Building the Foundation for Clinical Research Nursing: Domain of Practice for the Specialty of Clinical Research Nursing

摘要

The domain of practice for the specialty of clinical research nursing includes care provided to research participants, as well as activities to support protocol implementation, data collection and human subject protection. As the national and international clinical research enterprise expands, it is critical that investigators, health policy makers, regulators and sponsors of clinical research have an understanding of the important role that clinical research nurses play in assuring participant safety, integrity of protocol data and ongoing maintenance of informed consent, all within the context of effective and appropriate clinical care.
