Project Summary The science underlying symptom etiology, the symptom experience, and symptom management has advanced substantially over the last few decades. Yet little is known about the biobehavioral underpinnings of many symptoms or the ways in which biological and behavioral factors interact during the symptom experience. Even less is known about symptom management strategies that can effectively target both biological and behavioral components of the symptom response. In addition, symptoms occur within a context of very influential social factors. There is an urgent need to identify social determinants of symptom presentation and management that may contribute to unique biobehavioral phenotypes and underlie many health disparities. The purpose of this training program is to prepare 5 predoctoral nursing students and 3 postdoctoral nurse trainees to conduct biobehavioral research in symptom science. Upon completion of the program, trainees will have the knowledge and skills necessary to: 1) design and conduct biobehavioral research on symptoms and health-related outcomes, 2) employ multi-method, biobehavioral approaches to the measurement of symptoms and the testing of symptom management strategies, 3) examine the mediating and/or moderating roles of social determinants in symptom presentation and symptom management, 4) develop and implement programs of symptom research with ethnically and socio- economically diverse populations across the illness trajectory, and 4) translate research findings into recommendations for symptom prevention, assessment and management. The predoctoral curriculum includes standard PhD requirements at UCSF School of Nursing, 4 symptom-specific courses (theories & methods of symptom science, biobehavioral methods for studying symptoms, genomics and other omics, and social determinants), and a research residency. Postdoctoral trainees will participate in the 4 symptom- specific courses and engage in other salient electives to advance biobehavioral research objectives that are defined in an individualized program plan. They will also have a research residency tailored to more advanced research aims and grantsmanship goals. The interdisciplinary faculty group has significant expertise in symptom science, the integration of biologic and behavioral research methodologies, and social determinants of health. The group includes 16 faculty in the School of Nursing and 9 affiliated faculty from other Schools at UCSF. Preparing nurse scholars to advance symptom science through rigorous research training in biobehavioral research is essential for improved understanding of the symptom experience and better management of symptoms by patients and clinicians. The UCSF School of Nursing is in a unique position to provide interdisciplinary training in clinical and translational research because of its strong research programs, its history of successful research training, and its ongoing collaboration with other Departments and Centers at UCSF that are involved in symptom-related science.

项目摘要 科学的症状病因，症状经验和症状管理具有 在过去的几十年中，进步大大。然而，关于生物行为的基础知之甚少 许多症状或生物学和行为因素在症状期间相互作用的方式 经验。关于症状管理策略的了解甚至更少，这些策略可以有效地针对这两个 症状反应的生物学和行为成分。此外，症状发生在 非常有影响力的社会因素的背景。迫切需要确定症状的社会决定因素 可能有助于独特的生物行为表型的演示和管理 健康差异。该培训计划的目的是准备5名摄影前护理专业学生和3个 博士后护士学员进行症状科学领域的生物行为研究。完成后 计划，学员将拥有以下必要的知识和技能：1）设计和进行生物行为 症状和与健康相关结果的研究，2）采用多方法，生物行为方法 症状的测量和症状管理策略的测试，3）检查 社会决定因素在症状表现和症状中的调解和/或调节作用 管理，4）通过种族和社会发展和实施症状研究计划 在整个疾病轨迹上经济多样化的人群，4）将研究结果转化为 预防症状，评估和管理建议。专业课程 包括UCSF护理学院的标准博士要求，4个特定症状课程（理论和理论 症状科学的方法，研究症状，基因组学和其他法学的生物行为方法， 和社会决定因素）和研究居留。博士后学员将参加4个症状 - 特定课程并参与其他显着选修课，以促进生物行为研究目标 在个性化计划计划中定义。他们还将为更多的研究居住 高级研究目标和授予技巧目标。跨学科教师团体有重要的 症状科学专业知识，生物学和行为研究方法的整合以及 健康的社会决定因素。该小组包括护理学院的16位教职员工和9位附属教师 来自UCSF的其他学校。准备护士学者通过严格的 生物行为研究的研究培训对于改善症状的理解至关重要 患者和临床医生对症状的经验和更好的治疗。 UCSF护理学院 由于 其强大的研究计划，成功的研究培训历史以及与 与症状有关的科学涉及的其他部门和中心。
