The role of Clinical Research Nurses across the globe has not been evaluated to identify similarities or differences among specific activities.
This study's aims were to determine differences in Clinical Research Nurses most frequently performed activities, if these activities are reflective of those previously described in the literature, and job titles Clinical Research Nurses use to self-identify.
An online cross-sectional survey distributed via snowball sampling through email, social media, and research nurses' networks included questions on frequency of activities performed and information related to job titles. Pearson's chi-square test is analyzed for associations between the groups.
Respondents returned 252 questionnaires, 233 were eligible for analysis. Research nurse activities performed internationally showed both similarities and differences. Any between country comparisons will be limited to the United States and the United Kingdom. The three most common tasks reported were recruitment 120 (51.5%), monitoring the research participant for potential adverse events 187 (80.2%) and providing nursing leadership within the interdisciplinary team 169 (72.5%).
Considering the context and range of activities of the original Clinical Research Nursing Domain of Practice, broadening the framework to include the leadership domain will better serve as a foundation for the specialty practice.
尚未对全球临床研究护士的角色进行评估,以确定特定活动之间的异同。
本研究的目的是确定临床研究护士最常开展的活动之间的差异,这些活动是否反映了文献中先前描述的活动,以及临床研究护士用于自我识别的职称。
通过电子邮件、社交媒体和研究护士网络以滚雪球抽样方式进行的在线横断面调查,包括有关开展活动的频率以及与职称相关信息的问题。对各组之间的关联进行Pearson卡方检验分析。
共收到252份问卷回复,其中233份符合分析条件。国际上开展的研究护士活动既有相似之处,也有不同之处。任何国家之间的比较都将限于美国和英国。报告的三项最常见任务是招募(120项,占51.5%)、监测研究参与者的潜在不良事件(187项,占80.2%)以及在跨学科团队中提供护理领导(169项,占72.5%)。
考虑到最初临床研究护理实践领域的背景和活动范围,拓宽框架以纳入领导领域将更好地作为专科实践的基础。
