skills relevant to these fields and to collaborate with experts from the different disciplines. Therefore, Nursing faculty need to recognize the state-of-the-science of nursing research and tend to a variety of measurement issues across a spectrum of operationalized concepts. Herein we present an overview of learning outcomes, instructional content and methods of delivery for a contemporary PhD-level course on measurement for Nursing Science. We also present our experience in the design, implementation, and evaluation of a novel PhD measurement course.
测量是研究过程的核心。在博士阶段，学生需要深入了解与他们工作领域相关的测量方法，并完善他们对测量问题的认识。传统上，护理专业的测量课程侧重于对测量认知和行为的工具的心理测量评估。然而，在大数据、精准医学和转化科学时代，博士生需要发展与这些领域相关的知识和技能，并与来自不同学科的专家合作。因此，护理教师需要认识到护理研究的科学现状，并关注一系列操作化概念的各种测量问题。本文介绍了一门当代护理学博士水平测量课程的学习成果、教学内容和教学方法概述，还介绍了我们在设计、实施和评估一门新的博士测量课程方面的经验。
