Purpose/Objectives:
To evaluate the relevance of a five-dimensional model of clinical trial nursing practice in an oncology clinical trial nurse population. .
Design:
Web-based cross-sectional survey. .
Setting:
Online via Qualtrics. .
Sample:
167 oncology nurses throughout the United States, including 41 study coordinators, 35 direct care providers, and 91 dual-role nurses who provide direct patient care and trial coordination. .
Methods:
Principal components analysis was used to determine the dimensions of oncology clinical trial nursing practice. .
Main Research Variables:
Self-reported frequency of 59 activities. .
Findings:
The results did not support the original five-dimensional model of nursing care but revealed a more multidimensional model. .
Conclusions:
An analysis of frequency data revealed an eight-dimensional model of oncology research nursing, including care, manage study, expert, lead, prepare, data, advance science, and ethics. .
Implications For Nursing:
This evidence-based model expands understanding of the multidimensional roles of oncology nurses caring for patients with cancer enrolled in clinical trials.
