Abstract
Patient care needs in ambulatory care (AC) settings continue to grow and evolve in the United States, with commensurate growth of nursing responsibilities in AC. Conducting research on the nursing workforce and nursing practice is essential to understanding and meeting the needs of nurses and patients in this setting. However, the structures and characteristics of AC settings pose challenges for conducting research on AC nursing practice. This article explains unique barriers to participation in research for nurses in AC, describes recruitment challenges for nurse researchers in AC, and provides strategies to increase recruitment of nurses for AC research. Researchers in AC must find ways to recruit representative participant samples, be clear and precise in defining terms, and report robust demographic information about participants and their practice settings.
在美国,非住院护理(AC)环境中的患者护理需求不断增长和发展,护理人员在 AC 环境中的责任也相应增加。对护理人员队伍和护理实践进行研究对于了解和满足非住院护理环境中护士和患者的需求至关重要。然而,AC 环境的结构和特点给开展 AC 护理实践研究带来了挑战。本文解释了 AC 中护士参与研究的独特障碍,描述了 AC 中护士研究人员招募所面临的挑战,并提供了增加 AC 研究中护士招募的策略。AC 研究人员必须想方设法招募具有代表性的参与者样本,清晰准确地定义术语,并报告有关参与者及其实践环境的可靠人口统计学信息。
期刊介绍:
Clinical Nursing Research (CNR) is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal that addresses issues of clinical research that are meaningful to practicing nurses, providing an international forum to encourage discussion among clinical practitioners, enhance clinical practice by pinpointing potential clinical applications of the latest scholarly research, and disseminate research findings of particular interest to practicing nurses. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
