The dual role of family nurses in recruiting and screening of underserved populations for a randomized controlled trial
Introduction
Recruitment issues are the most common reason for the discontinuation of clinical trials. Nurses often play an integral role in the recruitment process, yet the advantages and challenges associated with employing nurses for recruitment and eligibility screening have not been well examined. This study explores the experiences, advantages, and challenges of entrusting family nurses with the dual responsibilities of screening, recruiting, and following up with participants in the Norwegian Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) trial.
Methods
We draw on survey data (n = 28) and qualitative interview data from structured focus group interviews (n = 29) with family nurses operating in five distinct Norwegian trial regions.
Results
The results suggest that one of the primary advantages of having family nurses conduct recruitment and screening in the NFP trial is their clinical expertise and ability to attend to underserved participants during the screening process. However, family nurses found the duality of being both nurses and researchers complex and, at times, challenging, primarily due to their strong belief in the intervention and the randomization of participants.
Discussion
The dual role of helper and researcher can often be challenging for nurses, yet their engagement can significantly impact the success of a trial. This study highlights some inherent challenges of conducting randomized-controlled trials in underserved populations and underscores the need for future research to explore facilitating factors for employing nurses in clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development.
