A novel research competency framework for clinical research nurses and midwives.
Nurse Researcher 2023 December 29
BACKGROUND: Clinical research nurses and midwives (CRN/Ms) are highly specialised registered nurses. They combine their clinical nursing expertise with research knowledge and skills to aid in the delivery of rigorous, high-quality clinical research to improve health outcomes, the research participant's experience and treatment pathways ( Beer et al 2022 ). However, there is evidence that the transition into a CRN/M role is challenging for registered nurses.
AIM: To discuss the development of a competency framework for CRN/Ms.
DISCUSSION: The authors identified a gap in their organisation for standards that would support the development of CRN/Ms new to the role. The standards needed to be clear and accessible to use while encompassing the breadth of scope of CRN/Ms' practice. The authors used a systematic and inclusive process drawing on Benner's (1984) theory of competence development to develop a suitable framework. Stakeholders engaged in its development included research participants, inclusion agents and CRN/Ms.
CONCLUSION: The project identified 15 elements that are core to the CRN/M role and the knowledge, skills and behaviours associated with it.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A large NHS Trust has implemented the framework. It is also being shown to national and regional networks. Evaluation is under way.
