Bedside nurses are essential to successfully conduct clinical research in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). However, engaging bedside nurses in the research process is rarely considered. Because nurses are often responsible for implementation of study interventions, failure to actively engage nursing staff can impede the research process resulting in less accurate evidence on which to base clinical practice. Furthermore, lack of nursing input during study protocol development and implementation can increase nursing workload and stress which could impede successful research implementation. We will present a comprehensive set of novel and effective strategies to successfully engage bedside nurse in research implementation.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

Describe strategies to engage bedside nurses in research protocol development
Identify strategies to increase nurse buy-in and to provide clear communication during the research process
Describe strategies to assess nurse satisfaction with study procedures and promote inclusion in research dissemination
