项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award is to prepare Margo Brooks Carthon, PhD, RN, for an independent health services research career, with a special focus on disparities research. The career development plan entails three approaches to achieve the immediate and long-term career goals of the candidate, including 1) completion of training dedicated to acquiring skills in advanced health outcomes research methods and statistics; 2) enlistment of an expert mentorship team including Dr. Linda Aiken, PhD, FAAN, RN, Dr. Herbert Smith and Dr. David Barton Smith and 3) the conduct of a study to evaluate the influence of nurse practice environments on hospital outcomes of minority patients, that will lead to future R-series grant applications. I have an offer for a faculty position from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing upon the completion of my post-doctoral research fellowship. The research project seeks to understand how characteristics of the nurse work force and the nurse practice environment influence outcomes among hospitalized minority patients. This study will employ a cross sectional, observational design to determine the effects of nurse work force and the practice environment on selected patient outcomes in order to assess what types of investments in nursing resources might be most beneficial to minority patient outcomes. The specific aims of the research project are to: 1) examine the difference in post operative mortality and failure to rescue rates among minority and non-minority patients, and determine how much of the differences in minority patient outcomes are explained by underlying patient characteristics such as comorbidites or characteristics of the hospitals where minorities seek care; and 2) determine to what extent differences in minority patient post surgical outcomes are associated with nurse staffing, the proportion of nurses with BSN education, and the quality of the nurse practice environment. It is anticipated that the results of the study will inform managerial and policy initiatives on how to improve health outcomes, particularly in hospitals serving a large proportion of minorities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal directly addresses the public health concern regarding disparities in health outcomes among hospitalized racial and ethnic minorities. Its results will represent one of the first initiatives to evaluate the influence of nursing care and the practice environment on minority patient outcomes and will provide a preliminary assessment of what kinds of investments in nursing are most beneficial.

描述（由申请人提供）：该K01指导研究科学家发展奖的目的是为RN的Margo Brooks Carthon博士准备独立的健康服务研究职业，并特别关注差异研究。职业发展计划需要三种方法来实现候选人的直接和长期职业目标，包括1）完成专门获得高级健康结果研究技能的培训研究方法和统计； 2）入伍的专家指导团队，包括Linda Aiken博士，博士，FAAN，RN，Herbert Smith博士，Herbert Smith博士和David Barton Smith博士以及3）进行一项研究，以评估护士实践环境对少数族裔患者医院结果的影响，这将导致未来的R系列赠款。在完成博士后研究奖学金后，我提出了宾夕法尼亚大学护理学院的教师职位。该研究项目旨在了解护士劳动力的特征和护士实践环境如何影响住院少数族裔患者的结果。这项研究将采用横截面，观察性的设计来确定护士劳动力和实践环境对选定患者结果的影响，以评估哪种类型的护理资源投资可能对少数患者结果最有益。研究项目的具体目的是：1）检查手术后死亡率和未能营救少数群体和非少数派患者之间的差异，并确定少数族裔患者结局的差异是通过基本的患者特征来解释的，例如合并症或少数少数人寻求护理的医院的特征； 2）确定手术后少数族裔患者的差异与护士人员配备，BSN教育的护士比例以及护士实践环境的质量有关。预计该研究的结果将为管理和政策计划提供有关如何改善健康结果的信息，尤其是在为少数少数群体服务的医院中。公共卫生相关性：该提案直接解决了医院少数民族和少数民族中健康结果差异的公共卫生问题。它的结果将代表评估护理和实践环境对少数族裔患者成果的影响的首批举措，并将对哪种护理中哪种投资进行初步评估。
