The National Institute of Nursing Research (NIRN) supports training in basic and clinical research to establish scientific nursing care ranging from patient care to disease and disability reduction to support of healthy living. This study highlights the training opportunities available and the purpose of these opportunities
Overview of training programs
NIRN undertakes and supports several programs that aim at providing efficient health care at all levels of illnesses. NIRN supports research through the Extramural division, and conducts research through the Intramural Division through funded Grants, Collaborative activities, Grant Development and Management Resources.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
End-Of-Life And Palliative Care and Symptom Management Training
This branch involves evidence-based training and research in advanced illness symptoms management and planning of end-of-life decisions to establish interventions that reduce discomfort of advanced illnesses on patients. These interventions address supportive, palliative and hospice needs of patients, their families, and health care teams in making treatment decisions. This improves communication, provides decision-making support, and ensures that quality of life is maintained at all stages of illness.
Symptom Research Training
This involves implementation of strategies to improving the life of patients, assisting them live as normal lives as possible. Training focuses on establishing biological and behavioral relationshipsof adverse illness symptoms with the purpose of developing better strategies to manage patient health and life.
Precision medicine
This involves providing medical treatment and prevention solutions accounting for individual genetics variations, environmental and lifestyle factors. It involves implementation of strategies that apply genomics and other ‘omic science.’
Conclusion
The NINR provide training to establish new interventions that work best for patients at the individual level, to enable predictions of factors predisposing people to adverse symptoms and illnesses and monitoring treatment efficacy while guiding interventions in improving health and symptom outcomes. It involves identifying symptoms, clarifying, standardizing measurement, identifying associated ‘biomarkers’ and developing interventions to reduce or prevent these symptoms. NIRN also offers training in global health and genomic science.
